tentative cases made out against Disbrow in
the newspapers. These differ materially

kept his own counsel 1t would be useless for
me TO talk about any one feature Of the sup
posed cases published, for the reason that the
matter may never come up at the hearing. L
know Disbrow's story fully, but j shall con-
tinue to refuse to make it known until the
right time comes
