was the murder of John Smith, one of

is boy, sixteen years old,
rather eccentric, hard student and
great reader. Hard study Is supposed
to have affected his brain and he inn
agined that John Smith and George
Townley, his uncle with whom he
lived, intended to kill him. He dis
liked Smith and expressed determi.
nation TO kill him. Townley talked
with Bond and supposed he had paci-
fed him but while walking along the
road together and Smith suspected
nothing Bond suddenly drew his pistol
and shot him in the back, breaking
the spinal column and causing death
in few hours. Bond was very UNI
concerned and made no effort to
