climbed to the witness chair. Far
in the room man stood up to get a
better view. and deputy sheriff
shouted: "Sit down." The other
deputies instantly started forward, and
the man took his seat quickly.

Horsley until they understood what

counsel so that he might get clear,
unobstructed view of the witness
stand and for fully five minutes gazed
steadily at Horsley. The latter, how
ever, was giving his attention to the

room and it was not until the first In
