ger, to the personal knowledge of th'
Times editor. Until we see the evi
dence of disproval of the charges made
by The Sun specifying dates AM
events the Plain Dealer will rely upor
the Sun statement as true. If tn
Times will furnish evidence in sup
} port of its unsupported word the Plai
, Dealer will gladly publish it.
