He went to the same people whom he had seen before and offered them money to kep the workmen embittered. From this it was only a step for his hatred to descend to the idea of inJuring Lit tie bodily. Finally he bribed man to "do'' him.
 Jaei Dence saved him the first time. She happened to come behind Little just as a man stepped from a hiding place to shoot him. and she caught his assailant and held him for the police.
