The story we're about to tell might make some people mad as... Well, we simply couldn't say it on the air. Unless it's clearly understood, our characters both bad and good are fictional as is the whole affair.
We hope that none of this is misconstrued. Our author is the first to be Sue. In New Orleans, Louisiana, a senator from Indiana, or possibly a Connecticut or Maine, got off the train. Logan Berry, Oliver P, went down from Washington, D.C.
and prison terms for crooks were on his brain. That's very plain. I'll hang that gang from every tree and staple, because they're stealing money from the people. But Logan Berry doesn't know that gang of crooks who got the dough People have tricked Jim Taylor so he makes text the rent.
They set a trend. It's true, although the Senator has blamed me. The Louisiana purchasing company framed me. Through his power of attorney, while our Jim was on a journey, the crooks made Jim the company's president without consent.
I hate to spend my future in a prison, and every guy must save himself and his in. To save himself from standing trial and winding up in urine style, Jim had to cut the senator to his size by a compromise.
