while in bed at her home Monday
night. Mrs. Bickerssaff, at Meth

talk.
A water-soaked pocketbook be-
longing to Mrs. Bickestaff and con-
taining railroad passes and other

did the beating, someone who knew
that a son, Forrest, slept upstairs.
and that the husband was at work.
Supervisor OF Detectives Michael

who said he heard nothing during
the night.
