believed by the citizens of the vicinity
to be none other than the husband and
the brother-in-law, Joseph Cooking,
who was himself found in the cellar
after the tragedy, apparently half un-
conscious
This belief has become so strong in
the minds Of the neighbors and the
citizens of the surrounding towns that
threats Of lynching are being freely
made. He is virtually under arrest
The fact that no clew whatsoever
has been unearthed whereby any
other than the occupants Of the Cock
ing store and dwelling could be con-
.nected with the crime, is telling
adainst the quasi prisoner. A number
extra deputy sheriffs are stationed
inand about the Cooking residence,

@Aprise on the part Of those who be-
