Gus Brady and family, who are rela-

she set fire to her clothing Only by
most miraculous circumstances did the
flames fail to spread to the furniture
and set fire to the entire structure.
When found. the wooden wearing ap-
parel was still smoldering and the body
was a heap Of black and charred flesh.
The coroner was called and upon M

had been a very close shave for the
government. but that one Of the men,
bers Of the court who cast his vote
with the majority entertained opinions
OF his own. which fact rendered the
decision all the more marked and in
teresilng. This was Justice Brewer,
who, while hc concurred In the deci-
sion announced in the independent
opinion. his view was that the previ-
Gus antitrust decision had been more
sweeping than was justified.
Four Of the nine Justices disssnted
outright. These were Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices White, feckham
and Holmes. The opinions Of Justices
Harlan and white were long. while
those OF Justices Brewer and Holmes
were comparatively brief The fact
