with the singer Robini, and put then

Wednesday this great press. fitting in
omniscience TO the imagery OF the
Psalrnist, likewise answered this query
with an accurate story of the stealing
Of the Virgin OF the Mountain and the

orders The public had now indeed
mrniiy to the singer Robini? In the
shadow of what protecting authority did
he thus happily dwell? BY what potent
influences was the district attorney ,

great an outrage was this negligence OF
the law! But for the energy OF the
public this homicide might have passed
unnoticed into the catalogue of mysteries.
