All his private busi ness, as well as the affairs of the office, were gone into and, while there was much that he could not remember, it was evident that be was telling all that he did know. Hanna admitted that he had set men to watch Mids Nina Miller, j his former bookkeeper. They were not detectives, he said, but were men living in town.
