forehead while on one aide of his face was a long cut extending from below the eye to the chin Henderson claims that he made the wounds but that it was accidental Fearing vengeance he threw the body

been reading trashy novels of the wild west stamp and has shown a desire to emulate the “hero” of these tales The police assert that Henderson accompanied Lockyar and Addison to the woods as he told them but instead of any accident happening to either Henderson tied both children to a tree Addison broke away and ran home It was then it is said that young Lojkyar’s death was accomplished The knife
