appeals. to see Colonel Tucker to as

something TO bring him 10 a realizat tion
OF what he was doing and OF the ruin
that was sure to follow his course.
1T was impossible to get any COM

through his lawyer. He left the city
and tried TO stay away until we should
leave in disgust, but we thought it was
time we'll spent if we could in any
way get hold of him to protect him
from himself and the vicious influence
that was being exerted over him.
