Concerning this, Mr. Bonner said: “I have nol received the offer of $125,000, and it would make no difference if 1 had If you were to come in here and propose to buy, say my little finger, you would naturally expect to pay a pretty good price for it, and you would, further. more, be pretty safe in offering a big price for it, because you would know very well that I would not sell the finger. Well, 1 would as soon think of parting with my little fluger as 1 would with Maud 8. Maud 8. is simply not for sale; that is all there is to the matter.
