George was charged with'
first degree murder for the
killing of Bliss Chapman, aged
19, at Beebe on August 18;
last. The testimony, which;
required the greater part of
yesterday and a special ses-i

Both George and Chapman
belong to respectable families,
though their own reputations
were said to have been shady,
