his family were taking supperin gallery Of
his house. He sat with his back towards the
gsrden gate, which was seventeen yards dis
tant, his wife opposite him, his children on
either side, and guest on his left. Suddealy
Cash was seen at the gate, the report OF

The signs near about the gate showed that the
murderer had been watching the movements OF
| his victim.
