from Judge Emory Speer dealing en-
tirely with these two national acts.

see and to know how deeply and pro
foundly in earnest our government is

laws. They are made for the saliva

ty on some business and while there

This is the Mr.. Willingham who
killed his brother a few years ago
near Cuba, after which he left HIS
home and moved with his family to

his own life.
Mr.. Willingham left wife and
several children and was always a
man highly respected in that section
He died at the home of Joe Taylor,
two miles from Cuba.

er. Foster Willingham about 5
O'Clock on the morning OF August

family trouble. James Willingham
and wife and Foster Willingham
slept in the same room. The weapon
used was a shot gun and he was shot
through the nipple while in bed. A
pistol was found by the side OF Fos-
ter Willingham and the facts that

that James Willingham fred the shot
to save HIS life. After the shooting

week when he returned ILL., II Is
said that he had been living in the
edge of Galloway county In the
