her engagement with the troupe. 1t is stated that
Blanc iound out the day previous to the murder
that his wifc intended 10 deceive HIM aud intended
20 away from him. This Ia said TO enraged Blanc
SO mucn that he determined on killing his wife,
Captain WAshburn Rave II as HIS opinion that the
wie had consented TO her husbands crime and agreed
leave the world with him. he based this opinion,
nrst, the position oil the bodies Tho man lay with
tho back Of his head against the headboard. His lett
under her. She lay partly ner right side,
with her left hand his left shoulder The position
Is positive proof that she had made effort get
Of the way. She had the power TO do this, when
the she raised herself up bed and asked
for . drink OF watcr. II Is morally certain that she
would have used this power in she had
sented TO tho act
