raped her and strangled her to death with three strands of copper
wire which were deeply imbedded in her throat when her body was dis-
covered. That night he dragged the corpse to a refuse pile behind
the stables of the Ivins house and the next morning pretended to dis
cover it when he went outside to attend to some shores, Mrs. Hollis-
ter had left her house which was near that of the Ivins the previous
