the two had on leaving was ruled out

County Treasurer J. B. Marshall testi-
fed that he was standing beside Miss
Elizabeth Ayres in the court room when
she was shot. He thought the girl was
merely frightened. She left the court
room una assisted, but died at her home

required To bandage Hacks crippled
limb in such a way that the Lion
might make bluff at engaging in

And it isn't quite clear how
