attempt when ! told him he should

grunted and said, Well, what are you
going to do about IT,? After that |
told Mr.. Richmond that If | saw any
thing more of the kind | should re-
port him to the board. At that time
he said Margaret was all right and he

told me, when ] was living at Mrs.
Andrews, that ! need not worry
about Margaret any more, for she was
all right.
