shooting in the cell of the prisoner-will
Schneider, Officer Myers and one or two others
were present Examined the overcoat the next

Palmer and VIII Schneider went with witness
to the station the first time. All left the station

Schneider met at witness house Monday even
ing. Mr.. Hensey is cousin by marriage of
witness. and is one of the proprIetors of the
