| fourth cat, extending across the neck,
| ripping the heavy muscles, and seycring
the jugu!ar vein, and the principal artery.
| This cut was about five inches long and
an inch and a half deep .
Were the cuts such as might have
been made with a dull Instrument" asked
| MIR. Birney.
Yes They were not such as a razor
would have made
II have no desire to go any further
| with DR.. GlaZehrook at present, your
honor said Mr.. Biruey There is an
other point in the case, however, where
Mr.. Peter decided to wait until Dr.
| C;lazebrook's recall To cross examine him,
and Mrs. Mary Kreglo, the mother of the
murdered girl, was called to the stand.
MRS. KREGLO ON THE STAND
| Mrs. KreglO was attiret in deep mourn
ing aud her pallid features showed signs
or the suffering she had endured. She
was lead to her seat by Crier Joyce, and
tsworn.
| The murderer gave one fleeting glance
in her direction and then allowed his eyes
to rest on the floor. Mr.. Birney made the
examination very brief, and the lawyers
for the defense were equally as consider
ate. Mrs. Kreglo simply told of hearing
the screams and finding the bleeding body
Of her daughter in the brook.
What was your daughters full name?''
| asked Mr.. Peter.
Elsie Mary Ellen" replied the mother.
| Policeman Copp, whose home is in Rock
| Creek, short distance from the scene nf
the murder, was the next witness. He
| told of being aroused by his wife, who
| heard the screams, and going to the spot
| where he found several OF hers. He
| saw Mr.. Collins pick up the revolver, and
took charge of it, turning it over to Police
man Bradley. He also found the button
from the undergarmeut lying In the stream
| The boy, Thomas, told him OF seeing a
/ man rush through the bushes aud he found
4
hundred feet. He finally lost them, how
ever, and gave up the search.
IDENTIFIED THE REVOLVER.
Alfred Walford, the son of d n. Walford,
dealer in sporting goods, from whom the
revolver was purchased, was then called
He brought with him the registry book oi
the firm, in which the sale Of al
deadly weap pons is registered, and ex
] planned the manner in which it is done al
the two stores.
did you sell to Irwin L. Ford the
revolver before you?" asked Mr.. Birney
~ object" said Mr.. Peter, who ex.
planned that he did not think it proper
that the book should be introduced as
! evidence, even in such roundabout way
Mr.. Biruey withdrew the question.
Mr.. Walford fully identified the revolver
| as having come from his house, however
. by the marks and numbers on the butt.
The young clerk at the store, Mr.. Kraak
who made the marks on the revolver, anC
the entry of the sale in the book, was neXI
| called. He said, on cross-eXamination
| that although he did not at the inquest
recall having sold the revolver TO Ford
he had since remembered the circum
| stances. and was confident that the pris
. | oner at the bar was the man who bough
the revolver.
Morgan j. Boteler, ON whose place a
| Burnt Mills Ford lived. was the next wit

: one Ford had in his possession on Saturday
eight days before the murder. and which
he had borrowed to fire off, and had re

| in Fords possession. and said that il
