Gaze On the Body--The
Corener's Jury.

Crowds of curious people have gazed
upon the face of Paul Genz's murdered
sweetheart, Clara Arnim, as she lies in
MED admission, and the door leading to
the cold cellar in which she lies is kept
ajar. A fickering gas Jet contributes to
the solemnity of the scene. There are
three bullet wounds discernible in the
face of the murdered girl. One is sur
rounded with powder marks, Showing
that the unfortunate victim was facing
her slayer when the first shot was fired.
Another bullet passed through the skull
just back of the left ear and came out
near the lower jaw bone, which is frac-
tured. The third entered near the base
of theskull, passing out under the right
eye. The fourth entered through the left
ear, probably lodging in the brain. The
nose is fractured besides.

ed upon his niece's body yesterday after
noon at the morgue. A tear stole from
his eyes and he raised his hand reveren-
TALLY, as though invoking a blessing.
"She was a good girl" he said, 'and as
pure as a saint. / implored her not to go
with The villain who so cruelty shot her
down, but she was perverse. She would
not accept my creed. I persuaded her to
enter my church.. She would not, but
she was a good girl. She went with this
worthless scoundrel and was killed like
a dog"
