In Gebhardt's hand was clutched q
piece of paper which Warner had handed
him. IL read:-
As have been in the business for thirty years
and no man was coward enough to discharge
me, until you, you villain, tried TO get some one
to turn on me.
You shall pay for it with your life.
Mr. Geohardt, the convicted; August warmer,
the executioner.
Gebhardt had been foreman in Hall.
STEMS shop for years aud was known as
the working partner.
Last week Warner had a row with
young Gebhardt, who is also employed in
the place. Foreman Gebnardt spoke Go
Walner about the trouble aud Warner is
said to have acted sullenly. Warner ap-
pealed to the mead of the firm, but the
foreman was upheld. and Warner said he
would get another job, which he was ad-
vised to do.
A few minutes after Warner reached
the hospital he died. On his person was
round a note reading:- 4&
