and told his wife to go to the grocery

he made the coffee. When she left he
locked both doors. The two children were
asleep in n second story back room. Neigh.
bors heard several pistol shots. but did not
know where the reports came from until
few minutes later. when Mrs. Franks
returned TO her house. She found tho
door locked. and. failing to get response
20 her pulls at the bell. called for her hus.
band 20 open the door. The little girl.
hearing her mothers call. staggered down
stairs. opened the door and fell uncon-

the child the woman rushed into the par.
