the cover carefully soldered down. In 8 day
or two the girl was missed when the Judges
house was searched, and in the garden in
the rear oft premises the body was found
inferred. Four persons supposed to have
been concerned in this horrible affair were
arrested, but the Judge, owing to his ex-
alted situation, could only be placed under
