Two or three members said they had
spoken to Cundall and one that he had
told him he did not seem very gay, but
that he had replied in his usual pleasant
manner. that he was very well, but had
2 good deal TO occupy his mind.
1t was some time past two o'clock Cthe
club having a large number OF members
of Parliament on its roll, was late one)
before the storm was over, and he rose 10
90.
The hall porter was apparently the last
person who spoke 10 him alive, asking
him if he should call a cab, but receiving
for answer that, as the air was now SO
cool and fresh, he would Walk nome
through the park, it being 80 near 10
Grosvenor place.
The sentries who had been on duty at
and around ST. James Palace were inter
rogated, aud the one who had been out
side Clarence House stated that he dis
tinctly remembered a gentleman answer
ing Mr. Cu2dalIs description passing by
him into the park at about n quarter TO
three.
1t was raining slightly, and he had his
umbrella up. He saw laborer, or me
thauic. walking some fifteen yards behind
him, and supposed he was gong 10 Ms
early work.
From the time Mr. Cundall passed this
man until the policeman found him dead
no one seemed to have seen him.
With the exception Of the medical evil
dencr which stated that he had been
stabbed 10. ana through, the heart by one
swift. powerful blow, that must have
caused instantaneous death, there was
little more to be told.
Judging from the state Of the ground.
there had been no struggle. a fact which
would Justify the idea that the murder
had been planned ana premehitated.
The workman might have easily plan
ned it himself in the time he followed
him from outside his club to the time they
were in the park together but he would
have had 10 be provided with an eXtrhor-
1inar;lv long knife, such as workmen rare

Lord PpnIyn sat listening 70 the differ
cnt opinions of men who had known Cum
dahl.
Amongst others. he noticed one young
man who was particularly grief stricken
and who was constantly appealed to by
those who surrounded him; and, on ask

"To-morrow." Pcnlyn heard him say,
and he started as he heard it, Il am go

You think, then. that this dastardly
murder is the work of an enemy, and not
for mere robbcry:' the gentleman asked
who had brought him into the club.
Il am sure Of il! As to the workman
who is supposed to have done it-weil, if
he did do il. he was only "A workman in

was murdered.
Would not everything point to him as
the Cain who had Slain his brother. and
