never taken kindly to the ways OF

liberties She allowed Harry to take
would land him in felon's cell some
day, and when Harry killed Stan
ford White, Blair was quoted IN
Europe as saying he had never
thought Harry sound mentally, ana
that ho had expected something like
this scme day.
The supply parts" set apart in tile

obtained money to run the estate
