Vile, Nd. reassembled, and Dr. Fox testified as
TO the wounds. Caroline Hebron, colored, who

cton, testified to her Whereabouts On Monday
night, ana was corroborated by other witnesses
1T was stated that few days before the murder
the woman Hebron had gone to Sallie Hall for a

any kind. II was shown In the Investigation

as was supposed to have been used by the MUIR
derer, and Isabella Bray, cOlored, testified that
SnannS gave 1t 20 her eight months AGO, and
that 1t had not since been In his possession
