y. Baldwin, of the counsel for the

the action us the government had

The witness made a sweeping denial

tradicted her in every essential phase
of the testimony and added certain
features which had not been brought
out by the testimony OF the complain

that she had made no protests of any

she had at no time made inquiries re-

to be waiting to join the party which
was going to a dance at Crookston.
