a social drink. He was never quar-

was considered harmless. When he
and his companion came in last night
they said nothing, but passed through
the bar into the back room. Pettis
was busy and paid little attention to
them. When Ford came in a moment
later he also went through without
saving a word, and Pettis thought he
was going to the toilet room. Pettia
heard no quarreling or talking before
the shot was fired; and Lewis said
nothing as he ran out Of the back
room toward the front door.
