THE STORY OF MURDER uNFoLDs.


And that was what they had done.
Little by little a chain of evidence was
forged round both the brothers. A
search OF the house downtown revealed
q number of cheap rings and pins con-
cealed in ashes. They were identified as
having belonged 10 the peddler-boy. 1t
was learned also that the brothers and
third man had occupied a house in
Richmond Mt the time OF the murder.
The brothers were identified by tho
owner. A search of that house resulted
in the finding of tho bottom and
handle OF box or tray, that was also
identified as having belonged to Lehman.
1t lay in little heap of ashes and was
all charred, as il an attempt had been
made to burn it all up. Among some
rubbish in the cellar a small Ratchet was
found, on which we're stains of blood.
This Ratchet, tho Jury believed in tho
trial, had been used 10 discover the body
after the murder. Several witnesses
we're found whose testimony brought
the peddler boy and the men together.
The testimony OF one was clincher.
He said that he knew the boy and that
the boy had told him two men who
had bought cheap breastpin from him
wanted TO buy watch. He wished to
sell his watch, and he went with the boys
to see the men. They were the Shupun-
ski brothers. The men were not satisfied
with his watch, and no sale was made.
As he and Lehman were coming away
the men told the boy to be sure to come
again, as they wished to buy more Jew
elry from him. Although the Shupunski
brothers al their trial were defended by
the celebrated David Paul Brown, they
we're quickly convicted and were hanged.
They refused to give any information
that would aid in the discovery or their
third companion
REFUGEES FROM POLAND.
The Shupunskis, it was learned, had
fled from Poland after taking part in
revolutionary uprising. They spent
some time in Germany and then came
to this country. They got work in New
York, where one Of them was charged
with killing fellow-workman, but the
evidence was not sufficiently strong TO
convict him. After drifting about the
country they came here aud settled down
in Richmond.
Curiously enough, the woman whose
"instincts had led to the unesrthing OF
the whole crime. could. under the laws
of evidence, only testify that she had
seen the men standing in front OF the
house at Front and Moore streets.

The Doctor did not let the grass grow
under his feet, and that evening was
installed in my new quarters, which
had visited before, when all the house
was quiet. There Was big cupboard
in the wall next 10 the ivory-turner S
room, and / had soon manufactured on
almost invisible aperture through which
/ could see all that went on in the next
apartment / soon found out that
pretty Miss Hesba went i'll to warm the
beef-tea, upon which the old gent
lived almost entirely, and that she
seemed terribly nervous and worried
about something. l also found out
that the ivory-turner, who called him
self Adam Crossthwaite, was really
named Mark. and with the name a whole
flood OF recollections came back to me.
"The Doctor needn't be afraid OF his
marrying the girl" thought L. Mr..
Adam Crossthwaite alias Mark Scarford

THE MOTHER SEES THE RING.


"Tn fact we didn't find anything on

as he fished Matthiass ring out of q
little box and held it up.
As the woman saw the shining jewel
she grew wild with feeling.

"No, said the officer. "You have

rings like this"

piled, Z" / said it was mine. 1t Is my

Mother, there is one empty space in

either. They had no faith at all in
"women's instincts" But rs the whole
town was still in hubbub OF discussion
about the murder, and as they had cap
tured nobody at all, they thought
they would follow ont even this
clue. They seemed to have enough In the
fact OF the mystery surrounding the
strangers and the story Of giving away
rings, to ask the foreigners to give an
account of themselves. SO police Off
Ger named Hamilton and two COM
panions went down to arrest the men.
When the officers reached the house they
found wagon backed up to the curb.
1t contained lot of poor furniture, and
one of the men was coming out OF the
house with some more in his hands. The
officers were Just in time The strangers
were moving away. But both were yet
on the premises. The officers nabbed
them at once.
The strangers were apparently very
indignant. They said in very lame
English that they were good men.
They had done no harm. They were
handwriting and honest. They were
brothers. Their names were Matthias
and Blaes Shupunski. They had come
to this country from Poland to earn q
living and mighty hard time they had
Of it.
AN OFFICER TAKES A RING.
Still the officers insisted on taking
them TO the police station. After great
deal of arguing the foreigners finally
went with them. At the station'house
Officer Hamilton noticed that Matthias
Shupunski wore handsome and GU
riously wrought ring on the index finger
of his right hand. Watching bis chance,
the officer made an attempt to slip it Oh.
Matthias, who all the while had been ut
terly stolid, turned pale and made tu-
rious resistance, but the officer, with q
struggle, finally succeeded in getting the
ring into his possession. Matthias storm
ed aud entreated, but the officer held on
! TO the ring.
He showed il TO his captain alterward
and suggested that, as the peddler boy
sold rings, this ring would be an i'm
portant clue. But the Captain said no.
/ This was a valuable ring, not at all like
the cheap stuff that little Lehman sold.
Matthias said that the ring was family
| heirloom and that he had brought it
with him from Poland. His story seemed
probable. Other people who knew the
peddler and understood his character of
business were consulted. They said that
the boy had never sold rings like that.
Shupunski's stofy must be true. so the
ring was laid asiue
The boys mother was one Of the first
TO hear of the arrest. She came to the
station-house. She was very much dis
appointed when she was told that as yet
nothing had been found that brought
the crime directly home to the strangers.
