meet up with a stuffed camel
particularly a stuffed camel
sitting down. Suppose that gas

Such supposing you may
call far-fetched. In this country
there are more than 100000

100000 pumps are located
along the highways which crisis

to every motorist the ultimate

Actually, the distance between
stuffed camels sitting down
is no longer than the stride of
the oil industry from the FIVE

Mrs. Nosler, was not the cause of
their separation. Since the di-
vorce in 1929. she said. she and
Ord had continued to be friends,
and their son had spent time with
both.
In his confession, signed before
Knowles, Bjorklund and Deputy
Sheriff Lyle Lathrop, Ord agreed
he had gone a week ago to the
Nosler home at the edge of Nc
Chord field, 800 yards off the
highway near the Blue Pheasant
inn.
DENIES SETTING FIRE
When he went there again Fri
day night to congratulate"
Nosler for marrying the woman,
Ord confessed he carried his gun,
an old Eibar-Espana, thinking
there might be trouble.
His story differed in only a
few respects from the signed
statements of Mrs. Nosler and
Pomeroy, taken at the hospitals
the night of the crime.
He did deny fatty that he pour
ed gasoline over the still living
body of Nosler and set fire to it.
Mrs. Nosler said she saw him
pour the oil, and the sheriff's

Ord said he hadn't known Mrs.
Nosler was shot until he had taken
her to his home. He then took
her to the hospital, he said, drove
off and threw the gun away and
went back. On his return he was
arrested.
The battered. blood-covered gun
was found Saturday where he
threw it, at 315 So. Saith St, by

he could keep the gun.
