nous letter which Barnett re-
ceived following the whipping. Bar

his four assailants. The State con-
tended that the anonymous letter
was written on a typewriter in the
dentists's office. Mrs. Eva Nc
Michael, stenographer, Unidentified
the letter as one she had written
on a typewriter in his office, and
A. H. Delaney, typewriter expert
testified that it was his belief that
the anonymous letter was written
on the same typewriter.

Americas, was the first witness
called for the state after the jury
had been completed.
He told how a man had called
him from his place Of business the

with the man and got into an auto
mobile in which were two other
men, he said. He declared that DR..

Tbs men grabbed him, Barnett
said, and put handouts on him.
They took him to point near the
end of the Vineville street car line

had failed to provide for his FAM
lily and beaten his children had
whipped him. lis asserted that DIR.
Marlborough was the man who
welded the lash while two men
held slnim to the graand and a third
held the handouts.
Barnett today told his story by
answers to a long series of uues-
tons instead of relating it in one
narrative as in the trial of DR.. Var
brough on the charge of rioting
in connection with the floggigng
of R. F. Mills recently. Solicitor
Moore brought out the story point
by point and on cross examination
the same method was followed by
the defense.
r. A. Hartley again told Of his
being lectured once and whipped
once by the flogging band. DR..
Marlborough was member of the
party that lectured him, he testified
They had planned to whip him, but
decided he was to weak. He could
not say whether the dentist was
member of the party that actual
ly whipped him, he said.
