without establishment and with
strict attention to detail, the negro put
into cold words a tale that made even
the hardened court attendants shudder.
The States witness did not know how
his three companions met up with

after they had the artist a prisoner and
helped carry him to the field where his
life was taken. The ghoulish calm Of
