the big bull whip. They had also some
rags saturated with oil, a bundle of
straw and a bottle of OIL They prob

statement to relatives at the Emerg-

He asked permission to do this after
Marks story of the tragedy was read
to him to-day.
According to Stiff, there was no in
tention of killing Marx. The object OF
the midnight visit, he says, was to tar

to take him In the blackboard, which
was in waiting, to the outskirts Of the
village and turn him adrift with the
warning to leave the community imme-
diately under pain of more severe
handling.
