Evidently the person who fired the 1 shot ran Immediately, for nothing was seen of him afterwards. He apparently premeditated the deed, for he selected a time when the parents of -the young women were absent froiq. home, and la the dusk of the evening when he would able to escape In the darkness with ease.

Mrs. Handy left her husband at their home In Anderson few weeks ago and returned with her baby to the home of her parents.

and Mrs. J. B. Coffman, at Eleventh and Gharkby streets, Mrs, Russell Handy narrowly escaped being Injured or killed by an unknown man who deliberately fired a shot from a revolver through au window, near -which -the young woman, was sitting. Mrs.

Handy, who was formerly Miss Ora Coffman. Jumped from the window and picking up her young baby, ran to a remote part of the house. She was greatly frightened and remained hidden until the ar- MY LIFE WAS ALL I HAD TO GIVE, "WROTE GIRL REVOLU-TIONIST BEFORE BEING HANGED released. Her father, Hiram Lloyd, who left his wife three years ago, came into play. The evidence Indi-hlmself in the case.

1 It was In connection with the effort to establish the defendants age as 17 yoars that the alleged forged family record came Into play. The evdence Indicated that the record was made by the Lloyd girls grandmother at Marlon, and it was brought here by Hiram Lloyd. Judge Leffler on examining It, Immediately laid It. aside with-the expression' that' alterations had been made In it, and gave It no further consideration. The defendant and both her parents Insisted that she was 17 years old, but other members-of the family bore out the testimony of the sdhool records that she is only a little past her fifteenth birthday.

Throughout the hearing the. Lloyd girl sat with her eyes fixed on the Boor In front of her, rarely looking up In answer to the questions which were propounded. She explained her absence from the John Doggett trial, for which she Is now serving a Jail sentence, by saying at first that she did. not. want to appear in court and answer questions regarding the disgusting details of the alleged crimes, but later she told the court that she went away because two strange men had come to her- home and oftered her money not to appear against Dog- gett.

Sha never saw tha men before or since, she said, and failed to receive the money which was promised. Her testimony was not calculated to strengthen her case, and the fact that her mother, with whom she has been living, had been fined for intoxication and association, did not hdd to the merits of her contention. Judge Leffler will probably Insist on a disposition of the case fgalnst Kehlenbeck at an early date in order that the Lloyd girls case may also be. disposed of. (Hy Hcrt ppu-Mrltae lrrss Anorlstioa.)

There haa ben aa erasure of all those dates. It Is easy to see where the changes have beea made, evea -with the naked eye. With this declaration' Judge Leffler. la the Circuit court this morning cast aside what might have proven the clinching evidence 'that ''Ethel Lloyd, who was under trial for Incorrigibility, was more than years' of age and therefore not amenable to the Juvenile punishment statute- Judge Lefllert after he had heard tbexevldeice of more than a dozen witnesses, and had closely questioned the girl herself, sent her back to jail, pending the trial of saloonist Henry Kehlenbeck, who Is charged with selling (Iquor to Miss Lloyd, a minor.

It' developed during the trial that Kehlenbecks case, which has been pending forpeveral weeks In the city court, has never been disposed of. and Judge Leflter will hold the Lloyd glrhere as a witness against him. In her testimony today she said that she and a woman companion had gone to theKehlsnbeck saloon and bought beer, no questions being asked as to their ages. They not only bought the beer In glasses, bat took pitcher of It away with them, she and. the offset of drinkings It was the direct cause of the Lloyd girl being.
