into the wagon and told me to drive on
l asked: Where shall go? Melville
said, Anywhere, just keep moving;
am afraid we are being followed. Will
Jams turned to Melville, and said

place as any. The first sewer we came

l went to the horses head. Melville
took hold of the trunk ON the top, but
could not lift it, and called to Villa MS
to help him. Melville jumped into the

body raised the lid. The trunk was not
turned over, nor was the body thrown
out They carried the trunk to the
sewer, and tried TO crowd it all down
heard Williams say, We can't dump i;
in.
1.-THE next thing I saw they had lifted
the trunk lengthwise and let the body
drop head foremost into the sewer.
They then tried to crowd the trunk in
after the body. Finding they could not
do this, Melville said, We can take this

and Melville said; L can't find any
| road
| The policeman told us we would

| At.this time the trunk was in the wagon.
| After Melville got into the wagon he
rubbed his hands together and knocked
| considerable sand over my clothes.
| From this | was satisfied that they had
buried the instruments near that spot.
They did not bring them back with
| them. We then turned cityward, by
way of Evanston avenue. After driving
q short distance, Melville said to Will
! Hams: i wonder whether that d-n
fool will see to the cottage and cover up
things, or whether he will get scared.
Williams said: L think Annie will

land avenue, and went past the cottage.
AS we passed we saw women going in
the back way. Just before we reached
Webster avenue, asked Melville,

rid of them?' He said: OH that IS all
right, we'll attend to them. Then
turning to Williams he said: You had
better go out to the house tomorrow
and see that things are cleared up.
Williams replied No, we have been
around there enough already. We will
