She said:

Mrs. Lane didn't stop there.
She went to the home of Mrs.
Agnes Gill and related the gossip

Davis as saying:
"We'H have to do something

her story of the gossip she passed

night of May 13 when the Black
LegionnaireS took Poole out to q
suburban road and riddled him
with bullets.
Along the wall of the court
