plause and laughter yesterday

verbal tilt with State's Attorney
N Vernon Hawthorne.
Hawthorne af that time referred
to a s atement by Lancaster that
s:me of the letters from Clark-
and Mrs. Keitn-MlUer to him had
disappeared.
"The state has been accused of
concealing those letters." the
prosecutor sa:d. "The state has
never seen them."
"The defense has made no ac-
cusation.” Carson retorted “but
does the state wish to plead not
guilty anyway."

J to extend a small neighborhood

men in an automobile who fired m
him as he stood in from of his
saloon.
Connell p'licc said had under-

saloon to the sidewalk to obtain a
breath of fresh air. A moment later
a large automobile rolled up.
