positively identify the prisoner be-
fore the bar as one Of the two mon

same build as one OF the two men
but that she could not be sure he
was one OF the men. Mrs. Mcvey
said that she could identify the
other man II he was ever APP
pretended as she had had good
look at his face as he was the
first to enter the room.
The states last witness was DR..
n. H. Carr. who was called to
treat the Mcveys after they had
been brought to a local hospital.
Doctor Carr told Of the wouEes OIL
the bodies Of the two victims.
Mrs. Mcvey was struck. by three
bullets according to the. Doctors

right Of the breast bone, and COM
ing out under the right arm enter
ed and lodged in the right arm.

that every method known to the
