regard to Q lawsuit fled against Him
by Mr.. Bindly O. Cyrus. When ques-
toned concerning the suit for i've thou
sand dollars against him, Mr.. William
SON said, "I was called by the family
to take charge Of the body Of their

transferred the body to my establish
ment and prepared the body for burial
according to the arrangements made BY
the family. Mr.. Cyrus heard OF the
death and went to the home Of the de-
ceased and tried TO persuade the mother
and father to make Q change and let
him bury the body Of their daughter.
Mr.. Cyrus told the family I had over
charged them and persuaded them to
come to my store with him The father
advised Mr.. Cyrus that I had sent N
Auto for himself and wife and that they
had gone TO my place and had made
selection Of easket and arrangements
for the funeral, but Mr.. Cyrus insisted
tkat the Esther come with him TO my
store, which he did When they came
10 my place some discussion took plaee
concerning the funeral and I ordered
Mr.. Cyrus from my store Aftervard'
the family requested me 10 proceed with
