was asked. t
"I couldn't say whether I was or

Prevost replied. He declared that he

The defense questioned him con

"Is this the revolver which LJoyd
gave you to take home and fit with
bullets?" the defense questioned.
"I have not had time- to go into the

testimony of Stanley Prevost Tues
day, was the boy who felt of the gun
in his pocket. He told the jury that
the first and second times he appeared
in the grand Jury probe he held
back the truth, but on the third oc
casion he came through. He testified
when questioned by Judge Lamb that
he was a little excited at the secret
hearing and admitted that he felt
