possible ways ia winch the crime might

IN the city would DC liable 10 attract atten-
ton; therefore be concluded that the deed
must have been done somo other way In

crossing the North river upon that night
about ten o'clock had seen man and WON
al qgarreliug in low tones upon the after

He went forward 10 the engine-room for
moment. aud when he returned be saw the
man standing by the rail alone. AS he APP
preached the stranger the man turned
abruptly and walked into the gentlemen's
cabin The deck hand had paid no atten-
ton TO 1t, because circumstances Of that
nature are so common where crowds assem-
bic, aud had thought nothing further OF
1t until tho detectives had put their usual
inquiries 10 him as TO whether he had seen
such people as Mr.. and Mrs. Brownlow
come over on his boat on the night IN ques-
tion. ketcham reasoned from this that the
murder had been done upon the ferry boat,
and ho strong Y believed that there was
cicw tothe crime. He was therefore watch
ing the river as patiently as possible
One day q ragamuffin. who was fishing
from the end Of a long dock that ran ont

heavy on his line. lie knew that AZ WAS no
fish. and vas in somo disgust that has line

he brought the object 10 the surface 1t
proved 10 bc n garment Of some kind He
quickly pulled il up 10 the wharf and found
at the end Of the line a fashionable opera
cloak IN an advanced state OF ruin. The
cloak was made III the latest fashion, IN
black Indian cashmere, embroidered in gold
passementeries. Few such garments are
worn by people who cross on The ferry
boats or who ramble about the docks.
The ragamufin was much rejoiced a. his
find. and, although the garment was 50
nearly spoiled. ne believed that hc could
realize a considerable sum upon 1t by DIS
posing Of it 10 a second hand dealer. As nc
was going of the wharf with II u policeman,
