located between Randall & Evans

grabbed for something, his finger
catching between the outside frame
of the transom and the jamb OF the

blood. AS he lay on the floor he
suffered intensely and his means were
audible to the crowd which had
gathered outside.

being none could be located. At this
moment DR.. w. ]. Gree, county
