ntil midnight if the prosecutrix did
ot get out and walk with him down
he road to find a place to turn the
ar around. It was at this time that
he younger girl started to walk back
o the city. John Gossett followed
er, the two returning to the car in
ive or ten minutes, according to the
estimony. When they got back to
he car Kenneth is said to have told
hem he was not yet ready to go
ack. The younger girl started to
t'alk home again and went a short
istance down the road out of sight of
he automobile. John Gossett followd.
They remained away 15 or 20
ninutes. Returning to the car, the
irosocutrir came running to meet
hem, crying, and told the other girl,
He has 'ruined me."
The prosecutrix testified that Kenicth
Gossett had cursed her and held
ler in the car. She swore she resisted
him until she was exhausted. She
s subject to spells and she testified
hat she became so frightened that
>ne of these spells came on during
he struggle and she became unconicious.
In fighting her alleged aslailant
she tore her clothing, her waist
:ame from under her belt and her hat
nas crushed. She cried all the way
jack to Abbeville, and told her sister
what had happened as soon as she got

state. The Gossett boys were taken
to Anderson when they were arrested
March 17. The young women were
also taken there to identify the boys,

when she walked into the jail and
came face to face with Kenneth fZna
sett. Sheriff Sanders said Kenneth
Gossett told him in the presence of
three other officers that "he took the
girl* out for this purpose and thought
if thi girl would go riding with him
that she was crooked."

question if he had put his hands on
the girl, said of course he had, when
he went out for the purpose he did.

Perhaps you trave womered where
the wax-facte&^queeiM ^lo|Re from ,
can be satisfied by seeing the new P;1
Prizma Master Picture entitled 11
"Model Girls" which will be shown at
the Rialto Theatre to-day. J
This new Prizma picture in natural
colors shows the making of a wax u<
model from the time the sculptor re- ^
produces the form from living models ^
until it is tinaiiy clothed and placed '
in position for its tireless pose. It
shows in all its colors how the form ^
is moulded, how the hair is put in c<
place, how the eyes are selected to ^
"match the gown, and how the eye- ^
brows and lashes are inserted. The E
tinting of the face is particularly in- 8<
teresting because the Prizma process e
makes it possible for the audience to 81
watch the color actually grow on the h
face of this "queen" of the shop win- tl
dow. tl
Live models are not forgotten, how- t<
ever, and several colorful scenes of 1<
