there is little doubt in the minds of the people
but that Charles Haaman was the murderer of
Sarah Ann Honnatus and himself The stories
OF their tragic end, as told by the people who

oped coDcusively show that all was correct.
The evidence brought out at the inquest shows
that Haaman was deeply in love with the wo-
man and that he desired her to desert her hus-
