IN the course of his finding Judge
McJntirc says that whoever fired the
shot in the dark, it doesn't seem un-
natural for him clarence F. Glover to
have believed it to have been Hattie

the doctors. he could not conceive of no
reason for her to do so under the cir

1t was reasonable. i'm the opinion OF
Judge McIntirc. for Glover to suppose

says, it was possible for Glover to have
been mistaken in his conclusion. as his
mind was not entirely clear on account
of the drugs. Further. he says. the
