men, Lizzie Washington and Psyche Branch,
had been working together all day ana had
begun an argument as TO the results Of their

they expressed 1t. The quarrel finally grew

was hacked and gashed into a shapeless mass
OF multilated flesh, and eye witnesses say
that the corpse presented a most horrible
