papers containing Berner's oonfession
btforathe coroner. Under the law
of the state none of the jurors who
had read this confession could serve.

Jerusalem a temple that shall exactly
correspond to that which was de
strayed by the Romans in A. D. 70."
It adds the information that two of
tbasa "millionaires" have already
