report and ran away, the corpse still clinging
to the vehicle, and the murderers falling in
their designed robbery. The horse was
stopped by some residents on the road and
the body, still warm, was removed. The

the money was, when she screamed for Mrs.
Caswell. The accomplice then struck Mrs.
Kinsley with chair. Mrs. Caswell, on
coming out Of her room. was struck on the
head with hatchet by the accomplice, who
then left her for dead, when both the mur-
derers returned to Mrs. KinSleys bedroom
and searched for money where she indicated
but found none. Mrs. Caswell had returned
to consciousness and was attempting to
reach her room, when the negro followed her
and killed her with chair. In the meantime
the accomplice had finished Mrs. Kinsley.
They then tried to light q lamp but failed,
and after further search, gave up all hopes
Of finding any money and left. Verrill whom
the negro charges with being the instigator
Of and accomplice in the crime, is in jail.
