THE HAyDLELKss nATcHEr
Only one Of the hachcis found In the house could
hav, been used TO accomplish TIE murders they
were accomplished. Th., hatchr' fits The holes IN
the skulls OF the two victims. No other doe. II
was found by the police apart from the other axes
and hatchcs. In little box shelf In the cellar.
The handle Of this hatchct had been broken of close
N the head the part held in the OF the Ratchet
remaining there. Two police officers were present
when II found. one says that the d't1ch'i
handle was not there. Tho other saws II was. ana
describes particularly how he held It ana how his
companion held IL IN their hands They contradict
one another fatly and In detail. There wcr- other
tools In the box and rusty nails and all were
covered with dust. not a fine s'dment IF ordnnr,
dust but the coarse dust OF ashes. There an
ash-hcnp near by. At first the police attached no
significance 10 this Ratchet head. being deceived by
some rust aud reddish marks the blade and
handle Of n larger Ratchet which had claw head.
Professor Wood has narrowed this whole Ratchet sub

anywhere on any Of them. and the only ground 10
suppose that the haichet with tho broken handle

the skulls together with the fact that the break IN
| the handle seemed TO be break. thclgh tho
| value Of that circumstance Is even more largely
| speculative than Of the other.

dcrs occurred. she gave to them n blue waist and
bluc shirt different in shade and figuring. and both
conspcuously different from the dress described by
both Bridget and Mrs. Churchill. She also cav, TO

blood any OF these articles, except spot the size

| THE MEDICAL EXPERTS EVIDENCE.
This. essentially, Is the against the prisoner

against anybody. The Harvard professors agree that
