In their opinions as 10 whe her death was The result

death resultedir suicide, appears most probable,
tle oct must have been committed with the very
clumsy clasp knife which was found closed npon the
CONNER that the victim must have carefully shut
it after using IT,, then as carefully placed it on the
counter for il does not appear that the SCISSORS 1ond
ia the blood on the oor had been used. Then again,
as 10 blood hat streaned down the breast OF me
body inside the sht outside On the breast OF The
shirt that being perfectly Clean 70 II evident that
the act was committcd while deceased was IN lying
posture and il committed by himself, he must have
snut the knife, and stretched his upw1rd 10 the
edge OF the counter, while he raised himself 70 the
proper attitude, with the other arm. This would
urobably account for the arm which had been ex-
tended to tho counter with the knife, after leaving
he deathy instrument, falling across the breast.
