when asked for statement by news
paper men, stated:
1T is indeed a wonderful thing in
our lives and very good to have these
people express their confidence and
congratulate me. i think more OF
their best wishes than anything else
in this wide world and shall never
forget this day as long as l may live.
LAS / have stated before, l knew
all along that we would win our case,
for it was clearly a. matter of perse-
cution. We were innocent OF any
wrongdoing, and others knew that
as well as we did.
The accusation that my three boys
and I were conspiring to defraud the
United States government was q rank
injustice and something 1 cannot get
over. To have to stand trial on such
a ridiculous charge was indeed a bit
ter pill to swallow. But we knew, as
well as others, that there was but
one chance in d thousand of convict
ing.

one body of people who had conf

heart and spirit, if no others were,
and that was the people of Bath and
of old Maine. And you see," he con-
cluded with a smile, 'I was not in
the least mistaken"
