revolver and cleaned it. There. was very
little dirt on it. AS he was doing this he
said, It's just like picking up money
Then he laid down or his couch with his
overcoat over him. I went back to my
fat. We got up early the next morning to
get paper"
There was a dramatic scene after the
court had adjourned. The mother Of the
two boys, one the accuser and the other

lips of her eldest born. She was torn by
conflicting emotions, apparently not know

embrace and, with gasping sob, went
out ef the courtroom, while the deputy
put the handouts on Harry and led him
back to jail.
