circumstances under which he ac.

narrative by introducing the name of

questions skilfully put by Delmas:
"A few days after G. NJ Roy had paid
me $500 at the skating rink to vote

stopped me. He said Gallagher had

Lonergan told how he was trapped
at Roy's home and of the confession
he made there under promise of i'm.
munity by District Attorney Langdon.
Pressed for an answer by the de.
fense, the prosecution and court, DR.,
Charles BaXton, formerly supervisor
and for a time acting mayor, turned
sayagely on Prosecutor Heney. who
had asked whether Baxton took $500
offered as bribe, and said:

gas bill, bought peanuts from the
peanut vender until the size of his
basket looked silly, and took a
flyer on the side show. The crowd
was enormous, thousands taking in
the performance and occupying every
available seat under the canvas. The
