sen had been living alone, and being SUBJ
jeot occasionally to brief spells Of uncon-
seriousness or spasms, was generally visited
in the evening by some of her friends or
relatives to see that she was well and every
thing going on right. On Sunday evening
last, she was not seen as usual in the front

falling forward into the fire, and lying Of
her right side her body being left in this

that her husband has neither robbed bank
