most unusual. Mr.. Cornally's evidence
will go to prove that the murder was COM
united on Saturday night. II the husband
is the murderer, according TO Mr.. Rob-
bins's testimony, il may be concluded that
HAYES went out Sunday 10 see that his job
was well done-that no one suspected him.
IRENE's BLOODY vLoTHEs.
About an hour before tue body Of Mrs.
Hawes was found in the hike, Messrs. Phil
Givon and John Olmstcad made a dis
covery which is by no means unimportant.
They were searching the house and the
premises which the Halves family had oc-
cupied. One Of them crlwled under the
building and there found a pile OF fresh
ashes. Scattering the pile the gentleman
found that it had as n base bundle OF
clothes. lie brought them ont and exam
ined them. They were bloody aud were
about the size and style OF those worn by
little Irene. They were probably the ones
she wore when she was murdered. II is
thought moreover, that the little girl was
naked when her body was thrown in the
lake, il il was thrown mat all. Had she
had any clothes ON and been on the bottom
of the lake at Lakeview the draggers be-
licve they would have hooked her cloth
ing, as every inch OF tho bottom
has been scratched. II Is stated, further
more, that several times during the
day the hooks had caught In certain To-
cality some heavy object but that the
weight OF II had torn the substance of the
object from the hooks each time. Possibly
il Is lrcne's soft flesh that gives way to the
weight of the heavy irons which hold her
TO the bottom when the sharp hooks pierce
her tender body.
STORY OF LITTLE MAY.
"Little May Halves was the most intelli.
gent child OF her age / ever saw, said
Pawnbroker Lusky yesterday. "She came
10 my place Of business several times last
summer with her mother. Later she
called several times alone, and | was much
surprised at the Intelligent manner in
which she talked about BUSINESS matters.
She was quite an interesting child and very
pretty. Her mother, too, was a handsome
woman, and mother and child seemed
strongly attached TO each other"
