afterward the family also retired, but . few
minutes afterward every one i'm the house
was awakened by the noise Of terrific
crash in the front of the house. KOrnobis,
getting up, rushed into the street, and found
two officers bending over the body Of man
surrounded and partly covered with broken
pieces of wood and other material. Blood
was flowing in streams from deep
cut in his forehead. and KornObis soon dis
covered that the body was that of his IN
tended son-in-law, and Ithat life was
then quite extinct. Miss Kornobis then came'
out to see what the crash was caused by.
and, catching sight of her lovers bleeding
form, sank down beside it, overcome with
grief She refused to believe that he was
dead, and would not leave his body
until absolutely forced to do so by her par.
ents. All day it was feared that her mind
