Her tale of the night of terror at the Caldwell ranch which followed the verdict ofa district court jury in favor of the dead rancher and against the mysterious “J.C. R.,” who is seeking to establish his identity as Caldwell’s long lost. son, was a ‘sen- sational feature of the hearing. ‘Cald- well, she declared, upon his. return from court, loaded every gun in the house and sharpened every available knife, and throughout the night, Miss Croy testified, he remained awake and on, guard, fearing that indignant neighbors, whd -had supported the claims. of. “J, (C.-R.,” might make an attack op the ranch.
