just little further up the track and
they continued their journey.
When they reached The crossing Of

strange negro told Massey that there
wasn't any automobile around and
that he wanted him to file the hand

Il didn't come here for that" Mas
sey exclaimed. and the negro pulled
a big revolver from his pocket say
ing, Well We wiz zee whether you
will or not" and roked Massey in
the side with the gun.
Without further remonstrances
Massey got to work and after time
the handouts were off the men. The
two men hal been handcuffed to

them had been broken. The hand
cuff on the white man was on his
