 some papers for MT. White in 'his of fces,'' the contents of which she did
 not know. When she got frightened about the papers, and demanded to see them, she said MT. White took her to MT. Tunnels office, and there they burned a paper which had her name at the bottom of it, She was not allowed to see what the paper contained be- fore it was destroyed.
