Rosa had learned something Of the
way this class of men are dealt with
and her love for her mother made her
obdurate. Morris raised his bid for
freedom until the rabbi in his home
in Russia had on hand about 500 to
deliver to Mrs. Reimgewizc when she
would consent to the divorce. Results
did not come from his offer SO Nor
