his father-in-law for help in his dis
tress, and little May went to his
home TO look after his sick wife. and
had room adjoining the sick cham
ber. Either the third or fourth night
after May came to administer to
Newton's sick wife he came to her
room undressed and got in bed with
her, put his hand over her mouth so
that she could not call out, and told
her what he came for. and that IL she
made noise he would kill her

night. with only his God looking on.
Jim Newton. the damnable degene-
rate, accomplished the ruin of little
May Jones, his sister-in-law.
Great God Is there a crime more
deep or a desire more hellish ever
recorded in your record Of the sins OF

Now this same Jim Newton a few
nights after the above record forced
this child in short dresses to accom-
pany him TO a deep railroad cut. and
there again he forced her 10 satisfy
his lustful desires.
