who lives near the home. When she
demurred he became so insistent she
went to humor him. When she re-
turned home sometime later he could
not befound andafter adiligent search
the body was located suspended from
the roof Of a coal shed at the real Of
the lot. 1t was evident that he had
been dead but a few minutes when
the body was located.
That the act was ~premeditated was
evident from two letters that were
found later in the day. One addressed
to Mrs. Ankrom was dated Sunday,
April 23rd, and gave her instructions
how to handle the estate. The other
dated Wednesday, was addressed to
M. S. Bush, Of Mexico, who was given
