When the lawyers recently gathered

way to grief. and admitted that he
would rather choose death. He took
from his stocking the razor and passed

The expected opposition of the family
of John Reeves to the agreement that
Vondermiller should get twelve-year

the opinion that Nondermiliers Offend

the prisoner, in which the wishes Of his
family or the family of the dead man
had no part.
