He was plainly dressed. Soon he returned

friend, DIR. BAssETT, had taken l;erth for him.
He was shown to his BERTH During the day
he changed his clothes frequently, and was al

then threw hat and coat INFO the lake, and raised
the alarm that the Doctor was drowned. His

to his arrest He was fully Identified in De-
