Several times during the morning Finney
had passed up and down the street in front
of Aliens shop and on one occasion re-
marked. pointing to Allen, that he was the
Methodist he intended to kill.
Some time after he again walked up the
street opposite Aliens shop making re-
marks. when Allen asked him If he was
talking to him. to which Finney replied,
Yes"
Shot Him Twice.
Allen then stepped across the street, car
rying in his hand a wrench with which he
had been working and asked Finney what
he wanted. Finney replied: II want to kill
you.' at the same time drawing a re-
volver and shooting him twice. Finney was
Immediately placed under arrest and is

appointment by telephone. Miss Gould
treated the information as a surprise. de-
clarfng that she had no intimation that
place was to be offered her. She would
not discuss the appointment or commit
until after receiving official notice OF the
honor.

less worker and she would not. 1t Is be-
lieved. accept the appointment unless she
Is convinced that she could be of real as
sistance. AS 1t would be necessary. In or
der to play such part on the board. to
spend considerable time in St Louis. her
action upon the tender of the place is prob
lematical.
