bullet holes In his head. A searching ~investi-
CATION was made and, TO the astonishment OF
the community, Dorsey and his wife, the latter
a daughter OF the murdered man, were ar
rested for the crime. Shortly after this,
Emma ID. Burton, another daughter, con-
fessed that she and Dorsey and his wife
were equally guilty, for while Dorsey shot
Burton who was eating his breakfast Mrs.
Dorsey and Emma Burton stood watch at the
door 70 guard against intruders. A few weeks
ago II was developed that Mrs. Dorsey who is
about to become a mother, was IN q precar!ous
condition, the seeds OF consumption having
become deeply rooted in her system, and there
being other indications Of approaching dis
solution. The best Of medical skill has been
provided for her, but 1t Is now certain that
she viii be called upon to answer for her
crime before q higher tribunal before the
case can be passed upon by one below.
