sandy beach last winter found drowned
man. They took the corpse to a bar.room
near by, stood him BY the bar and told
Captain Trendendick, who kept the place
that friend wished to treat the crowd
They drank all round and went out. Tren.
dendick asked the corpse to settle, received
no answer and then struck him. The dead
man dropped to the floor with tI,ud, his
friends came rushing in and charged his
murder on the bar.keeper. Trendendick,
white as sheet, and with trembling
voice, was at first dumbfounded and at last
he exclaimed "Well, did II in selfde-
tense; he drew knife OH me before |
struck him."
