WOULD TELL STORY
TO THE GRAND JURY

81 hope the grand jury will let me
tell my whole story right from the
start said NJ. ID, Bousman, Sr., the
aged man who Is being held In the
county Jail to answer to the law for
the killing OF Mr. and Mrs. Akers
at Wildervllle month ago.
Bousman maintains tho same
matter-of-fact demeanor that has
marked him since the day he was
brought to town charged with the
Staying OF the old Methodist preacher
and his wife. who were on their way
to Sunday school. At NO time has
he denied the killing, but he still CON
tends that II the grand jury will let
him tell his story 1t will see the un-
fortunate affair from his point OF
view.
"Of course, I suppose that | have
forfeited my right to freedom" said
Mr. Bousman to the Courier this
morning. "I am hoping though that
when this Is settled can still be
placed where can be out of doors.
! tire OF walking around In my little
world here" and the grizzled old
man indicated the corridor surround
ing the steel cages In the county Jail
where he said he got what little ex-
ercise ho was permitted to take. And
II was clear that ho craved tho sun
shine and the out-0f-d0ors and the
closer communion With nature that
had been his all his life, and he had
made up his mind to tell HIS whole
story to the grand jury, which VIII
convene next Monday. He will at
tempt to justify his acts OF that Sun
day morning, and his remarks lndi-
Gated tho hope that, though he had
forfeited right to freedom, he could
still be where II would be better than
treading the narrow cement pavement
Of his present quarters. For Bous-
man does not fully appreciate the
hideous thing he did that morning.
In his narrow world disputes with
neighbors became the big problems
OF life, and he believes that when he
has told his story next week the
grand Jury will not look so harshly
