This caused Olson to suspect that
all was not right in his family. A rel

The serpent in Otto Olson's humble
little Garden of Eden was one Harry
Hansen, bachelor with<a bald head,
one blind eye and lame leg. Although

Olson argued with the wife of his
bosom, pleading the family welfare and.
especially, the welfare of the little son,
but with little avail.
A month later. Olson again came
home to see his boy. The first night,
