According to her testimony, the report

He kept up the noise, as well as his

a soft drink parlor. The entire affair
is beati summed up In Ihu words ot
the Justice, Angus Stewart, who said:
"It, is quite evident that some per
son or persons shot Charles Anderson,
but there Is not sufficient evidence here
to connect the defendants with the
ciime, and ' furthermore, "they"" have
succeeded In establishing a perfect
alibi;" : ' '
The defendants took the stand "in
their own behalf and disowned any
knowledge of the crime and gave a de
tailed statement of how they occupied
! their time during the entire afternoon.

shooting took place.
They also were able to furnish mim
