James said, Come on, Bob "Co&tln), : and we went up on 3d street to Koch's btore and got a drink at James' ex pense. Bob (Costin) asked ua to go to Annie Hiir8 with him, and he said he wanted to go to E s and g$t some money. , We didn't stop at Annie's while he was away, but' went over to Mailer's and got a drink. When Cos tin came? back be complained .because we didnt wait for him. Then I met Ab. MdHen ny and went over for a drink, leaving Costin and James- together. When we went back toward Annie's I met James; who said, "Bill,9 I' ve been insulted by Bob Costin In at . Annie Hill's and e -d d n him, 1 can lick him."
