Attendants of the jail and the state's attorney, spying on them, saw them caressing one another dnd weeping. This, the state's attorney said, contradicted the contention of Mrs., Sweetin that there had been no lgve affair, and from then on he was convinced that she was implicated.

Tells of Past Life Hight spoke freely of his past life, saying that he was a son of the owner of the once famous Hight race horse stable and farm in John- son county, Tilinois, but that he him- self had not been active in horse racing.
