AND WAS URDERED
1t was not long after this that the
woman's house was entered and robbed
OF q small amount of money. One OF
the colored men was arrested at the
time, but Miss Petty refused to make
any charge against him.
On the occasion of the robbery two
years ago, when Miss Petty was assault
ed by the burglars, she had been out on
an errand. leaving a lighted lamp down
estairs.
When she returned the light was gone
from the hall. and she saw Its reflection
IN one of the upper rooms.
She fearlessly went upstairs and was
knocked down by the burglars. Her con-
duct on that occasion leads to the belief
hat When she entered her house on the
night Of the murder she at once made
q light herself. without attempting to call
for assistance.

which the detectives have to work
upon In the weapon with which.
In all probability. the wounds on the

the back of the slightly trained skirt by
the introduction of two cornet-shaped

they near the bottom of the skirt The
short waist has a still shorter Spanish

with green brocade and finished with
