n little anmosity toward the man VINO IS
now dead. or the one who would soon
come between them. There was unques-
tionably jealousy in the breast OF Walton,
for. as above referred TO, he had written
the woman letters setting forth PLAINLY
his displeasure at the attentions she was
receiving from jenkins. Here are SHOWN
in this case two of the principal OF
all causes for crime-money and Jeai-
ousy. That the woman was really at
tachcd to Walton, there is now no doubt.
There is equal certainty that Walton
loved her. Walton, from what can be
learned. lived at the house, practically
at the expense OF Lizzie. The IS per
month secured from the man who was
murdered went quite a way toward MANI
tanning both Lizzie and Walton. 1t can'
therefore. be seen that in these iactS
there may have been motive Tor lhe
