This cancerous growth Is nothing

Dery and Is hoping that the police de-
partment will make a serious attempt
to apprehend the guilty person.
Il do not wish 10 reflect in any way
upon the police, but 1t seems to me
that they ought to make it their busi-

dered my father, and that it Is fool
ish, with the evidence before him, TO
assert that it is a case Of suicide,
