Tossing and implicai&ng others that the

that BCggs told him he won S23 900?
Yes, no did. And before night all Do

are buying Bay Sita.te, and Through a
house called CuthbeTt g. Co Cooper
said yes and BOggs said / want YOU

checks.
Mr. Bird then took up the varicus
teieerams anil dissected them individ-

show THAT Cooper was I'M Ia clique with
BOggs. Cooper held a separate account
and Boggs anlother. Mr. Bird then
burned to the jury and said Gentle
