TO think IL over, I was convinced
she wasn't married. When she

At this point the officers were
obliged TO inform Mrs. Perkins
of the tragic end of this unheed-
full girl.
The long trail of the slayer of
the now identified girl turned
800 miles norteast into Alabama.

before the Washington County
officers arrived in Jasper. Ham,

used TO run around with Imo-

in town knew II. Maybe he can
tell You what you want to
know"
Crouch looked curiously at
the man, who, from his appear.
ance. could be no other than the
fugitive he had sought.
"Why did you kill the girl ."
the sheriff shot at him.
"Well-I took her for a row
on the lake and then I suggested
IA swim. Grabbing n willow
streamer I wound IL around her
neck and squeezed II until she
stopped threshing about. When
| was sure she was dead, I found
some wire and chunk az con-
crete and wired her up. Then I
threw her nude body over

these "Oilite" bearings provided their own

Today almost every American-built weapon
is made in larger quantity, at a saving of time
and material, and functions better in action
because it-contains from one to scores of pre-
