ska, the wounded woman's husband.
The stains on the shoes of Jones were subjected
TO a chemical examination by DIR. Lsster, at the
Charity Hospital, but no traces OF blood were dis-
covered
Grant was then confronted with Wesley Smith,
the last negro arrested but failed to identity him,
saying that he had only seen the back OF the man
who was striking the woman In the house: ne
ana the accused (Smith) were then placed in the
relative positions said to have been occupied by
him (Grant) as observer and the sssailant. New
ertheless the former failed to identify Smith; in
fact expressed an opinion quite opposite
Then Jones' the first accused, was brought IN,
and the observer (Grant) and he were placed in
the relative positions aforesaid, viz: Grant as II
he were standing on the bsuquette, and Jones as
II in the house. Grants answer was, THAT be-
comes the man seen in the house."
The two parties accused and the witness Grant
were then all locked up to await further develop

Mrs. Borowsks, for some time after the blow
was inflicted remained insensible. Her first
question upon regsining partial possession Of her

blow al d then raDaway from the house, and this
money it must have been that induced the com

by some one previously aware OF the money
being there. But whoever the guilty party, these
facts stand forth grim aud CHASTITY that at 10
