It is to be observed here that the bed Oh
whic.. the murdered man slept Thai night Vas
merely low Fie Of mattresses, there beng
70 bcdstead 1t ali and that any one looking
from the lall door toward tho bed could not
have failed to SEQ the corpse at once.
: II Is natural to ask how Washington Nathan
knew positively that his brother WAS home.
when he locked and doub1e-bolted the door.
He hsd not seen him that evening, and did not
know when lIe was coming hotno 1n ADVANCE
Of him and get he acted as though be had
erick in the house, or elfe nc took the risk OF
locking him out.
The sane gentleman also hsd conversa-
.ion with Mrs. kclly, the housekeeper, "a fol-

By her FROM her father, who VAS enormously

tits y noticeable fact, and ono which hss
not attrnc:ea sufficient attention, that the dog
with which the murder w2s committed, and
enc end OF which was thickly coated With
blood, left no stain u1>on the Aoor, where it
was found lying in tho morning, and that no
blood dripped from Il as It was brought down

that the mu1deTpus implement WAS not brought

Another important fact is- that tho expert

heard by pegeons in the other rooms, has not
been tried IN the dead silence Of the night, but
only at Al hour when the rnMhlsng os onn.
