Haskell yesterday refused to honor

f. f. Ray Of Woodward, who was
the fall guy" in the case was here
to urge the granting of the requisi-
tion, and told his story. He had
gone to Little Rock at Beattie's re-
quest, according to his story merely
to lend an air of respectability in the
matter. He was to take along con-
it in a bank there, so that he could
show the certificate of deposit as an
evidence of being solid citizen.
Just at the last minute,
however, the members OF the gang
found that they did not have quite
enough money to put the proposition
through and induced Ray to loan
them $500 from his roll
Beattie was the sprinter whom
Ray and his friends We're backing
Toward the finish of the race he fell
and blood seemed to be streaming
from his mouth and nostrils. OF
course the other fellow won the
race. Beattie's partners expressed a
fear that he had ruptured a blood
vessel and declared that he was IN a
very serious condition, but when
Ray suggested a doctor, they decid-
ed that 1t was not necessary. They
told him. however that he had bet
ter take Beattie home at once and
he did so not realizing until later
