the end OF 1t was some putty sticking, the muzze
having been rested on the putty of the window,
which was considerably indented The muzze OF
the gun was also found TO exactly fit in the inden-
tatlon made. Ga the morning after the murder
there were foot prints under the window, of aperson
in his stocking feet, impressed IN the soft clay.
pair Of stockings belonging TO the accused was
found in his house, the bottoms covered with this
same clay, although he at first denied having worn
any stockings during the summer. lie was also
discovered throwing away some yellow paper,
which was found TO be similar TO that of part of
the waddng found in the Office beside the deceased
and number of shot was found in his house, of
the same size and description as those with which
the murder was committed.

The cholera at the elms house continues to
spread slowly but not fatally, which the doctors

cea their condition, they being seldom brought

had been ~, and the deaths 3d. One had been
cured, and "a remained under treatment. There
has been but case IN the city, and taat was OF
pauper from the aims house, who had run away,
but on discovering his condition was sent back
