foul crime is the report that has
leaked out. T. A,Aana
The prisoner has not been at All
talkative since his Incarceration
and has possessed the serenity of
one promised acquittal. Tho silence
maintained by him from tho time
he was arrested on suspicion of be-

murder has caused many to think

fact that none OF the money Little
Is supposed to have gotten the
night OF the murders has ever bee
found leads the officers to believe
his rapacious partners will come to
his aid on the day he is tried
Attorney Wilson of Lebanon, who
will defend Little could not be
reached by wire today, so this ru-
NOR has not been confirmed, but
it is well known fact. that a party
of strangers were seen near Hurley
several months ago, trying to buy
a large portion OF the undeveloped
coal lands in Buchanan county, and
who, 1t is claimed dickered with
Aunt Betty Justls but could not
agree with her on terms. It is
feared by many who remember the
visit of the strange coal land dea-
lers that they will spirit Little
away from the Grundy jail under
the preteXt that they are going to
lynch him Extra precaution has
bee1 hke1 to guard the Jail at
Grundy, and only the witnesses
will be admitted to the court room

row 1t is expected that the trial
Will last several days. The whole
day tomorrow will be consumed In
arraigning Little on seven counts,
and in selecting the jury.
