bull, lis that the contemplated i'm
provements will be continued and
that plans will also be adopted to
make settlement in this region less

And that portion dealing with the uncanny and sordid description of how the body of the murdered man was removed from the taxi and taken from the road where they endeavored to conceal 1t and their crime was interrupted with sudden, loud and heavy rapping on the door in the rear of the courtroom which had an effect upon the entire audience that was easily perceptible It was the foreman of previous jury that had agreed upon 0 verdict which it wanted the court to receive. The jury sitting on the Curry case was re- cessed and excused from the court room for a few minutes while the court heard the verdict from the other jury
 Probably one of the most pathetic scenes of the entire procedure is wit messed when Curry's little sister comes into the room and sits down beside him. Her sobs and emotions are ir- repressible at times and she leaves the scene.
