in this country that he detected something
wrong in the parting salute Of Mrs. WIRE
and that he seized WIRE by the throat and
extracted from his mouth pill in which was
cunningly enyeloped deadly poison. BAKEE

happened to be in very large numbers at the

statement SO far the pill was concerned. II
