it done before even il a crime was pre-
meditated Why We're these articles con
reaIrd on Clinton street What reason
nad anybody to suppose that the captain
would 60 down that street suppose we
Nay the things were concealed alter the
shots We're fired. 1t is scarcely reasonable
- suppose an assassin would return to
that street, OF all streets in the world, at
ter NE had committed the murder there
lhc coucealment, then, must have been
made before the fatal deed was done and
who can give Il halfway plausible reason
for the article, being Lid away At all, on
that particular street, before the captain
was killed Then, again, the fact that
the small bag was ritled, is Il strange
Thing According To the captains mem
nrandum. il is supposed he had a large
amount of bonds in that bag. His list
government bond. ;tS everybody knows, Is
IL large Sheet of thick paper. The railroad
bond are like them The sixty pieces
would stuff the small bag quite full They
would weigh probably four on five pounds
WhV did the murderer fleeing from JUS
ti,e, hinder his time to cut open the beg
and take out these papers when the bag
was precisely the thing he needed to carry
them i'm Unless hc tied them up with
cord. he would be in great danger nt
dropping some OF them. He could not
put such a bundle in his pocket, and 4
bundle of bonds would attract much more
attention than "A bag. The weight and
hulkinrSs of this great quantity of bonds
seems not to have been much considered.
The difficulty of fixing upon a satistac-
tory theory deepenS as new developments
are made 1t is singular circumstance
that the captain was shot directly in front
uG the house of Hiram Mathews, portrait
painter, native and until recently a
resident OF litchtirld Mathews was seen
