visitor. Kelley says he opened the door.
The interior OF the Jail Is kept well lighted
throughout the night, while a gas jet
burns full head in the court house hallway
leading to the Jail entrance.
The sight that met Kelley's gaze was
that OF a medium sized rather heavy set
man, very plainly dressed, wearing a
closely cropped beard and a soft hat well
pulled down over his eyes. Kelley in
stinctively found himself looking down
the barrel Of a big revolver which the
stranger held in his hand.
Hold up your hands," said the Wis.
itor.
Kelley verv promptly complied.
Now come outside" continued the
stranger, and Kelley obediently stepped
into the hallway. The stranger began to
back inviting Kelley TO follow his move
ments until the door of the sheriff. office
was reached.

The door was unlocked and opened.
Kelley marched in. covered by the re-
volver.
