From an investigation made by Police
Justice Richardson /. seems quite clear that
the broken shoe.string found on the reser.
voIr emtankment at the time the body OF
Lillian Madison was discovered in the
water belonged TO deceased's hat. The ex.
animation revealed these facts: The little
piece OF shoe-striug had in it small pune
lures evidently made by hat-pin, and on
the bat was discovered small spot, which,
upon close examination, showed that a
string or a little piece Of cloth of some sort
had been sewed to The bat, as there were
also punctures at this spot indicating that
the string or cloth had been sewed to the
hat and had been broken or pulled off.
