Derby ministering unto the wounds

TEL" Remy cried out In mock
seriousness.
Again Remy read from the dying
statement: Stephenson said he was
sorry, but that he was three degrees
less than a brute. said he was
worse than that
1T guess there's no controversy
about that" Remy declared.

for the purpose of rounding up their
witnesses.
Eph Inman and Ira Holmes, helms
men of the defense craft told Judge
Sparks that their witnesses had been
obliged to travel a considerabled Is
lance, and asked the courts indul-
gence for a half hour.
Judge Sparks acquiesced, but re-
piled: I've ridden about as far as
the witnesses" Sparks, who has
been spending his entire time in No
blesville, went to Rushville, his home
town, Wednesday night to attend a
function given by the Bible class

plans for the seating arrangement
at the banquet.
