Troopers Use Sticks. The troopers brought riot sticks | into play as the men struck with their fists at the manacled prisoners on the ground. Shell was dragged to his feet and hustled down a lane cleared through the milling crowd. No fur- ther violence developed.

No defense witnesses were offered 'and defense counsel appointed by the | court asked the jury in his closing | | statement to weigh ihe evidence and | bring in an honest verdict. | While the crowd formed a dense | eircle about the front of the court nouse, a police car was quietly pulled' to a side door. Btate troopers wear- ing gas masks and holding nausea bombs and riot guns hustled tne con- | victed pair into the car and drove | rapidly away. Meanwhile, the other | troopers jumped into two luwmobuu| and followed. The prisoners were taken to Richmond by a round-nbouti route. If Your Dentist Hurts You Try DR.
