Dr. GllZebrook gave n vivid word-pic-
ture OF how, from the nature OF the wounds,
the condition of the room, and other cir
cumstauccS. he judged Jobn Wesley Hall
had been murdered. The murderer evi-
IDENTIFY came into the little shanty while Hall
was dressing to go to church, and struck
him from behind. The first blow was
inflicted with a brick, thrown with great
force. 1t crushed the hunclback's skull
az though il had been an egg-sheil.

cripple with one of the heavy oak chairs

terrible force IL had been used Ut was
splintcred, broke and lay In fragments on
the floor. The assassin then proceeded, 1t
is believed, to ransack the place. He used
the brick to smash into fragments lie little
iron safe, iu which Hezckiah Prather kept
his savings. Hezekiah is the dead mans
cousin aud together they kept bachelor s
hail in the little structure.
While searching the premises il is thought
the dwarf returned to consciousness and
struggled with the murderOus intruder.
Then it was that the latter used the razor
with such deadly effect. DR.. Glazcbroos
then explained how the cuts aud blows were
inflicted by lcftbanded person.
