Pflk Graham got together a crowd o

scene of the crime to co-operate witl

Magistrate McElveeu had gotten ii]

he was brought quietly into town b;
a different road from that taken b'

McElveea and his party. The ne

(coolness of Magistrate McElveen
! whose determination to let the lav

I | weeks respite, at least.
The scene <?f the crime was nea
Bethel school house, just ttiis sub
of the Clarendon line. As we understand
it, the little girl, the victin

tempt, lives in Clarendon countv

sister was unwell and so the iittl
