Through the thick veil which she wore
1t was impossible to secure a glimpse

MED into the court Dol by Miss Agnes

The court took under Amusement the

the opening statement for the state, IN
which he stated that he expected 70
prove that Ellis Glenn, the M and

the same person and the n who com

the defense, stated that he would prove
