for hearing for Friday Dunn changed his
plea to guilty. He was fined ten dollars
but that didn't suit, either. The offender
changed his plea again to not guilty and
was at last apparently satisfied. He
walked into the hall but was gone but
few moments when he returned and
disappointed everyone with the statement
that he was going to pay his fine.
