short time before Mrs Compton left
her House. She spoke to Miss Allen
about the threat later on and Miss
Allen reioined: she may wreck the
school but she can't ruin Mr.. Rich
mond."
Witness did not speak to anyone
else about it.. Later Mrs. Lewis stat
ed the threat was made before the
second meeting; there was no trou-
BILE at the first meeting except that
Mrs. Compton was very insistent re-
garding the program, into which she
wished to put some Hawaiian music,
but Mrs. Lewis objected to this as
she thought the music should be OF
higher standard than that She
was certain that the threat was made
between the first and second meet
ings because she had finished her
PERIOD and after Mrs. Compton had
spoken with Mr.. Richmond she turn
ed to witness and said 1--WE don't
want any music for the Shakesperian
work"
Mrs. Lewis then stated that the
threat was made before Mrs. Compton
left her house and that the first meet
ing was held after, before she left,
which brought the enquiry from
Judge Stanley: "How did this threat
come to be made in your house
them"
Mrs. Lewis then contradicted her
self, explaining that the threat was
made before the first meeting, not
after it.
Mrs. Compton DietatoriaI.
There was no trouble before the
first meeting that she knew of, ex-
cept a general desire on the part of
Mrs. Compton to control most things.
Mrs. Compton's manner in asking for
the program of the first meeting was
very dictatorial. Witness denied ever
remarking to Mrs. Compton that Mr..
Richmond and the Deyos fought like
cats and dogs, but was certain that
before Mrs. Compton left her house
she mrs Compton) said to witness
'11l fix you'll" She asked Mrs. Comp
ton to leave her house because they
had nothing in common.
When cross-eXamined by Mrs
Compton witness did not remember
