early on the morning of March 3, Frank
Burruss, who was employed as a team
ster on the farm, was sentenced to ten

he had no intention of assaulting Lums-
den, intending only to rob him, but that
when Lumsden awoke he attacked Bur-
russ and a fight followed, Lumsden
being terribly beaten. Burruss is thir-
.y-two years old and has a wife and
