’ @ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1928 Sock , Thought He Got Even By CHARLES E. BAXTER Dobb was still standing with the revolver in his hand, paralyzed with terror, when the neighbors found hima, Leeson was lying hud- died up on the seat of his rig, dead, : bullet from Dobb's weapon in his eart. Sitting, crouching, rather than lying, he was huddled over the front of the vehicle, and his hands clutched the reins tightly, as if they had contracted spasmodically the moment of his death, And there stood Dobb, It was a sparsely settled agricul- tural community. The nearest neighbor was a quarter of a mile away—old Evan Pim, It was Pim and his sons, Charles and Ewart, who found Dobb standing so stupid- , ly there. It was all they could do to induce him to return Insige his house. There Dobb remained in a sort of trance, “I’m glad,” was all that he would say. “I'm glad.” Nobody was sorry for Leeson. Leeson was a notorious money- lender. He had half the townshj in pawn, for times were bad ani the land was stubborn. He had had Dobb at his mercy and was ‘going to foreclose. Dobb had written him a note daring him to come and see him, A foolish note, and Leeson, who was no coward, had taken up the challenge, Leeson was a nervous, excitable man with a chronic heart complaint and a poor digestion. Half his cruelties were the result of this indigestion. He would fly up in the alr at the least thing. He had immediately’ harnessed his horses and driven over to the Dobb place. « Mrs, Dobb had come out and begged Leeson to return. Leeson had not said a word, but sat in the rig, waiting for Dobb. Dobb burst from the house, abused Leeson, and opened fire on hin. He had fired six times, and only the single bullet had found its mark. Leeson had died without a word, and it looked very bad, indeed, for Dobb. It was a hanging state, and the farmer-jurymen, much as they had detested Leeson, were not like- ly to exculpate Dobb. Then there was Dobb's challenge. That was the worst thing of all. premeditation. the inquest. The courtroom was packed, The minute the judge had taken his place Dobb arose, “I killed him—” he began, “You d—n fool!” whispered his lawyer, tugging at his coat, but in vain, Then, inasmuch as defense was to be temporary insanity, he sat down himself, hoping all would be for the best, and that Dobb would make a clear impression of insanity upon the court. * ‘ “I killed him,” shouted Dobb. “He was going to sell me up and turn me and mine out into the road to starve—” “Sit down!” called the judge. “You will be heard at the proper time.” time like this,” yelled Dobb. “I want to go to the gallows. I don’t want no palaver. There ain’t no call for it. The man was a skunk, and his time was come. 'That’s all there was to it.” “If you don’t sit down and be 5 silent, you'll be removed,” said the % judge. Dobb was pulled back and the evidence began. It was shown how Dobb was found at the door of his house with the weapon in his hand, The bullet that had been extracted from Leeson’s body fitted it, It looked bad for Dobb. a2 Murchison, the medical examiner, was called. “You performed an autopsy on the body of the de ceased?” asked the judge. “Yes, your honor.” “What, in your opinion, was thé cause of death?” “Heart disease,” replied Murcht- son. “You mean—induced by the biil- let?” “No, heart disease. The strai of the approaching nterview w: probably too much for Leeson. He was dead long before the prisoner's bullet struck him. The horses must have stopped at the door. of their own accord. Dobb fired at a corpse.” Dobb stood up in the midst of the sensation, * “You're a Har,” he howled. “f killed him—darn you, you want to rob me of getting even with a skunk like that! I killed him!” “You ill return a‘verdict fn ac cordance with the evidence,” said the magistrate to the jury. A “I killed him,” whimpered Dob! as his wife led him away.
