tlm and shouted:
"Damn you, I told you I would get
even with you!"
At the oollce station Williams told a
rambling story about some colored wo
man whom he raid had slandered him
and whom Green had protected. He
said he had asked Green "to get after"
the woman and that Green had refused.
Williams adled that he was not sorry
for what he had done; that Green had
"got what he Deserved."
""I may not "be Justified by society."
aald Williams, "but I am In the sight of
God, and am wllltngr le-gw-te- the elec
