The following week i learned inci-E

I telephoned Mr. Strong Cornstoch,
chairman of the board, if they were
to hold a meeting. He said they were.
at 12:30, at the town hall. i told him
it would be impossible for me to go
there as i had not time. i told him I
was counsel for Mr. Hodgdon and ask
ed him if he would kindly tell me what _
\Ir. HodgdonV was charged with, but
he said he would not. I said to him,
“Will you tell Mr.”‘liodgdon what he
is charged with?" and be said, “No"
he would not. I said it was rather un-
just to try a man without giving him
acme information as to what he was
charged with and Latino: at least have
an opportunity to show that he was
not responsible or was not guilty. He
said they were acting under the advice
'of counsel. itold him i would 'not be
