So far as police information goes Baff never contrib- uted a penny to any of the funds raised by the poultrymen, always on the outs with the members of the so-called “Chicken Trust” and refused to contribute to a fund to de- fray the expenses ofan appeal when a score of them were convicted of conspiracy in the Court of Generai Sessions.
