and a heavy hammer.
On examination of the two women of
the house it appears that all of the in
habitants had been at another place, en-
gagged in merry making. Green and jeff
Massey had left before the others to re-
turn to their home. When the others re-
turned they met Jeff coming out of the
house with his head bandaged in a pillow
case and he passed them without speak
ing On the inside they claim to have
found the scene already described.
Massey is still at large? 1t is under
stood that he was making toward Biz
mingham and will probably be captured
there. He was badly wounded.
There were two women, Grays wife and
another, who lived in the house, and it
is believed that they were the sub
iect of the quarrel. However, the exact
cause of the crime is a mystery.

New York, December 22-The market
opened quiet and there was little feature

The professional element was respon-

the bank statement was published, al
though not an unfavorable one, stocks
showed a tendency to sag. The Hill stocks
and Reading We're made the targets and
led in the downward trend.
The entire list closed with a weak tone

that traders still feel the money situation.
