1t Was Enough to TRACE, Convict and Hang
an Ohio Murderer.
Cases in which man has been convict
ed of crime on purely circumstantial evil
dence are of frequent occurrence, but in
the majority of instances it would not be
difficult to point to at least one weak link
in the chain of guilt. A noted jurist re-
calls a striking case in which prisoner
was found guilty on testimony that left
no room for even the shadow of doubt.
One night an assassin entered droTer' 8
house in Ohio, killed the inmates and Sc
cured a sealed package containing 81 800
in bank notes. In order to conceal his
crime. he set fire to the house before leav-
ing it. The building fsyned slowly, and
the neighbors were enaDled to extlngulsh
the flames and to discover the murderous
work which had been done. The assassin,
before leaping over the fence, had torn
open the wrapper OF the package and flung
it on the ground. This was picked up by
the police, and marks of blood were found
upon it, 1t was the only clew in their pos
session. T
After "a hours the murderer returned to
the town. The police suspected him, be-
cause he had been mysteriously absent and
Wa8 known TO nave UccA lAtlHldu5 WILL Gilo
drover. They did not arrest him, but con-
stantIy watched him for four months. He
had been poor, but now seemed to have
money. In the course of week he mar
ried and went away on a wedding tour.
Two detectives followed him. Whenever
he paid hotel bill or offered money for
any purpose they secured the bank notes
which had been in his possession. Suisse
quently he made several journeys with
the detectives behind him and finally went
to Minnesota. There he paid out $40
bill with red thumb mark on one cor.
uer The police arrested him as soon as
they examined it. On the trial the torn
wrapper with it's blood mark was identi-
fed as having been in the drover's posses
sion. The bank notes, which had been
traced to the assassin, were put in with the
last one paid out by him on top. The
smear of blood on the wrapper correspond
ed precisely with the marks of the bank
notes underneath. The specialists mag
nifying glass revealed unerringly how the
murderer's thumb, in tsaring open the
envelope had touched the first bank note.
1t was circumstantisl evidence conclusive
of guilt. The murderer was convicted and

The disbursements aggregated s4,192, leav-

Chairman Beriah wilkins of the finance
committee reported that the treasurer's
report had been audited and found to be
correct in every particular.
Mr.. Archibald Greenlees presented the
report of the committee on bridges, OF
which he is chairman, as follows:
During the last session of Congress an

duct bridge, and this work Is now being
done. 1t is believed that the structure
when completed will be in first-class condi-
ton and sufficiently strong for any use to
which 1t may be put.
In view of the numerous railroad pro-
jects seeking entrance into the District OF
Columbia by means Of bridges across the
Potomac river, to be located somewhere be-
tween the present Long bridge and the
Aqueduct bridge in Georgetown, we deem
it wise at this time to declare our position
in the matter, as follows:
II. That we favor, and shall hall will,
hearty approval, the construction of what
is known as the Memorial bridge but no
other between the Long bridge lnd Acue.
duct bridge, either for steam or street all
road purposes, which will in its construc.
ton interfere with navigation.
"2. That the present and future com.
merce of the District demands the most
complete protection to our present water
front privileges and the free and unob.
structed navigation of the river
80. That the present bridge in Georgetown
puts a limit to tide-water navigation, and
therefore, the natural place for all railroa
bridges IN future is somewhere above this
point.

duct piers by such street railways as may
wish to unite the state of Virginia with the
