Now 80 Years of Age.
TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCE
CONVICT HIM AND HE SPENT
TWENTY-THREE MONTHS IN
JAIL.

was in jail for ten months, when in
some mysterious manner he made his

spent 100000 trying to convict him.
Altogether Mr.. Jester was in jail Is

of which were continuous and had 1872
witnesses to appear against him.
Mr.. Jester is So years of age, over
six feet in height, dignif\1 and the

ity He says that no person can inn
agine the awful strain which he un-
derwent. The fact that he was limo
