Citizens Angry As a result, feeling ran high and Constable Lonnie Jackson and Rur al Policeman B. E. Sturgill spirited Rose away from the Dunn hospital to the county jail for fear that ci tizens might take the law into theh own hands. There was such talk.

They sounded as though they meant it, too. “It was the most cold-blooded, the most deliberate, the most cal culated and premeditated crime I have ever come across in all my long years as an officer,” declared Constable Jackson. He said Rose showed no remorse at all: only regret that he didn’t kill all three of them and deter mination to finish the job at the first opportunity.
