of it. I could have had no motive il
the matter, and 1 assuredly did no
furnish any poison, in any form, tc
any person who could have admins

DR.. Hull denied that he had visited
Quincy with the other suspect, whose

feeder, because sows differ in the

keep them gaining in weight jus,
enough to cover the increase made by
the young they were carrying. We
avoid getting them too fat.
