was at first apparent.

upon the appeal of Milton G. Howell
from the ruling of the lower court in
refusing to grant him a new trial on
the charge of murder of which offense

year. The trial of Howell attracted
considerable local attention because
of the circumstances of the murder
with which he stands charged m the
persistent search for him instituted
by the man for whom his victim had
worked. Howell was at large for al

whose ranch the murder was commit
