The murder Of former Representative

Pulford operahouse and directly in front
of the door to his office. Mr.. Berry IS
derneath, but fifty feet or less away,
is the drug store owned by Pulford
According to eye witnesses Pulford
was in his store waiting on customer
when the two shots were heard that
brought Berry's death. This fact was
sworn to by two witnesses at the in
quest. No evidence to the contrary was
produced.
Moreover, third witness corroborates
the testimony proving Pulford s alibi,
and in addition the druggist swears that
he was in the store when the fatal shots
were fired. Thus, it is established, for
the present, that Pulford was at least
fifty feet from Berry and separated by
several stone walls, when the lawyer met
his death.
