against Manning and five others
charging arson.

said, but Rightor claimed the case
was still pending.
IF the docket's that way it's been
changed up" Manning said, adding
he had been paid s25 a day to investi-
gate the other five and there was not
bit of evidence against me in the
whole doggone case"
Manning brought roar Of laughter
when he said he used to be en-
ployed as an 'undercover agent on
the Leviathan" and Il think I saw
Senator Long on that ship once"
He again created a ripple when he
said Senator Harrison had once as
sisted him regarding his efforts to get
civil service status.

said.

Cites Governor Election.
At the close of an exchange subse-
