their own counsel. They took up the slim
threads furnished them and connected them

titled Peter McGloin VS.. Mrs. Hugh McGloin,
No 40S Of the docket Of said court. and
which purpOrts to be given for valuable
consideration and signed by the said Mrs.
titled case, was given without any valuable
consideration being received therefor, and,
30 the best of my knowledge and belief.
the signature thereto is not that of Mrs.
Ann McGloin. wife of Hugh McGloin,
against whom judgment has been rendered
in aforesaid case. and l am willing and
hereby CO nsent that the said note and judy
ment should be considered annulled and
worthless.

uane is not spelled correctly, nor is Duty's.
which plainly indicates that Peters name
was forged. His genuine signature. taken
from his prayer book, is not like this one.

JOHN GCLLLFER.
The detectives. in ferreting out the par
t.cu,acs. ascertained that all the interested
parties except Hugh told outright false
hoods concerning the case. Farmer, Duny'
and Mrs Ann McGlOin testified before the
coroner, and since that time several clrcum-
stances have come to light which induce the
officers to say that either the testimony or
the circumstances are false, and they are
inclined to believe circumstances.
Duffy is about fifty-fve years old, low IN
stature. rather stout, ford complexion, and
was on the police force until few months
ago. when he was dismissed on account OF
inattention to duty.
The three accused will be arraigned be-
lore Recorder Houghton to-day. John T.

charged with the murder.
