found i'll the stomach of the deceased, and that
she could not have been intoxicated at the time
OF her death nor have been drinking within a
number of hours preceding.
The evidence shows that the deceased left
Thorndike's Friday morning, where she had
been for some days, and went to Burns where
she remained during the day; that she went out
early in the evening and soon returned; that
Ihorudke came here ard quarreled with
the deceased and Mrs. Burns accusing them of
having taken money belonging to her; that
MIS-. Thorndike attempted to search Mrs Pet
Zee, and Mrs Burns interfered and blows pass
ed between her and her sister, Mrs. Thorndike,
ana the latter was put out of the house. Mrs.
re1tee went or was pushed out previously, and
lett the house afterthis quarrel. She was seen
py neighbor to come towards the Burns house
somewhere about ten o'clock, which is the lat
est that any witness has positively testified to
seeing her till she was found in the morning.
Ann Burns states that she saw an unknown
man near her house at twelve clock, and Mrs
Martin, the next neighbor, testifes to having
seen man and woman standing there but
does not identify them. Thorndike and his
wife appear to know remarkably little about
the matter considering the circumstances. The
general opinion is that the woman died from
the effects of the beating she received All the
circumstances point to this conclusion. Va
rous theories and suspicious are strongly en-
tertained but ''who did it, is still the mystery
