TO secure somebody TO dump them into
the darinage canal and carry out his
plan. Almost npon the point of Civ

consented 10 perform the deed.
The barrels were loaded onto two fiat
ears and transported to Lamont. ILL.,

ed with the situation. Whe the bar

ed the entire 107 barrels to the drain

poured the squirming contents into
the canal. He worked quietly all night
and the watchman found the empty
barrels along the canal bank the next
