and when she learned that she had not,
she asked Mrs. Buchanan to aid in
searching for her. Mrs. buchanan and
son, Sam, went to the Lane home at
once, and Mrs. Lane was found in the
field, near death. Her throat was cut.
supposedly with knife she took from
the cupboard, altho no knife could be

ter and a son, 6 years old, survive.
