night Judge Altman said that he
would give each side one day to argue

the rumor could not be substantiated
in any way.

killing of Mrs. Clara Wiley Castle, the
bride of a week. The Ell Dorado band
gave a concert at night on the town

killed, played the baritone horn, sitting
by the side of Jessie Morrison'S brother,
Hayward, who played the bass drum.
Castle and Jessie MorrisonS brothers,
Hayward and Fletcher, are associated
in pleasure excursions and are good
friends.
