and it was soon discovered that the fine
frame dwelling house of Mr.. d. A. Nc
Allister, situate on Pine street, Mount
Holly, known as the John Brown
property" was in flames. A large
crowd of people was soon on the spot,
but the flames had considerable head

bring the criminals to justice. The

liver were secured and will be subjected
to rigid examination by chemical ex.
perts. A very serious and suspicious
claim may be found in the fact that, al.
though the body generally was decom.
dosed, the stomach and bowels were in
wonderful degree of preservation and
rendered it a matter of no difficulty to
determine the probable condition before
death.
