a ark which appeared to be very heavy. The thought of
her miring son erased her mind, and she rushed out of the

She at once went up to him and said, " What have you
done with that bundle?" Ile replied, .• I near carried a
bundle. A navvy man has jest gone down there with one."
She, however, asked • gentleman cooling from the direction
Watruted„ and he replied that he had met no eas. She then
vest up to the man and aired hold of him, " maybe, I shall
knew you again. If anything is ever found in the river et
that spot I shall bear witnees against you." She also took
l notice of the other man, did alio a witaresamed
eMlimeo u tar
as
Oa the following day she pointed Dickinson mass
the man, and she again swore most peatively to him at the
inquest ; she could not, however, identify Toaster as the
other man, but that may be accounted fur by the feet that he
had sines shaved off hie whiskers. At the precis spot where
these men were suffer d to throw the bundle into the river

was them, but he could not say where he was that evssiag.

of the paw, the animas dews committing most severe, but
providentially not deadly wounds upon their person., after
