ly, and found spots Of blood on Il. These
were found to be quite dry, showing that
the attack on Mr.. Nathan had been made
with it several hours previously. Wash.
iugton Nathan then recollected that when
he came down stairs to give the alarm, he
found the front hall door unfastened, al.
though closed. Nevertheless, the house
was thoroughly searched from garrett TO
basement but the murderers could not be
found.
Strangely enough, although MIS- Kelly
slept on the same floor as the murdered
man, and the most Of the doors were
open, she heard nothing of the silray, al
though 1t was evident that q desperate
struggle had taken place.
On visiting the 0 where Mr.. Nathan
lay, the officers found him lying Just out
side the door leading from the main room
into a smaller Office. He had on nothing
but an under.shirt and a night.shirt. Both
these garments were saturated with blood.
The body also lay in a pool of blood, and
the walls on either side of the doorway
leading into the office were marked and
despatched with blood. The carpet, also,
was soaked with blood. Evidently a
desperate struggle had taken place before
Mr.. Nathan was overpowered and slain.
In n corner of the office mentioned
was a small safe. This had been opened
with a key obtained from the pantaloons
pocket of the deceased. A tin box lay on
the floor. The papers which II had CON
tanned were strewn over the floor, as also
all the rest of the contents of the safe.
The clothing Of Mr.. Nathan lay on the
chairs where he had placed them the pre-
vious night. An examination of them
showed that Mr.. Nathan's watch and dia-
mond studs had been stolen. 1t was
evident that the deceased had been awak.
ened by the noise made by the thief In
rummaging the safe, and, springing from
bed, had seized him. Tho thief, with the
"dog" mentioned, had dealt him a num-
Der of blows on the hands and head, the
latter crushing in the skull.
