Mr.. Pierce said that he eouldnt help

Mr.. Freeman replied that In the case
Of the Municipal Security Company the
receiver Of this money knsw that the firm
was insolvent when the trAnafer was
made. There are only few cases like
this. In this case a preference might be
intended, though It was not necessarily
fraudulent. But in the case Of the other

a preference and the receivers Of the

had no such intention in bringing for

Enraged by the persistent attention OF
John O'Neil to his wife, Charles Rob
inson, telegraph operator at Spruce
Creek, Pa, Wednesday, sent seven 80
caliber bullets into O'Neils body and
the latter died instantly. Robinson then
picked up the body and hurled it out

that O'Ncil, who was boarder in his
house, was unduly intimate with his
wife, and he forced his unwclcome guest
out on January 8. From McKees

ed endearing letters to Mrs. Robinson.
She also wrote letters OF the same char

volver was emptied seven bullets had
pierced O'Neil's body. Mrs. Robin
son mourns the loss OF O'Neil more

After killing O'Neil, Robinson re-
turned cody to his work, and remained
