old girl III West Kansas City, on Sunday
night last, drew quite a crowd TO Justice

several ropes. and cries of Hang the"

ing the trial, and nothing but the efficiency
Oi the officers prevented trouble. Hall is u
tall, ungainly, sandy complexioned specimen
Of ..poor white trash" with large mouth, pro-
truding eye-teeth and repulsive expression.
The unfortunate little girl and Halls wife
were the only witnesses examined. which
was unnecessary, as the human lend con-

questions and admissions in max
