ter of the printer McWllliams, was
the mere instrument of whisky in possession
of his brain and in control of his arm. Not
Cullin, but .Whisky, was the murderer of
the poor dead boy who has paid the price
of the riot of poison in the blood of his
executioner. We simply deal with facts.

of Melton, who lnterfered to separate the
combatants, were shot. Caldwell was in
