He had an order from Vice. President

Hughes. a notary public, and myself,
were present Jan. 8. 1909, and saw that
tho box was empty when II was opened.
The box had been rented for six
months. This period ran out in October,
1901. Under the law, we have the legal
right to open U ch boxes three years
after the rental paid period has expired.

they were In business at No. 4 Bowery

did we have the legal right to open the

When George w. Glaze was told of the

II admit Brewster had "A shadowy
