acquainted with the singular circumstances attend
ing the case ef a man called Edward Martin, an
employe in the Queens printing ONCE, who few

from fracture OF the skull received through the
upsetting OF CAB III which he was riding. A detec-

apprehension reward has been offered by the
British government. An examination OF the papers

officers persisted III the assertion that the remains
were those or the Yertdble Kelly, several men came
