Strange to us are all your ways.

Whirling snowflakes fill the air
On you there is no relying:

At the hearing today the automobile cur- tains were produced and H. E. Garber and Edward Beasley, garage men, testi- fled that when the machine was driven in their garage on the morning after the shooting all of the holes in the curtains were pointing inward. indicating that the punctures were made by bullets fired from outside.
