poured from the many frightful gashes
that had been inflicted. The feelings of
wife under such circumstances can well
be imagined Mrs III. was at once
thrown into a state of excitement and
grief from which at two o clock this morn
ing she had not sufficiently recovered to
be able to give aay account of what had
happened. After viewing the remains
the jury repaired to the henerv. where
they made such Investigations as seemed
to them necessary, after which they re
Turned to the house, where they found
that DR.. Dodge had arrived. and was
| making an examination of the wounds
After as minute an examination as could
be made under, the circumstances the
Doctor reported that he found seven
wounds, one of which was both confused
and lnclsed and the balance incised be-
sides several scratches about the face.
There was also fracture Of the frontal
bone over both orbits, fracture of the
jaw bone on both sides, and also fracture
of the the cheek bones. Several OF the
| front teeth had been Knocked out, and
the bones of the nose had also been bro
ken. The doctor gave it as his opinion
that there was no one wound that would
necessarily produce death, but there were
three either one OF which might produce
death. Is. e.
To sum the whole matter up, briefly,
the following facts would seem to show
that Mr.. Honey was not killed by his
horse
lst. The many and peculiar wounds
which were inflicted, there being long
one on the left temple, long one on the
forehead above the nose, besides other
smaller ones, a long one over the right
eye running parallel with the eye brow,
and long and deep one back of the right
ear. These wounds were found perfectly
clear of all dirt, something that could
hardly have been, had the horse kicked
Or paved him, as the feet of the horse
We're filed with wet manure and straw,
when the jury examined him. f f..,.
| 2nd. The fact that there was but two
Slight bruises on his limbs or body.
! Sd. The fact that his pocket book was
missing. Finding the key and pocket
rule in the stall, together with the fact
that the book was missing, would serve
to show that they were pulled out with
the book -s-..~ .-.J ..g
4th. The fact that the south door was
not fastened, shows that d man might
| have committed the deed and then made
his escape through this door, closing it
when lie went out
5tf. The fact that the fork was found
in the stall with blood on it.
9th. The fact that his head was found
lying so near the manager would look as
though the first blood was not from the
kick of horse. ..r---.l .gz..
We hope we are wrong in our conclu-
sions, for we would be sorry to know that
there was man in Fond du Lac possess
ed Of a fendish spirit which would prompt
him to so brutally murder and old man
OF sixty years, just for what money he
might have on his person. Mr.. Honey
is well spoken of by his neighbors, and
| his wife says she did not know he had an
enemy in the world The last person
known to have been with him was negro
boy named Fred Williams, who helped
HIM grind an axe at one o clock in the
afternoon OF Saturday. 1t was proved
before the inquest, however, that the boy
was not with him more than ten minutes.
Mrs, Honey states that there was an I'M
preston among the neighbors that Mr..
Honey was man of considera bic means
An inquest was held and the jury came
to the conclusion that Mr.. Honey came
to his death from wounds inflicted by
an instrument in the hands Of some per-
son or persons to the jury unknown.
