at Giberton. She says her life has been
threatened every day, her home has been
battered with stones each night and
large rock almost struck her little girl
who was asleep in bed. the missile resting
on the pillow against her head. The wo-
man also declared the neighbors annoy her
by gathering in front of her house, jeerng
at her and hanging Grape on the doOrknob.
She concluded by saying that one night
some one fired at her, and she asked Cen
eral Goblin TO send her protection.
