 According to the testimony in the case, Daniels, with other officers, were in a car in front of a negro store at Dora early in the evening when Mrs. Ballenger, who residence was near the store, was found dead by her children on the front lawn some time later.

 Petition l. c. 0.
 Tt was stated by several railroad attorneys that they were preparing a petition to the interstate commerce commission seeking to overrule the order of the Alabama commission In this case. Tn reply to my question as to whether the rates would be- come effective pending the outcome of such appeal, the railroad attor- neys expressed most positively their opinion that the railroads would not put into effect the reduced rates ordered by the commission but would seek an injunction from the United states district court restraining the commission from putting this order into effect.
 "It was tho opinion of other state commissioners and people who are in position to Judge of the probable action of the railroads that they cer- tainly would not allow the order of the commission in this case to be- come operative but would exhaust every resource in their power to pre- vent the reduction ordered by the commission"
