Castleman was over to my place this
afternoon.
Dean-what did Castleman say2

That lis all there Is about it. When
we went out to East Gary this after
noon, after leaving you out of the ma
chine. Castleman followed us out there
The man is simply crazy. He actually
wanted to trade machines out there
and we give him machine and we
take his and our driver. l told him by
God that we had as much right to the
machine as he did and that when he
wanted the machine to go to the sta
) tion and get 1T like we did and that
: when we had it he could not have it,
He stormed. but it did not do him any
good. 1 told him he might as well for
get all that noise.
. Dean--well. by G.. he had his nerve.
