falling across her body.
1t was shortly after G o'clock this
morning when Park Policeman Thomas
flynn, who had just left the
Arsenal, reached the. place where
the bodies We're lying. opposite Eigh-
, tleth street He had not heard the
shooting and was moving leisurely
along his post when he came upon the
bodies. He at first thought the two
figures lying there were sleeping. but
when he caught sight of the revolver
the true situation was revealed.
A cursory examination Of the bodies
was all that he waited to make, and
then he hurried Off to report the trag-
edy and to summon assistance.
He had taken in much Of the situation
at glance. The early hour, the fact
that the BODIES were cold and that no
one had reported hearing the pistol
shots, convinced him that the couple
had entered the Park the night before
and that the tragedy was hours old
when he discovered 1t.
A glance at the form of the woman
told him that she was young, probably
not over twenty-six. and of pleasing
face and figure. A red smear on her
bosom and red stain along the left
side OF her waist told him where the
bullet that killed her had entered her
body.
She was attired in a drab dress skirt
and red and white shirt-waist. and
from the position In which the body had
fallen Policeman Flynn could see that
she had on black stockings and low-cui
shoes.
The dead man was also young, about
thirty-siX. of dark complexion. with a
small black mustache and black hair
He was about five feet seven inches In
height and was dressed in dark suit
with striped half-hosc ana laced shoes
She was lying, upon her side. with
the 1shirtwaist open. and had removed
her sorsets. evidently that her lover
might make more certain OF killing her
lie was lying across her body.
W

and addresses of the victims.
From these 1t appeared that the younI
