memory Of the people of this locality
On July s, 1917, Musselman went to
the home OF N. A. Doyle where he shot
to death Miss Opal Harmeson, sister
of Mrs. Doyle, without warning and in
cold blood. Another such brutal muir
der was never committed in this coun-
ty. With the case before the court a

temptation to express the regret that

excusable. providing Musselman had
