youths, stopped at the home OF MIR.
Jones shortly before noon. One OF tue
boys climbed down from the seat and
knocked at the dQnr, Pointing TO the
wagon, he told Mrs. Jones that there
vas q sick man in the wagon that
needed a doctor Meanwhile the other
negro was attempting to assist the man
from the wagon. When he touched the
ground the man dropped to his knees
and was dead in moment. The two
negroes then carried the body OF the
dead mau into the house and, mount
ing upon their wagon, lashed the horse,
and we're out OF sight before the as
