Bertram, administered q singing re-
buke TO the old man.

uncertain terms for what was de-
scribed as "the most unnecessary, fool
ish and stupid murder" which had ever
come to his attention.
The court told Uncle Jake to let his
experience be q warning to him and to
return to his home In Cubbage Hollow
and there live the remainder OF his
years in peace. He charged the 30
year -old defendant never to take the
law In his own hands again.

atives, Uncle Jake trudged back to the
Jail which had been his abode since
the murder on June 8, and there
knotted his personal belongings into
bag, which he swung over his back.

Jake turned toward his home, l5 miles
back In the mountains south Of here,
and expected to arrive in his mountain
cabin before shutdown today.

ert Keyser, H. b. Strayer and G. A.
