use alcohol in medicine
"Of course, but you said you told the

| SOME Of which witnesses Judge Campbell

ed to know why some action had not
| been taken against Mr.. Harrison as we'll
ms Mr.. Beard. Judge Campbell declared
that he had laid the matter before thR
| grand jury, that 1t was their business Ia
| indict Harrison, Beard and everybody
else who might be connected In the at

Frequently / have found bottles-on one
occasion, I am frank 10 say, that found
