policy in Chester Mr.. Ball objected
to bringing in this evidence Magis-
trate Hollis admitted {.
Il asked Chadwick how the money was
conveyed IN such cases." continued Mr..
Reinhardt He told me he took the
money personally in an envelope 10 the
mayor OF Chester-not this mayor, but
the previous one-but now they were
dealing with the chief OF police there, but

nothing to do with the Chester business.
