ly. Her body was frozen into the ice under
her. 1t was q tedious storm, 4 a man
could hardly have seen well enough to place
the body there that night withouta lantern.
At eleven o'clock it was starlight It might
have been lone after that hour without q
light. The wood was so ingeniously placed
that it seemed to have been tipped over &C.
cidentally by the wind. But it must have
been laid in by hand. The body was lying
On the back, face turned over to the right,
the left arm turned up and back and the
hand resting on the cheek the dress, hoop
skirt and balmoral skirt were hutched up
under the arms, as if the person carrying
the body had taken it under the arm, on his
hip. The arrangement of the clothing was
such as would have been necessarily pro-
duced by carrying the corpse in that man
ner. The distance was 100 PAGES. One man
of medium size could have carried it that
distance. The house, on examination, was
seen to have blood on the window sash in
the back room, on the ceiling between the
rooms, on the wood around the stove,
and on a rocking chair, as if a
person had taken his seat therein, and blood
had run down the back of the chair upon
the bottom; blood also overhead. Under
the floor was a pool of blood in one place,
as if the person had fallen there and died.
Blood spirits all over the wall. The floor
had been mopped up. The mop was per-
fectly saturated. II stood behind the front
door. Found an axe in the back room, the
helve bloody but no blood on the face OF
the axe, as if it had been washed of.
Saw blood on a vest and a pair of drawers,
and, l think, on a pair of soldiers pants.
The soldier pants and vest were Colvin's.
Tn blood on the window seemed to be nm
ger prints. Two pools of blood under the
floor. In back room blood was found on
wall paper which had been torn off and af-
terward erimsoned on the other side. Some
of those blood marks would not have been
discovered by a man coming into his own
house at night, but there were there signs
of death which any ordinary person could
not have helped seeing. A man might not
have seen the marks or the wall, but he
would have seen blood on the table and
floor.

ton of witnesses will be continued. The

ferred to the Jail in this city.
FRoM CLEVELAND TO CHIcAeo.-A com
munication which appeared in the LEADER
of Monday morning undertook to prove
that the Crestline route from Buffalo to
ria Toledo. In order to do so, the length of
the Michigan Southern road is given at pa
miles. 1t is only fair to state thatthis is the
longest line from Toledo, and that by the
Michigan Southern Air Line, over which
all the through express trains run, the dis
lance from Toledo to Chicago is only 234
miles (see p. 217 of Appleton's Railway
Guide) making the whole distance from
Buffalo to Chicago ria Toledo but 52S miles,
or nine miles shorter than Via Crestline.
