A spade was quickly got, and the first
dirt thrown up exposed the body Of the
dead man. His head, both legs and one
arm had been severed from the trunk.
The cold-blooded vixen stood calmly by
while the remains were being dug up.
Her story is that after knocking down
Kinney and killing him, she deliberately
proceeded to cut him up. She first cut
the head oil with an old axe and the legs
al the hips, and then severed one arm.
Becoming somewhat tired, she stopped
her butchery, and, putting the body in an
old gunny sack, dragged il TO n small
hole that Kinney had himself dug, threw
IL in; then wen into the house, gathered
the limbs and the head and threw them
in. covering the hole with less than six
