Governor Small, even if all of the tes-

The committee first must pass upon
this question before determining it's

take the view advanced by Beck, that
would end the hearing and a speedy
report would be made to the senate.
On the other hand, should the COM

Norris standing in the anteroom and
when she told him her mission he -ul

moment Cnipps was lying dead in
the private office. Rodgers testified
he had been told by H H. Rains that
Norris had remarked, i've killed me
