ceIyed by Mr. Feitig. who assisted in every
wav possible. Every f0rkful Of hay was
carefully examined. and near the foot Of the
stall two small straps and a Ratchet were
found under the planks.
Mr.. Feitg identified the hatchet and
straps rs having been the property Of Ross
deitcher. The Ratchet was carried as a
weapon Of defence. The straps assisted IN
carving the peddler's bundle. Although "A
careful search was made nothing else was
found.
The examination yesterday was made az
the request of Mir. Feitig. who had hopes
that the lost money Of Rossdcitchcr might
