to his death beyond the marks Of blood on
the staircase. Skeryitt has been missing
since last Monday, but 1t was supposed he
had gone to Sacramento on business. This
supposition was confirmed from the fact
that two kilograms were received from
there bearing his signature. One was I'D.
dressed to Sam Dixon, the stock broker;
the other to Donohue, Kelly q Co.,, bankers,
to the effect that he was engaged In selling
some property and would not return for
several days. The only information SO far
obtained is that Monday last he WAS seen
to enter the house with three men from
Nevada, who were negotiating with him
for the purchase Of the house and two
others adjoining belonging to Skerritt.
Shortly after the neighbors saw the three
men come out of the house, but not &C.
c%ompanied by Skerritt. This fact did not
excite suspicion, and the matter was for
