Ala. made a permanent and lasting impression for Chiffon County.
 The jury in the Melton case found the defendant guilty and fixed his punish ment at twenty-five years In the peni- tenitary. Thearraignment of Melton by Solicitor Bowling. in his closing argu- ment. has been pronounced by many who heard it. one of the most logical and convincing ever heard in the court house here.
