There are three articles connected with each other
by strange history The irst IS bullet EXTRACTED
from the body Of Edward Matthew's shot In. 1862 by
Patrick Matthews, notorioos gambler and rough.
The murderer escaping punishment, afterwards IN
a quarrel with q man named Keynolds, about q
prostitute with whom Mathews was siefghriding,
was killed by REYNOLDS with the small pocketknife
now hanging near the bullet The woman, Kate
Smith, after the murder OF m n,nn ne,
in Mt ofjealomy plunged an Immense nshmonger's
knife which he had snatched from f1sh store INTO
her body, killing her instantly. Thus these three
weapons together mark one OF the paths OF crime
which lead to destruction, and In which three per-
sons followed each other IN quick succession.
Finally we come to an elegant Deringer. Its
label wired securely to the lock and mlzzle gives
the features Of thrilling drama, and Is sufficient
for this article. It SAYS -. 49,
