Bunty received some OF the goods stol-

Rogers Murphy gang. In his testimony
Burrier stated Eunty accepted and dis
posed of the goods stolen here. which.
under the Iowa statute, makes him

nently injured her hearth.
The story of the affair in the barn
leaked out at the time. and, it was
said, Mrs. Weberking was carried to
