jnired seven columns of small

iforty-one counties in the state,

forty-one comities showed that
the ten months there had been
Homicides an average of five
micides for each of the coun¬
is covered and about one homi

A feature of the reports, care

Ljoutof ten the homicide was
Immitted by a negro and in a
■jority of the cases both slain

ill enough to keep in mind which
