the time Of the tragedy. "Iou sec, )"
said he-and here he drew the corset
around his waist, with the laces in
froat-",he ball must have gone in
here from behind. No, that cao't be-,
either, for the doctor says the ball went
in front. Confound it. I've got it on
wrong. All! this way" Here the coro,
ner put the corset on upside down.
Now you see," pointing to the hole in
the garment, which rested directly over

Here Mr.. Mather, the handsomest man
on the jury, broke in: "Dr. Stillmao," I"
