Judge Mills said: "I am appearing
for Mr. Mack. I think hn should be
well paid, for tho bulk of tho work foil
on his shoulders, as he had to fight
for the Infant Guy Stillman, wIioho
Jegltlmacy was at stake. The referee
decided In Mr. Mack'rt favor after a
long and bitter contest."
Mr. Mack submitted a long altl
davit. showing that ho had spent two

to-day are in a daze as to placing the guilt for the crime. They realize '
