such a declaration. A few words
were passed when, according to
the preacher and several other
witnesses, Krimminger pulled his

at all. The search made by the

in hi pocket. - Hi excuse for this
finding was that he had been
cleaning up the pistol and had
just put it into his pocket before
, the police arrived.
The charges upon which Krim
minger is held is assault with a
deadly weapon and carrying a
concealed weapon.
