ELLISON. since receiving the news OF
Watsons death has shown the same nom
chalance which has characterized his
every move from the time that he walked
into the undertaking establishment and
sitting calmly down. talked with the at
PENDANTS until the man he killed appeared
IN the doorway. to the moment when he
was told that what was al first Thought
10 be slight wound had proved fatal
and changed the status of the charge
against hTn from one meaning at the
most few months Imprisonment to On,
which. if found guilty. viii mean a gaze
into black rifle barrels, or a lone stand
on the fatal trap.
Ellison will not talk. and neither will
his attorneys talk He has many friends
among the street car men, and it is ex-
pected that the defense will produce a
number of witnesses. If the prisoner
proves 1ustifiable homicide. he goes free
according TO the laws of the state in such
cases. If the state proves blackmail. il
Is said 1t will go hard with him. because
of recent killings public sentiment has
been thoroughly aroused. and judging
from the talk on the streets and in the
stores. will ask for an example.
