| maurice DeanS startled exclamation OF
recognition, ere he fell to the ground over
whelmed by his discovery, afforded the po-
lice an important clew toward clearing up
the Identification of the woman whose mur-
dered remains had been Unexpectedly dis
covered in Great Chester street, which
might otherwise have been wrapped up in
! much mystery.
A cautious observer might, indeed, have
suggested that Maurice Dean had reasoned
on too slight premiss-if he could have
| been said to have reasoned at all-and had
simply rushed rashly on wild conclusion
| that a subsequent investigation of facts
might show to- be entirely unwarranted.
| The fact that the body of woman had been
found on the premises lately occupied by
| Gerald Latour, absolutely uHrecognizable
except from the tresses of her long faxen
hair, and that Maurice's sister had hair of
the same color, and had been known to La
| tour, and two other slight marks of identifi-
cation to be mentioned presently were all
that Maurice Dean had to go upon in the
shape of positive evidence, and formed but
a slender basis on which to build an accusa-
| ton of murder.
But none of those who had been present at
the scene, and had witnessed the startling
| effect produced on the surgeon by his ours
ory examination of the remains OF the MUIR
dered girl, and had heard that terrible cry,
''It is my sisterl" uttered in the accents of
anguished conviction, could entertain a
| doubt, that, by whatever means Maurice
Dean had arrived at his conclusion, he had
spoken, to the best of his belief, truly. In
spector Sullivan was visibly impressed by
what he had seen, and when the case was
| committed to his hands he determined to
start from the assumption that Maurice
Dean was not the victim of mere hallucina-
| ton, led astray by an over-heated imagina-
! ton, when be declared that the remains
which he had seen were the body of his sis

quick bound reached the truth.
The surgeon was so utterly unstrung in
every nerve by the shocking discovery that
as soon as he recovered from his swoon he
was quickly removed to his home in cab.
and q brother medical-officer was called in
to take his place, while the body of the girl,
whom be still alleged to be mis- sister Meta,
was conveyed to the parish deadhouse, to
await medical examination and the inquest

Gibbons was the police surgeon in an ad
