Some of them have come In here and looked at cash registers since their licenses were revoked, but I have In all caaes Invited them out more or less Impolitely. "I wish you would state that I work under a salary and get neither com mission nor anything else from the sale nf machines. I have known for some time that my buslnesa nnd political and personal enemies have been cir culating these nasty-rumors about me. and 1 am glad of a chance to clear my self either before the court.
