| before servant sruIn Deiaro-. ryus
| came rushing along in eager hasle OF
his way to the cellars. The man has
gone up to the BEDROOM TO call Delar,
and found that the door was opened, tb,
lamp still burning with a low, fickerine
light, but the bed had not been slept on
Knowing his masters intention t
visit the cellars on the previous even
ing, he was now bound thither
The man was soon told of the sac
news and hastened back to the house te
inform the other servants about it.
During the long hours of that hazy
warm summer afternoon there was q
great deal of hustle and extraordinary
excitement in San Paola- 1t reached
fever heat however, at Delaro's late
home and among the workmen at the
cellars.
Velasquez undertook the charge Oh
affairs in the place of Delaro and acted
as though he intended to run matters
with a high hand.
In the afternoon the coroner called q
jury together and commenced his of
fetal investigation into the cause of the
death.
The first witness called was Anton
Reyman, who testified to having parted
with Delaro on the previous night about
ten o'clock, near the entrance to the eel
lars, also to finding him dead among
the vines on the following morning
From the surroundings of the MUIR
dered man he could imagine nothing
which would indicate by whom the deed
had been committed, but noticed that
he had been stabbed in the back
The other workmen were then called,
but only corroborated Anton's state
ment. Then the men who were present
at the cellars when Delaro called in on
that fatal night were questioned as to
what had transpired on that occasion.
They each told the same story, saying
that MIR. Delaro was in very bad tenn
per over the fact that large quantity
of wine had been spoiled owing to care
lessness on the part Of the man who had
charge of it, and that he spoke rather
sharply to all of them.
did he pass angry words with any
one in particular?' asked the coroner of
the last witness, a burly German.
The man hesitated before replying,
then said: ''Yes, he spoke quite angrily
to Anton Reyman, about keeping
sharper eye on the men,"
Were these tho first cross words
spoken thatday between Mr. Delaro and
Anton?" was the next question.
NO" replied the workman; "they
had several noisy talks that day and
Anton, who, is himself rather hot-tem-
pered at times, talked back and said
about understanding his busi
ness, but that he could not be response
BILE for the mistakes and carelessness of
idle worthless fellows Like those Mr.
Delaro sometimes employed at busy
time"
Then the coroner inquired if Anton
often showed signs of hot temper. He
gets in rage sometimes, when things
don't go quite right, but it soon passes
OFF" was the response.
After this other witnesses were called
who testified to several recent quarrels
between Delaro and An ton, though all
insisted that none of these hot-word
passages were at all serious affairs.
just about this time one of the Of
fcers approached. Anton and bent down
as though to examine his clothing.
'Where did you get this blood on
your overalls?" he inquired of Anton
Realizing the horri bic purport of the
question, Anton replied: Il got that
as knelt over the body of my dead en-
oloyer this morning." was the reply.
''Some on your Shirt. too" said the
officer. us that the same shirt you wore
asst night?"
Anton's quick temper made the hot
blood fly to his checks, and the veins in
lis neck distended as he angrily re-
olied:
''Yes, it is; but why do you ask such
questions?' L must have
rot the blood on my shirt when I ex-
Lmined the body in my curiosity to see
whether the wound was ,self-inflicted or
lot"
"A pretty thin story, amt it, cor
'ner?" asked the officer.
The coroner looked wise and said that
hat was for the jury to,decide. There
,eing no further witnesses to be exam
ned the jury were, called upon for
-erdict.
1t did not take them long to reach a
ecision, and in very few moments they |
declared that the dead man came to his |
cath at the handssof an unknown mur-
erer.
Practically. however. the unknown
nan" of their verdict was a farce, for |

Anton Reyman be held in custody for |
urther examination before a Justice"
The same day Anton was taken be- |
ore a justice-people in these parts
ose no time in such matters-for ex-
mination.

round covered by the, witnesses again.
