Thus John Young. first vice president
Of the International BARRIERS Associa-
ton. who had been summoned TO dis
credit the testimony of Claude Sea and
Horace Fausley two Louisville BARRIERS
who testified against Dean on aStur-
day. was made TO admit that a Louis
Vile woman who in times past lived at
AIS Jackson street. had been the re-
eipient of his attentions, and this de-
spite the fact that he is married.
[ In self defense to questions by At
torney McAleer, Jacob Hanger. ex-chief
of police of Louisville had to deny that
he was let out of office for grating.

and for a minute or two he let loose a
torrent of indignation for having to
submit to questions of this nature.
