 Mr Pepin represents that he is en-
 tiFely innocent of any intent to do wrong insofar as any part he may have q iI the sale Of the Cadillac here.

 That Putnam and the surrounding cepntfy la, hee- dumping serounI for stolen cars seems to be pretty

 Before the officers finish their work here they hope to know the history of nearly 100 cars of the used class that have been sold here within tie l past year.
