the woman grabbed the gun
at the muzzle and sharply pulled
it toward her and downward.
The gun was discharged, the

for her injury. Then Stone was
released.

there is another purpose in

The Republicans expect to lose
the House. By revolutionary
methods they can convert the
expected minority into a
majority. For this purpose it
will only be necessary to bring
out the figures of this investigat

figures as to the number of
