case.
The village of Somervillc was agog
with excitement. This was the first
sensation it had ever known, and the
strange murder of the lady was mat

Thomas Fitzgerald, the chief bust

one thousand from the town and two
Thousand from his own pocket. AS he
was known to be Il rather close man in

part of Mr.. Fitzgerald was matter of
some surprise to many Detective Fer

The body of the murdered woman

The detective returned to the city,
and he, too, soon forgot the case, his
attention being taken up with new

evening, however, about four months
later, by a conversation which he over
