home.
“Aaron French was an Invalid anil Sterns Fisher and James Lewis, took turns every other day calling at the home to aid in caring for him. One day when Fisher called, Hubbard and his wife fifti from the bouSe, telYing Fisher that during the night relatives had come from St. Louis and that thi French family had left with them. “F’isher thought it strange that French in his weakened condition would be taken on a long journey, hut
.took no action.
“Later Bails was a guest of thi Hubbards, and was never seen alivi again. In the following spring, hi; body was found near here and Hub bard was arrested as the slayer. Hi.*
