saw four boys come out of the store
about o'clock in the morning and rec

send her to Jail and then she named
Sullivan, Foley, Blake and Jerry Dris-
coll, The latter was in the court room
at the time and Mrs. Williams identified
him as one of the boys she saw come
out of the store. Jerry priscoll tried
to leave the court room, but was
stopped by the county attorney. The
latter, during his examination of the
witness, asked her if she had any other
name, and she said she had and asked
if she had to give it. The county at
torney wanted to know and she said
she was also known as Mrs Lebeau,

with the love and respect due from a
husband to a wife and has not been
