Judge Melton, ruling with the state, permitted Polk to testify that it was only on rkre occasions, when he was ill or out of town, that warrants went through without him signing them first. Under cross examination, Polk jalso testified Huddlestons character and reputation for honesty were good. The state accused the gray-haired lumberman of forging the name of a neighbor to a county warrant for $83.72. He denied the charge. Circuit Judge Oakley W.

Norma Lee Cook, 13, a seventh grader, tasted tears as she told about how four-year old Leland Ray Tate started the blaze in another room, while playing with matches.

The flames leveled the four-room frame house of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Tate, causing $2,000 damage. "I got them all out, but they dont have any clothes or furniture left, Norma choked out. I cant face their mother or father.

I did all I could do. Norma tended Anna Paulette, 6, Leland Ray. Loretta, 3, and Paul 12 months, while their parents were attending a movie. Suddenly Leland Ray rushed in and said the house was on fire, she continued. "I didnt pay much attention.

He grabbed me again and said again, The house is on fire. She put the baby in a chair, walked into the adjoining room and saw a clothes closet blazing. She made two trips to get the children to safety, as the flames shot through the roof. Firemen could do little to save the structure.
