hotel. The house has been recently re-
decorated and newly furnished, and the
rooms are large and handsome. Quite

Markoe can take care of 300 people in good
style.

HbbN'S Motive.

Libby's motive Is known, though the
rules of evidence would not allow it to be
proved At the trial. Lydia Snow had said
that her life Was In danger. She had even
arranged for the disposition Of her effects
II she should be "shot." That was the
word she used. Libby wanted her to
elope with him to California, and threat
ened to shoot her and himself too II she
persisted 10 her refusal. But nobody else
heard the threats, and Libby was not pres.
emit when she repeated 1t. The evidence
was "hearsay" evidence, and the rules ex.
clude Il, for the reason that such testimony

are 20 prone to misunderstand what they
