and said that Marable was lying. She
said she never gave him a cent In her
life. and hardly knew him. She said she
went I'D TO the Pollard house at the
request Of her husband, who was working
for Mr.. Pollard, to see what the farm-bell
was ringing for. When she got there she
found that Mr.. Pollard was calling SER
want named Lucy. and after talking TO
him a short while she returned TO her
home. She didn't go TO the Pollard house
again until after the murder, when she
again heard Mr. Pollard ringing the bell.
Poky Barnes would say nothing about
herself but both women stoutly denied
having been connected in any way with
the murder.

said he saw Mary Alternately and Poky
come running down from the Pollard
house with their clothes up around their
waists. They greeted him hurriedly, and
Mary Alternately gave MIN $40 bill. He
noticed that blood was smeared over both
OF their clothes, and said they appeared
very much excited. They then left him.

his arrest. He went TO Chase City and

are confronted by figures showing the

by saying that this production would

pert is here making estimates. The
spring at the factory has practically
dried up so that supply from that
source cannot be had. The other
plans being considered are deep wells

is no doubt the safest and surest
method Of getting an adequate supply
but the expense is against it. II
would probably cost $4,000 more

get il from wei.
There is the serious question on
