bridge on Second avenue, but thought it would
pav. and was needed. Judge Eviing &ald he
thought that if Mr. Galleece had tried to run a

1888. but Judge Ewingsaid: "There isno earthly
use for a saloon there." Judge Magee added:
"People must not complain this year if they

JOHNSON ON THE CONCERTS.
He Says tho Exposition Managers Hnvo Nat
Given Up the Idea The Scotch-Irish
Congress Will Settle llie Qneatlon of a
llnll.
Manager H. M. Johnson, of the Exposi
tion Society, was a passenger to New York
last evening, whither he was bound upon
business connected with the biggest show on
earth to be given at the Point next fall.
He was plied with several questions as to
the feasibility of summer concerts and the
attitude of the Exposition managers upon
the matter as agitated in The Dispatcii
very recently. Mr. Johnson said: "The
Board of Managers has by no means given
up the project, and it seems a pity that some
decided action cannot be taken. The trans
formation of Mechanical Hall into an audi
torium, which has been undertaken by the
Scotch-Irish Congress and the International
Sunday School Convention, should very ma
terially simplify the question. The hall w 111 be
adjusted to concert uses without any cast to
tho Exposition Societs'. It v, ill ho remembered
that the item of expense in lining up the main
hall for concert purposes was considered in a
way to be a dravthack to the plan as originally
proposed. But here would be an amply adequate
hall ready at hand.
"The Exposition Society is in just this posi
tion: The contract for a musical attraction of
great merit could he closed at any time, but it
is absolutely essential that a positive guarantee
be given for the contract, which would ap
proximate 13.000. The societv could hardly
take chances in the matter without causing
grave questions as to its right to speculate in
tho amusement field. It is, of course, a moral
certainty that the receipts would balance the
expenses, but a concern that offers its bonds to
investors could hardly be expected to turn
aside from a course alreauy manped out. We
have been urged to appeal to Mr. Andrew Car
negie on the supposition that hn would come
forward and guarantee the amount necessary
to execute a contract, Dut Mr. Carnegie has
his own method of expending his money, and
it Mould be an impertinence to ask him to as
sume the financial risk in this case.
"J here are other wealthy citizens here, how
ever, and it would be a grand thing if some one
would come f orw ard and guarantee the amount
required. A dozen men could easily divide the
amount between them without leeling it, and
might not be called upon to guarantee a cent
in the end. In this way the thing could go
right ahead, and the public would assuredly
appreciate tho effort to provide it with cheap
and good music. I leel some delicacy in urging
such a plan, but I am an enthusiast' upon tho
subject of sumurnr concerts, believing that
tbeyarea great educator in the community,
-foe hall will invite the working out of a con
cert plan of the scope I have alluded to, and
the Exposition Society is most favorably dis
posed toward the plan, while being disinclinefl
to dabble in the managerial field, in the hope
that some wealthy and public-spirited citizens
will inaugurate active measures to see tbo
plan put through. It will not conflict with tne
future plans of the society In the least"
CIT1ZEXS WANT IT PATfcD.
An
Opportunity to Have tho Brownsville
Road Improved.
Some of the property owners living along the
Brownsville road are agitating a scheme for the
paving of that thoroughfare. The Toad has
been in a terrible condition all winter. The
mud has been two feet deep in some places, and
scarcely a day passos that a funeral does not
gtick on the hill.
Complaints have been made frequently
against the road company because they con
tinue to collect toll without making any im
provements. The company comes to the front
now and offers to pay half the expense of
paving the road if the citizens whose property
fronts on it will pay the other half of the cost.
They propose to give the property owners the
choice of the material to be used.
It is likely a meeting of citizens will be called
shortly to consider the proposition. It is
claimed by some that the proposition ought to
be accepted, as the benefit derived from the
paving of the road will increaso tho value of
their property.
KEEB DENIES IT.
Ho Say lie Hod No Connection With tho
WyninD-Stnyton Contest.
John N. Neeb. of Allegheny, denies that he
had any connection with tho Stayton-Wyman
contest. To a Dispatch reporter he made tho
following statement yesterday:
"I knew nothing of any movement of the
kind until I heard ot it on Tuesday evening
(yesterday), nor do I know of any of my
mends taking a hand in it. I believe that Hon.
James G. Wjnian was honestly and legally
elected Mayor of Allegheny. If ho has other
preferences for Senator of the Forty-second
district than me, which he has not indicated so
far. it doesn't alter tho fact of his honest
election."
1IES. EOGERtf HDSBA.ND TALKS.
The Rumors Concerning Her Interment Em
phatically Denied.
The reports concerning Mrs, Rogers' inter
ment were totally and emphatically contra-,
dieted by her husband yesterday, and her re.
mains were taken to their last resting place
under full authority of the law.
Coroner McDowell said je:terday that tho
railroad rules for the shipment of bodies were
so stringent and the State laws of Pennsyl
vania governing the rounty officers so strict
that tho idea of making a poisoning case of
Mrs. Rodgers' death would be positively redlc
ulous. HE WAS SOT A MECHANIC.
The Statement That J. C. BrosI Was a Mem.
ber of the Order, Denied.
J. C. Brosi, the alleged Southside forger, has
not yet been heard from. A description of the
missing man has been sent all over the country
with a view to aiding tho officials in locatin"
him.
The following note was received at THE
DISPATCH office, last night, from J. A. Morri
son, of the feouthswc: "I, as the proper officer
of Iron City Council, No. 171. Jr. O. U. A. II.,

SMITH IS RESPITED
TJie Pardon Board Will Post
pone His Execntion.
HE RECEIVES THE NEWS.
Attorney Moore's Graphic Presenta
tion of the Kegro's Case.
A FULL EXAMINATION TO BE MADE
The case of Smith, the condemned mur
derer, at present under sentence in the Al
legheny County Jail, was considered by the
Pardon Board yesterday. "W. D. Moore
represented the case of the defendant. He
said he was unexpectedly and unwillingly
in the case, Thomas M. Marshall haying
requested him to represent the prisoner. In
describing Smith's position,he said becoming
intatuated with a bad person was like a
mouse in the paws of a designing feline.
Smith was madly attached to his
wile and for a while his insane
love for her led him to condone her oft-repeated
offense. Finally his affection and
her wrongdoing produced a tempest in his
mind which led to a determination to kill
his wife and himself.
HE WAS NOT EESPOJTSIBLB.
When he formed the purpose, and when he
fired the fatal shot, he had not the responsi
bility which should send a murderer to the
gallows. Judge White was censured for his
charge, which, Mr, Moore said, was not a proper
interpretation of the law so far as it referred
to the power of the jnry to judge of tho mean
ing of the law, and caused a verdict of murder
in the first degree.
Wm. McEIroy presented the facts of tho
murder to the board, sketch of iha trial and
read the letters asking for clemency. The
board held an executive session in the after
noon and recommended a respite for Smith,
which.the Governor will grant in order that a
full examination may be made into his case.
nOW HE RECEIVED THE NEWS.
Convict Smith received tho news of the
work in his behalt yesterday with the same
saturnine expression which he has worn since
he was arrested after shooting his wife and at
tempting to kill himself. He places great re
liance upon the fact that he will not be allowed
his religious privileges according to the Baptist
rite, and says that although the Pardon
Board has respited his sentence, he thinks that
npon a minute consideration of the trial,
recommended for review by the Judge who
tried the case, the jury which convicted tho
criminal and the Prosecuting Attorney who
tried the case, the defendant will stand a
pretty fair chance before the board. He
seemed to feel jovial yesterday and had been
in consultation with two attorneys early in the
afternoon.
WILL BOKE CHAItTIEES.
Opinions nnd Lines Attain Reformed Peo
ple Beginning to Understand That It Is
Guess Work A Key Company Formed
Yesterday.
The striking of the O'Brien well in the
edge of the village of Chartiers has again
upset preconceived ideas regarding the oil
bearing rock. Last summer, territory a mile
or two west of the Arbuckle gusher was con
demned as too far west. The condemnation
was followed by the striking of two good
wells on the Depp farm, still further west,
and later by getting a well in Coraopolis,
west of the Western development.
Early in tho winter the Beck well was
brought in, hut it was a small one and somo
distance east of the Arbuckle well. Some peo
ple who professed to be able to follow the
deviations of the strata had condemned tho
territory east of the Arbuckle, and the result
at the Beck well enabled them to say, "I told
you so." for although there is oil in the Beck
it is not in large quantity. Now they are in
turn npset by the strike in the O'Brien well.
Its output, it is raid, has been probably over
estimated, but it seemed to be generally agreed
yesterday that it was a good well.
The last strike led to the formation of a com
pany at Chartiers. The members, or at least a
portion of them, are William Zinkhand, Fred
Lauingcr, John A. McKee. David McQunnegle,
'Squire Miles Bryan, ex-Sheriff Hunter, Kobert
Mc.Minn and David Spence. The capital stock
is $20,000. This will be sufficient to drill half a
dozen wells, and it is said tbev will operate in
and about the Tillage wherever they can get
sufficient encouragement from property
owners.
SHOT AT AN IRON DOG.
A New Policeman Who Will Go Shy on
Strange Canines Hereafter.
Several days ago Chief Brown, of the Depart
ment of PnblicSafcty.putanumber of addition
al police officers on duty between Soho and East
Liberty. They were new men on the force, and
one of tbem was decidedly new in the locality.
The first night he was on, and while faithfully
patrolling his beat, ho was told of a large,
vicious dog that was running at largo on Fifth
avenue.
About 11 o'clock, whilo walking along the
above named street,he thought he spied the dog
on a graveled walk leading up to the, residence
of a prominent citizen. The officer deter
mined to make a record for himself the
first night. He called to the dog,
but the latter apparently was not on
speaking terms with the guardian of tho
peace, and did not move. Then tbe officer
tried to scare the animal by commanding him
in a very loud tone of voice to "get out." Tho
dog did not move, and the officer, who was
getting more angry each moment at tbe utter
disregard for military discipline, pulled out
his revolver and fired at the dog. The latter
maintained his stolid indifference, and the
officer (ired again, and again and again. By
the time the last shot was fired the officer was
close to the dog, and found it to be an admira
ble piece of work from some iron foundry.
The funniest part of the story is that tho dog
had not been even grazed by the bullets. It is
needless to say there is one officer ou the force
who would not qualify at a shooting match.
MORROWS PARTING INJUNCTION.

A SERIES OF TRAGIC DEATHS.
Joseph Dodds, the Injured Railroader, Belong-
to n Family Peculiarly Afflicted Four
of Them Met With Fatal Accident! The
I.Iit In Detail.
Joseph Dodds, who is now lying in one of
the city hospitals, dying from the effects of
a crushed sknll received while coupling
cars in the railroad yards at Port Perry, a
few days ago, comes from a remarkable
family. Many of them have met tragic
deaths. Dodds was born at Saltsburg, at
one time a brisk mining town one mile above
Port Perry. W. H. Brown operated several
large coal works there. Hi3 father was a driver
and at one of the roads checked the coal.
Nearly 0 years ago an unfortunate occurrence
happened when he was checking a full load of
coal down the incline. A small boy, Charles
Bond, whose folks now live at Tnrtlo Creek,
was crossing a footwalk on a bridge over the
Incline on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. He
missed his footing and fell over just as tho
wagon full of coal thundered down the in
cline. He was instantly killed.
It was but a short time after this that a young
son of Mr. Dodds fell into a well and was
drowned. Several years afterwards Mr. Dodds
was driving a team of horses under one of the
coal bins, when a lad named Sweeney, who was
riding with him, got canght between the bed of
the wagon and the bin and the life was crushed
out of him. Years later he had a son .William,
a young man 20 years of age, ground to death
under a trip of coal cars that he was bringing
down a steep grade in the mine. Not more
than two months after this sad afflic
tion to tho family Peter Dodds, a cousin
of the mun whoso" life now hangs
within the balance, was a visitor at his uncle's
residence. While handling a pistol it was acci
dentally discharged, the ball penetrating the
brain of James, a 3-year-old son. About four
years ago Mr. Dodds was instantly killed him
self, bv falling down a shaft into the mine.
Should Joseph Dodds die from the effects of
bis injuries it will be the firth tragic death in
the family, and none have yet occurred that
were known to bo natural.
HER MIND UNIMPAIRED,
An Investigation ol the Mental Condition
of Hint. Chnmbcrs Concluded.
Superintendent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty
Society, yesterday continued his investigation
of the charges made that John Chambers, who
lives at the corner of Woodlawn avenue and
New Brighton road, was neglecting his family
and contemplated having his wife confined in
an insane asylum.
Dr. W. D. Rankin assisted in the personal in
vestigation of Mrs. Chambers. Dr. Rankin
discovered that Mrs. Chambers had been a
patient of his eight years ago, when she was
suffering from a mental and nervous strain,
owing, it was said, to trouble sho was having
with her husband's family, but she gave no
evidence of insanity. The doctor made a thor
ough examination of tho woman yesterday, but
nothing was shown to prove that her mind was
at all impaired. Byway of guarding against
possible complications, Mrs. Chambers was ad
vised by Dr. Rankin and Superintendent Dean
to return to her mother's home, as her life is
unhappy. There are six children in the family,
and Mr. Chambers will be asked to aid in the
support of the family if a separation ensues.
FIND1XG HIS FRIENDS.
Sergeant Alerz, of the Central Police Station,
Make n New Discovery.
Last evening the friends of Serfgant Metz, of
the Central police station, presented him with
a full china table set and a glassware set,
which were put together by the inspectors, cap
tains and lieutenants of the police force and the
police reporters of the city.

known newspaper man and responded to by
Judge Grinp on behalf of the recipient, who

PITTSBDEG SUPPLIING MATERIAL
Isaac Ricbey, representing a number of
Pittsburg capitalists who have 5,000 acres
of land leased in the new Kentucky oil
field, returned to the city yesterday, after a
several weeks' stay in Kentucky. He
brought several samples of the oil with
him, which has been pronounced to be of
an excellent quality,
A great deal of excitement prevails
among the citizens of Barteu county over
the valuable discovery. Everybody talks
nil by day and dreams about it at night
Mr. liicbey brought samples of the South
ern product in its crude state as well as
samples of it after being refined. He is en
thusiastic, and thinks Southern Kentucky
will excel the oil fields ot Penn
sylvania both in the amount and
quality of her oil in a few years.
SUDDENLY STEUCK THE GREASE.
The Dispatch has contained several
favorable reports recently regarding the de
velopment ot the Barren county field.
There had been a well successfully operated in
that locality for the last 15 or 20 ears, but
those bored within the last few years did not
amount to much, and many people had about
concluded that it was too far south, when the
operators suddenly began to strike oil in pay
ing quantities and of a superior quality.
Recently it has been discovered (bat oil can
be secured in sufficient quantities to supply tbe
entire Southern market, and of a better grade
of oil than either the Bradford or Washington
product. Other advantages lie in the decreased
costof production. Regular "gushers" are
being struck every dav. Some of the wells are
yielding from 230 to 3o0 barrels per day. The
big one on the Winlock farm, reported in The
Dispatch somo days ago, which burned the
derricks down and threw oil several hundred
feet in the air, is said to be doing 1,000 barrels
per day.
NEW WELLS BEING DRILLED.
The refinery at Oil City Is in operation and
oil is being placed on the market IN ew wells
are going down all around the refiner', and
every few days oil is reached in some of them.
Tbe discovery is of great benefit to Kentucky.
It is regarded as absolutely certain that tbe
baso of the southern supply will be transferred
to the new territory, and that the oil market
of the country will experience a revolution.
The only question that arises as a possible
hindrance to the permanent success of the
Kentucky field is the ono regarding the depth
at which oil is found. In some of the wells it
i reached at the depth of 180 and 190 feet,
while the big Winlock well is hut 320 feet, and
none ot the holes are below 00. Mr. Rlcbev.
who has been an operator and speculator for 20
years, and who has visited every oil field in the
whole country, expresses the utmost confi
dence in the staying qualities of tbe field.
WHAT PITTSBURG IS DOING.
The Kentucky Southern Oil Company, com
posed largely of Pittsburg capitalists,
have leased a large amount of terri
tory in Kentucky and are putting
down wells in a hurry. Pittsburg Is sup
plying the greater part of the casing and other
supplies used throughout the entire field.
The Kentucky field is favorably located for
marketing the oil. It is within easy reach of
competing lines of water and rail transportation
at Bowling Green. It i500 miles nearer in
point of distance to the great Southern and
Southwestern markets. Owing to this compe
tition it is free from possible arbitrary rates of
railroads, and tbe saving in transportation as
well as that of production will be a largo profit
on the oil sold.
TAXPAYERS' GROWLS.
Some Disposition to Criticise Their Support
of Municipal Government Vehicle I.I
censo Rcvenao and That of Street Cars
Contrasted A Dig Difference.
A field for statesmanship is developing in
ihia city, according to the views expressed
by many people T7ho own teams. The large
ly prevailing sentiment is voiced by Thomas
H. Davis, Esq., who suggests that as street
railway companies are to be given almost
the exclusive use of the streets, they should
be allowed to donate the greater part of the
expense necessary to keep them in repair.
There will be a wide field for horse tamers
soon if spirited norses are to be much longer
driven down town, or else some breed without
nerves must be cultivated, for with rapid transit
lines crossing and re-crossing each other at every
square, the skittish horse becomes unmanage
able. When you pet him clear of one car ho
gets Into the way of another. While1 it may not
oventually be the conclusion that street car
companies shall take the streets for,themselves
and keep them in repair, it is just possible that
a powerful agitation will in time tpring on on
the subject of requiring them Zither to go
overhead or underfoot below tho "(Tiiion station
and tbe Court House. Getting ut of the wayi
who a ncavny lauen wagon lata serious J on.
not only attended with severe, usaco of horses
and vehicles, but dangerous as well. The Su
preme Court It seems, however, holds that
drivers must hustle or take tbe consequences.
Tbe books in the City Controller's office show
so much discrepancy in revenuo from the
street railway companies) and the owners of
vehicles as to challenge invidious comparison.
For instance, owners of vehicles la't year paid
vehicle license to the amount of 30,392 75,
while all the street railway companies paid but
$3,090, or less than one-tenth of the former.
The Controller doesn't I like the arrangement
even a little bit. and refers to the way the mat
ter is managed in Philadelphia. Ono man who
was in the office when the matter was discussed
yesterday thought 100,000 would he nearer the
correct figuro for , street railway companies'
contribution than tbe amount realized last
year, which was considerably more than will be
gotten from tbem this year.
All admit that street railways and rapid tran
sit are great and glorious things and do much
toward the building up of tbe city and its busi
ness, but some bint that something less than
the earth might satisfy their owners.
Tho Rnrber Jailed.
William Mitchell, a colored barber, was yes
terday committed to jail in default of bail for
a bearing on ft charge of larceny. The prose
cutor is Josiali Slmbleton, Mitchell's late em
plover, who alleges that he was robbed of three
razors, a paii1 of shears, a pair of clippers and
a bone. He believes the defendant took them.
Will Boycott tbo Rond.
It is reported tha. tho Bellevue and Davis
Island Dam! Railroad will bo boycotted when it
starts on April 1. The former patrons of the
road, who have been compelled to walk ever
since it shut down at tbe beginning of tbo win
ter season, intimate that tbey can do so during
tho summer also.

William Parr, the colored porter of tho Lake
Erlo depot, was given a hearing before Magis
trate Brokaw on the serious charge preferred
by Mrs. Annie Petro. Ho was discharged on
one of the two complaints but held on tho

A naif1 Dozen Unfortunates Who Camo to
Grief Yesterday.

BOOK PRICES TO ADVANCE.
The Twenty-Five Cent Novel to be TJone
Away With Tbo Publishers Loslnc
Money on Tbem 'o Profit la Cheap Pub
lication!. The era of the cheap bound book is evi
dently at an end. Notices have been re
ceived by the booksellers in this city that
after the first of next month the wholesale
price of the bound volumes, which have
been retailing at 23 cents, will be advanced
four cents per copy. The selling price of
these books is very close, and this means
that the quarter of a dollar book will in a
very short time be a thing of the past.
A visit paid to some of the leading book
handlers put new light on the cause of the
advance. It seems that some of the pub
lishers in their efforts to put very cheap
books on tbe market, put the price so low
that they have lost money. The house
which has been putting the "Alta" 25-cent book
on tbe market, has lost fully 40.000 on the
venture. Tbey succeeded in their attempt to
publish tbe cheapest books in the market, but
have almost ruined themselves in doing so.
Regarding a report that a combination bad
been formed to shut out those business places
which sold books at cost or below the cost price
to advertise themselves, tbe prevailing opinion
was that such a combine wonld be impossible.
It would be ridiculous, said tbey, to expect the
publishers to refuse to sell to sncli houses or
anyone else who had the money. If one firm
in this city choose to purchase 10,000 volumes
from a publisher at the same price as that paid
uy tne retail dealer lor the same, and give
them away as an advertising scheme, tbe pub
lisher would not refuse to take that firm's
money simply on account of tha latter not
being in the business.
Talking of combines, it is generally conceded
that an attempt is being made among pub
lishers to quit publication or raise the price of
the cheap books that have teen on tbo market
for some years past. It is said thero is no
money in the business to either the publisher
or tbe dealer, and an attempt will be mado to
advance tbe price in a degree.
THE! KETER SPEAK, ETC.
It Is Said Tbere Is n Row Between Mayor
Elect Goarlcy and Chief Elliott.
Thero will be, it is said, a good deal of trouble
in City Hall circles after April 1. Tbe new
Mayor will have somo say in the appointments,
he thinks, and, although P. J. Donahoe was the
candidate for Police Magistrate to succeed
Alderman Gripp, he was not pleased, and prob
ably will not be. Tbere will be troublo to some
extent in the administration some months
hence, as at present Captain R. C. Elliott and
the Mayor-elect, it is said, never speak as they
pass by. The Chief of tbe Department of
Charities is one of tboso people who ask no odds
of anybody, and may appear as a kicker at any
stage of the game, lie was asked regarding tbe
trouble between bim and the Mayor, but with
one of those frozen looks which he assumes
when being interviewed, said that there was no
tronble as far as he knew; that tbe Poor Farm
was doing pretty well: tbe other institutions,
if not on a paying basis for the city, certainly
were for the inmates.
All the same, it is said, there will be the big
gest kind of a break-up before the end of the
showery month.
AK0THEK C0KB STRIKE.
The
Men nt the Millwood Mines Will
Probnbly Go Out To-dny.
Labor Headquarters at Scottdale are In re
ceipt of a communication from Millwoods
shaft. The workmen there were promised a
proportional advance with the miners of Coke
ville, Ridgeview and other points in the
Latrobe district, but so far the operators have
not abided by tbe agreement.
The Millwood miners closed a six months'
strike a few weeks since by submitting their
demands to arbitration, but tbey now intimate
that they are again willing to strike when or
dered, and a strike there is probable, as the
operators aro unwilling to make concessions.
The miners of Cokeville are awaiting an
answer on their scale which tbey submitted to
the operators, tbe Isabella Furnace Company,
for consideration. If the reply is unfavorable
they will strike to-day. A strike will not take
place at Morewood, as expected, the men hav
ing conceded that tbe company was right in
discharging a man for drunkenness.
AFTER THE DISTINGpiSHED GDESTS.
Harry English Departs for Washington to
Secure Them for the Banquet.
Mr. H. D. W. English, of tho Amencus Club,
left last evening for Washington, D. C. He is
a member ot the Grant Banquet Committee,
and was bound to Washington to secure tbe
Sresence of sundry statesmen at the event of
aturday, April 28.
Mr. English stated that a number of promises
ot a conditional nature had been made by some
Congressmen of national reputation as orators,
and honed that bis visit would be productive of
results in tbe way of positive promises to be
present. He believed that the oratorical
round-up would show a roster of speakers for
the banquet which would excel all previous
efforts in that line. Tbe list of tickets has
been filled all except about 35, and tbe chances
are that tickets will be at a premium. Mr.
English will return on Saturday next and will
be able to report progress at that time.

Somehow or other a story got out yesterday
afternoon tnat Drs. Gleason, Blair and Pulford
had resigned from the medical staff of the
Homeopathic Hospital on account of differ
ences with Dr. Willianl.
A call was made on Dr. Selp. head ot tbe fac
ulty. He stated that Dr. Blair was on duty with
him in the afternoon and that Dr. Pulford had
gone home to Ansonia, Conn., on account of
sickness. As to Dr. Gleason, he knew nothing
of his private affairs, but knew that no could
not have had any disagreement with Dr. Wil
Hard,as tbe latter is not on duty at tbe hospital
now and will not bo before April.
Colonel Slack, tbe Superintendent, said:
"You are the eighth person who has called re
garding this matter, and there is nothing at all
in it. Dr. Blair is on duty. Dr. Pulford went
home on account ot sickness at the reqnest of
his father and sister, and Dr. Gleason, who was
his college cbnm. went home with him. Dr.
Wllllard is not on duty, and will not be before
April, and he has no private patients here.
How the story started I do not know."
This concatenation of statements would
seem to knock the story of a row in the institu
tion into a cocked hat.
