that he had frequent conversations with
Hoffman before the killing of Mr.. Myers

jealous of the attention that the man he
accuses was paying to Mrs. Myers
Rutherford affirms the acc9mplice was
a gambler in HigginsviIle and made his
headquarters at a saloon known as the
Green Tree.
Rutherford says the man who he be-
lieVes assisted in the murder has not
been seen around Higginsville since the
death of Clarence Myers. Rutherford is
single and about thirty years Of age
