sitting in the front seat beside Quinn
and was ioshipg Richardson over her
shoulder. They had got well into the
valley when Richardson, who was be-
coming madden every minute, reached
over and ierked her out of the front
seat into his lap and commenced to
beat her. According to the story, he
had badly injured the woman's hip on
the occasion of a previous beating and
she was still very lame.

Quinn, who did not believe that he was
the gentleman thus referred to, kept
on driving. When Richardson 8 big fist
