Outrage on Quinn.
'T think it Is an outrage the way this
man Quinn is being treated" said Mir.

tenant in my house for moro than seven
months. To the best OF my recollection
he came here about the first OF November

that lie is one OF tho finest gentlemen

There is no reason In the world why he
should be arrested on kidnapping charge.
'aersonally I think that the county at
