an found himself in danger of the law.
Buchahna saysVanduserwas at the bottom
of it and that Vanduser engaged the man
who was to dress in resemblance of the
pudgy little doctor. On the night of
10th of August last, Buchanan went
to the Market street ferry, where
Vanduser and man named Shep-
pard, better known as Shep," were in
waiting. Buchanan gave his coat to his
double and then drove off:in carriage to
the Connecticut railroad junction, and
Shep" passed on to the ferry boat, to be
saluted by Helton as g Doc,'' and to be
pointed out by Vanduser asDr. Buchanan.
OF course "Shep" had. nothing to say
to anyone on the boat, and this point
was used by Varduser to impress
on the deck hands the fact that
"the doctor is acting strangely to- night"
As tho ferry-boat turned to enter the
canal separating Ridgway park from
Windmill Island skiff crossed it bow and
lay close in under the shadow of the piles
that just from. the point of the Island.
"Shep" stripped himself of Buchanan's
coat and plunged overheard. The excited
passengers on the ferryboat rushed wildly
about and watched for the unfortunate to
rise. They saw the DOCTORS head bob up
10 the. water; they heard him give one
loud, ar-splitting cry of despair, and then
after faint struggle with tue waves, saw
him. finally sink beneath the moonlight
waters. This was very pretty, but
As matter of fact. "Shep"
did not take ten strokes in
the water before he caught hold of his
partners skiff, and, clutching lightly to
the stern. was hauled down the river to |
below Point Airy, where he clambered in |
md was rowed along the Jersey side of the |
liver up to Cooper's point and thence
scross to Palmer Street wharf, which was
lear his home in Kensington. Meanwhile
vanduser went into Mysteries on the boat.
He cried and raved ovcr the doctors loss
ike amadman, and then went down Jersey
o tell the doctors daughter how her
ather had been drowned. 1t was on this
.asis that Judge Butler judicially declared ]
TOha Buchanan dead.
