THE WEEKLY STAR

Monday, and for the best reason in the world,
she was dead a week before"
Dead What do you mean 1''
"What do / mean And have you forgot
that you broke her leg on the Troy road, and
that so badly that We had 10 blow her brains
out'"
You don't mean to swindIe me by any such
game, do you ,"
"swindle, ID bit of it. You killed the
mare. and can prove it."
WHO by ,"
Your own nsighbor, Skerrctt Of Brook
lyn."
And what does he know about IL -
Just what you told him, and that is, that
you killed the mare while trying her speed on
the Troy road"
Havens could hear no more, but rusbed for
the police Office, where he swore out war
rant against Mccall for swindling Ii uas
issued by Justice Parsons. But as "Mae'
proved by Skerrett that the complainant ad-
mitted that he killed the mare on tho 5th Of
December, of course he could not have pur-
chased her on Monday, the 10th Verdict for
the defendant. Mr.. Havens eft for New York
on Wednesday night, in the Manhattan lie
was accompanied by Skerrctt. On going for
ward, after tea, he saw a grey mare that led
to the following dialogue -
Who s bob tailed mare lie that, Skerrett 7''
Mine"
POssibie-where did you get her !''
Bought her from Mccall She is not quite
as good looking as the one wanted, but
think she is full as speedy"
What did you give ,"
Four hundred dollars"
Say no mOre-let's drink"
Skerrett Obeyed orders and went in and took
"a little something warm" Hayens paid for
1t. AS he did so, a bystander thought ho
uttered an imprecstion about a certain id
scoundrel in Albany. Wonder if he meant
Mccall. We will write to Brooklyn and ind
