HOW TUE MURDER WAS CONEnTTED-APPE-AR-
ANCE or THE PREMISES.
From the topography Of the ro,ms, from i1e test
mony, ard from al the circumstances connected WA
this NJ s;erious murder, may form theory Of the
manner II which II was committed. slhoCgh We may
not be able to fl upon the ASSASSIN. Il does not
follow that any Of the inmates Of the house were the
as,assirs, or cogrizant OF the fact; because i would
have been the easiest mater n the world for
person TO enter through the street door. By

within half sn hour afterward. From the testimony
Of The inmates Of the house it appears that they re-
tired 70 bed about II o'clock. We suppose that the
house then became quiet, and they must have 81
fallen suddenly into deep sleep-so deep that the

it was the Doctor but after the deed was done, it
might reasonably be supposed that be would 20 down

street The entrance isup broad fight Of stone steps
the basement being a half story above ground. The
entrance through the street door is into long hell with
two large psrors the right hand, connected by fold

hall running up half story toward the rear wall and

top Of the stairs at the len hand is the door Of the
Doctor room in which the key was found on the out
side Tbs was his sitting room-hs bed was m The
font room ard passage leads from one room to the
other The door Of the room opens from the post
farthest from the stair and swings around into the
room in such a manner that in entering you must 90

tered with blood about 1--WE feet high in such a way
as to Indicate that pOuted from wound and at the

that the Doctor after finishing his supper, came home,

That the assassin, whether he followed the Doctor
home or not entered the room and approached hs
victim with rope, with which he attempted to choke

powerful resolue man in fun health, the villain found
that he could not accomplish his purpose in tina.

mn and crapplcd with his assaliant, and a.
this moment he might have received the
cut on rs hand or nose, from Which the
blood came upon the deck. Finding nat it was
to be struggle for lie he exeed his strength rushed
the murderer back into the corner of the room by the
entrance door and there received the two fatal stabs
in the neck-one Of which separated the jugular.
Thee blows were on the left side Of the neck BY the
rght hand Of the essaisnt, and struck while
both were standing. A. the murdered mau
reeed, the blood spurted, and at the same
time the ASSASSIN struck at his heart an
upward or lunging stroke, and another downward,

he fell close by the door; there he died there b. was
found by the boy next mouing-the gas still burning

To the least II ia one Of the moe, mysterious of all
the ny .erous murders Of this prolific age Of slaughter;
and the murder il not the only mystery: the secret
marriage and the difficulty of identifying the murdered
man as the married one, is equally mysterious. Still

act IN the great drama Of the garroters.
