gives far greater retnrns for their investments than any other Port- j

testimony of the superiority of The Journal advertising similar to

the assertion that af a result of the firm's campaign, advertising a J

greater results than any other newspaper, and he is very well pleased J

to have thrown himself In front of a

to have feared that he would be ac

left a note declaring that he could no
longer bear the strain of accusation. The
note was found at hla home.
