The Court instructs the jury that
in order to convict the accused as
charged in the Indictment, the evi-
dence must not only be consistent with
the guilt of the accused, but it must
be inconsistent with every reasonable
hypothesis of the innocence of the
accused, and if said evidence is con-
sstent with any reasonable hypothe-
sis of his innocence, then they must
find him not guilty.

General Mobile found it necessary

that, If they landed, they could not

One of his attackers, Kephart
declared, was of gigantic build from
the waist up, but had what he
termed "under.developed legs" He

"voice" that police have built up
their theory.

told the banker was out, said "all
right, I'll see him when he gets
in"
It VISA also learned that wilson's
assailant was seen by another man,
whose name was not diVulged.

at a loss to account for the motive
behind the kidnapping, unless it could
have been for the purpose of holding
the banker for ransom.
