murder Of her husband returned a verdict
of guilty after being out an hour last
evening. Martin Thrush met his death
in his home on the night of April % last,

by Mr.. and Mrs Thrush. At the time
two other persons were in the house and
Mrs. Thrush claimed her husband had
committed suicide by shooting himself,
but the other occupants of the house
claimed not to have heard any shots.
This fact and the fact that the wounds
on the dead mans head were not such
as would have been made by pistol shots,
led to the arrest Of Mrs. Thrush. When
the premises were searched, a blood
stained chisel and hammer were found.

Casper Emmert and he was also arrested.
But nole prossequi was entered in his

CHAPTER VI.
Tobias GreGsOn Shows What He Can


Next day the papers were full of the
"Brixton Mystery" as they termed it,
Each had a long account Of the affair,
and some had leaders upon it in adj
dition There was some information in
them which was new to me. [ still
retain in my Scrapbook numerous clip
pings and extracts bearing upon the
case. Here is a condensation of a
few Of them:
The Daily Telegraph rem liked that
in the history of crime there had seldom
been tragedy which presented
stranger features. The German name
of the victim, the absence of all other
motive, and the sinister inscription on
the wall all pointed to it's preparation
by political refugees and revolutionists.
The socialists had many branches in
America, and the deceased had, no
doubt, infringed their umwritten laws
and been tracked down by them. Aft
er abiding airily to the Vehmgericht,
aqua tOfana, Carbonari, the MarchiOn-
ess de Rrinvilliers, the Darwinian theo-
ry, the principles of Nautilus and the
Ratcliff highway murders, the article
concluded by admonishing the govern
ment and advocating a closer watch
over foreigners in England.
The Standard commented upon the
fact that lawless outrages of the sort
usually occurred under a Liberal adj
rlinistration They arose from the I'M
settling of the minds Of the masses,
and the consequent weakening OF all
authority The deceased was an Amer :
lean gentleman who had been residing
for some weeks in the metropolis. He
stayed at the boarding house CT Nine.

Jolly useful little sailor hat in whatever
disguise. This time there is a fancy bow
and trimming of navy blue velvet. There
is a sort of bonnet of light gray soft felt
bOrderCd with fur and having peonyiike
rosettes of pink silk, with couple Of en-
pire plumes. The brim is laid in several
plaits, and the crown is soft and also
plated The effect of that hat is very
fine let me say. Hat or bonnet it may be
by the addition or omission of strings.
Two of the plaits are brought down very
close behind the ears.
There is a quaint little coronet bon
net, with the front turned up like a crown
and faced with blue velvet. On top there
is struggling velvet bow, some lace, and
that is all, but it Is very cute and becom-
ing. Little fiat, crowness straws will be
seen often on the young. What crown
there is will be of spotted surah, and this
same material fringed makes bows and
two little rOsett :, or more properly Co
cardes. One straw hat of this style was
bent down In pronounced slope over the
eyes, and upon the front was elevated
wonderful panache of four feathers and
large bow of gold colored ribbon. There
was a fiuted black chip, with border all
around of gray down. On one side was

plain edges and embroidered ones. Al
most everything in the shape of hat is
stylish. think there will be quite re-
vival of the old style flats for the
young, and the Duchess d. Uzes hat is
much liked. Straw turbans arc also shown
in great variety.
The incroyable scarf is not laid by for
good, find. 1t is to be worn to a consd-
cradle extent on capes and such coats as
will admit of its grace and beauty They
are not now confined to black alone,
though black MORE is still considered the
prettiest l saw one of pale gray MORE
ribbon, with a fancy trimming Of gold
galloon. AT the bottoms, which were
pointed, there were deep and full ruffles af
lace.
Lace and ribbons will unite this sea
son, as they have before, to produce dainty
things to set off plain toilets. ! may say
that scarcely woman in New York has
failed to have one black gown made up
this season of SILK or some one of the many
beautiful wool goods or fayetta silk or
henrietta silk warp. Such an incroyable
as L have mentioned would add grace
beyond compare to handsome black
gown. MATE LEROY.
