aunty, dear!" and shut it.
II have opened the door between my room
and Mrs. Mulls," she said. ''I have found
something. can't appear in this matter

She led me into the handsome room, and
went to wardrobe. There, from beneath
other dresses, she drew plainly cut coat. or
redingote, OF thin black cloth, with many
buttons down the front, and spread it on a
chair. About the height of the knees piece
was torn away aud a button gone.
Then she took the bit of cloth from her
pocket. fitted it to the rent and la id the but

"The piece of cloth found in dead Mrs.
Jeffries' hand came from this garment" was

"Yes," said, "she must haye disguised
him in it. But-why-"
"Coosey!" said Kitty. 'Mr. Jeffries could
not get into this. Mrs Null wore it herself.
Mrs. Null killed old Mrs. Jeffries. The
nephew knows nothing about it-guesses
nothing. This wicked woman wanted to
marry him when he had inherited the estate.

arrested at the station on her return, and it

She made full confession. She had con-
ceived the idea of numbering the old woman
that her nephew might get the money, and
she had hoped the poor roof-mender would
be charged with the crime.
She was a fend in female form, but the
thought that had driven woman to tho gal

Judge Kimball Reads a Severe Lecture to
Quartette of All-Around ''Hobos."
Four soiled looking '.hobos," who gave
their names as Thomas and Arthur Robin
son, Andrew and Mulroy McClernan, were
charged with vagrancy by Mounted Police
man Nebb in Judge Kimball's court yester-
day.
1t was brought out in testimony that the
men had broken into barn on the Bladens-
burg road and were snuGly ensconced for the
night when their slumbers were rudely dis
turbed by the policeman.
How long have you been on the road?"
asked his honor.
''since September 90" answered the leader
Of the quartette.
What brought you TO Washington?'
Il am bricklayer and came here to find
employment. We went into the barn because
1t was cloudy and rainy"
You will find" said Judge Kimball, ''that
the District of Columbia is a bad place in
which to spend the night in any such manner
and you had better avoid it in the future.
You made big mistake by coming here. In
default of bonds each ofs you can go to the
Workhouse for thirty days"

enterprise and vim ought to be praised
by all.
