Mr. Hughes asked if if was line that as
manager or the ltolerm club Mr. Ashmead
had exacted commissions from contractors,
and had recently, as charged, made attempts
te lake similar tributes from men w he supply
the asylum with goods.
Mr. Sutten replied that he had no idea
there was a shadow of truth In nnv such

made in the Reform eluli. Thuy wero merely

They wero net muiatur.il rumors In a club

he said, "11" he has sought te iiilltieiice the
