took the pelvis and some of the limbs from
the upper well, and threw them into the
vaul, and privy. ] took the ,horsx from

chest, as found. My own impression has
been, that this was not done till after the
second visit Of the officers which was on
Tuesday, but Kingley's testimony shows
that il must have been done sooner. The
perloration Of the thorax had been made by
the knife. At the time Of removing the Wis
cera, on Wednesday, put on kindlings and
made fire in the furnace below, having
frs, poked down the ashes. Some Of the
limbs, | cannot remember which or how
many, were consumed at tina. time. This

The tin box was designed 10 receive the

The bag Of tan brought in on Monday

in the saucer of ink was for making coarse
diagrams on cloth. The bunch of filed
keys had been used long ago by me in
Fruit S, and thrown carelessly by into a
drawer. never examined them, and do
not know whether they would fit any of the
