fractured in several places and the
edges of bloody stone found by her
side fitted into the wounds on her
forehead and scalp. Lying by her

the hairs of man and woman, leading /
the coroner's jury to the theory that |

the murderer over the head with this
weapon and that he had snatched it
away from her and broke 1t over her
head. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict of murder by some person
unknown,
