Il record OF six Y@sr's' service in the

phasis that he was a perfect rotter.
Capt Bergman is suing Raoul Ed

heard that Edwards had called him 4

and as a sportsman. My family owns

Virtually ell of Capt Berryman's
statements about himself and Edwards
were corroborated either by documents
Or by his friend. William Otis Bacon,
