MoSriii sa~ the form q tho burglsr entrr

A r~mor Il surpri-- made the body Of
the burglar shake Recovering himself,
he struck Morrili's right wrist with an
iron liar. knocking the revolver from his
hand, which, ~ IL fell To the floor, ex

three blows over tine head with the same
bar. Then commenced hsnd-to-hand

bound not to be captured alive. Morrill,,
thus uharmed, as far rs his revolver was
concerned, grabbed for big marlin
spike, such ~ is used by sailors on ship
board, which was in his cardigan jacket;
and while he held the house. breaker with
his left hand, commenced punching him
in the face and mouth with the marlin
spike.
This caused great pain, and he screamed
to his confederate, outside in the yard,
"For Gods sake! I believe he's going to
kill mew He sQuirmed and screamed
tremendously, but Morrill, held him rs in
q vice, and kept up the pounding with
the marlin spike. Morrill, found that the
burglar was reaching for his right jacket
pocket, 10 which in the melee he thought
he had felt a pistol. While keeping him
from effecting an entrance into his peck.
ct, Morrill, felt pick Of knife in his
left breast. The burglar had drawn u
dirk knife and struck ut Morrill,.
The blade of the knife (as was after
wards found) is about eight inches long,
ground to true edge on both sides. 1t
looked as though it had been swedged
out by some country blacksmith, and
ground down, making it most murder
GUS weapon. The fellow aimed heavy
blow, but the blade struck on Que of the
buckles Of Morrill's suspenders, passing
through that, but bringing up on the
sides, and preventing the knife from en-
tering the body at any great length; a
wound between the ribs in the region of
the heart, being made to the depth of
about one fourth of al inch. Thus Nor
rill's life was saved by the gallows. The
presence of that buckle was the ouly
thing that prevented instant death.
The policeman's next effort was to
wrench the knife from the hand OF the
would-bc murderer; and to do this while
he was slashing round in the dark was no
easy undertaking. He pricked Morrill,
several times in the back of the head,
cutting to the scalp, and cutting also his
ear and neck, in fact becoming quite ia
miliar ON first acquaintance. Morrill,
concluded he must relieve the fellow of
that knife. He felt round and finally got
hold Of the handle, and by superiority of
strength took from him the knife, drag
ging the blade through the burglars
hand. 1t must have left its marks. The
contestants had been upon their feet all
the time.
When the burglar lost his knife he
stopped and attempted to escape. order
ing his confederate t. shoot him" The
confederate did shoot; the ball came
crashing through the window, a few
inches shove Morrilfs head, but NJ this
time the burglar gut away from morrill,,
who had him by the hair of the besd.
