...revision was to rob Milton T. Everhart, son-in-law of Albert Bacon Fall, of the excuse upon which he escaped testifying in the Fall-Sinclair oil lease trials. If immune to prosecution for anything he did more than three years ago, Mr. Everhart cannot again plead fear of selfincrimination; must tell about some suspicious Liberty Bonds he handled in 1922 during the transaction of the Messrs. Fall & Sinclair. Last week's developments in the Fall-Sinclair case amounted only to taking testimony on the jury-tampering charges against Harry Ford Sinclair and W. J. Burn's detectives...

Boston may be the object of prejudice in his mind. Since Dayton and Chicago are linked together one is tempted to infer that the Dayton fear of the British have some common origin.

His lot will be a sandy purgatory of heat, fever, mosquitoes, mangy beasts and tribesmen foes who fight like jackals-but there will be "no questions asked". . . . Such a life attracts not only fugitives, but honest youths athirst for adventure. Such a life attracted Bennett J. Doty of Biloxi, Miss...
...same letter Dickens writes that he has not seen any place that he likes as well as Boston. "I hope I may be able to return there, but I fear not. We are now in the regions of slavery, and spittoons, and senators. All three are evils in all countries, but the spittoon is the worst. I don't see the use of it, either. If it be in deference to the opinion of society, I for one, would rather not be obliged to imagine constantly what may be inside that circular orifice. I prefer the box of sand, which...
