were placed in Jail to await a preliminary
examination. Today Prosecuting At

residence, where a post mortem
ton was held, which revealed the fact
that forty-six or more marks of violence
were shown on the head, face and limbs.
The left hip. thigh and entire member
seemed to nave peer scalded to a blister,
and in handling the body the cuticle
slipped of, leaving ii a horrible sight.
Some fifteen or twenty of the marks we're
