der. Mr.. Mott said. according to the
stories told by several OF the unknown
witnesses who have been examined. but
he added that there had been other and
remote evidence from that given by Mrs.
Gibson to the effect that two cars stood
In the lane and that she had recognized
one because Of certain peculiarities OF
construction.
Then one reporter asked Mr.. Mott IL
he had been working on the trail of a
person or persons who might have acted
as agents before the crime by handing
back and forth certain information be-
tween principals in the case. AS to this
Mr. Mott was rather uncommunicative
and would make no direct reply. Then
the quizzing turned back TO the matter
of the automobiles as follows
What is the possibility that the one
car in question will be brought In here
shortly or before night, or that At has

Women. Soon I heard one shot and the
terrified cry of another woman-that of
Mrs. Mills, am sure. crying oh. please

more shots.

objects sobbing as though her heart
would break.
II did not know until Saturday morn

sobbing was beneath the crabapple tree
II was evidently she who closed the
eyelids of the minister fact that has
been much commented on.

II will be noted that Mrs. Gibson

amount to much. but they do raise a
point, whether the woman is as partic-

essary in a witness in murder case.
While the language of the statement
has literary flavor hardly to be eX-
pected of a farm woman. and the state
mont may have been polished a little
before publication. it is a fact that Mrs.
Gibson talks much that way. She is
never at a loss for a word. and ninety
