related costs amount to about 150000 to 16000 Its a losing proposition he added The magistrate said he be Kcved every word of Rayners testimony and that while not morally guilty he was legally guilty He thus levied a 2 fine rather than the usual 10 but Rayner said he would serve the day In jail Riviera Fires Finally Out MARSEILLES France Reu ters Weary firemen today finally put out all forest
