Of twenty, two hnvo died, five have proven backsliders, fourol them paying , tlicir fines and tbe fif'h being to poor to do so. This leaves thirteen of the original twenty, and, as far as is known, they have not violated their pledges. „ One of those wh'o took the pledge Is'John' Pearson, waiter at the Sherman House.
