of Mrs. Maybee and her daughter, Tappan
says: "My brother was in the barn on the

can go to the house and get the -money.'
Annie opened the barn doer about two feet
wide. When She stepped in John grabbed
her by the right 'arm' and threw her down,.
I was on the floor about three feet froth
-where he graboed her. He held her by the
right wrist, puthiaknee upon her -left arm,-.
