was apparently firm in the belief that
he was perfectly justified in shooting
Toliver and his wife to death, and
back of that belief lay his theory that
Toliver had ruined all his chances of
happiness.
Lewis will depend on the "unwrlt-

1t was evident that the murder OF
the Tolivers had been planned for

his wife was as strong as ever. Al

running down his cheeks, he held the
