night. but persisted in his refusal TO tell
who shot him, although he was urged TO
do so by several of his own color and the

shooting is that Ross had no bullet-hole in
mis- coat or vest although he was shot in
the left and in the rear of the left hip.
The police are diligently working 70 ferret

silence of Ross points unmistakably 10 the
fact that the shooting was justltiable.
There is little doubt that Il wronged hus-
