The Oficial investigation Of the az
fair showed two things; First, that
there was a trampled place on the
lawn. but no footsteps leading to Il
except from the house. so that the
prints were presumably made by Shell
ley hin \: secondly. that the shot.
which ierced shelley's dresslng-gown
and TRinseot. was not hred from the
window butfrom near the door. leading
TO the irresistible conclusion that II

This also accounts for shelley's state
ment that his pistol would not after

The next day the whole party. in a
condition OF extreme nervous agita-
ton, escaTed to the house OF Mr..
Nancy. a friend and neighbor. who
was also sollcitor-general for the
county.
Shelley declared that the assassin
was a man called Lesson. into whose
hands one OF his Irish pamphlets had
fallen and who had sent Il to the gov
eminent. He added that a mysterious
stranger had on the following day
gone round Tremadoc and told the
story to the tradespeople. saying that
Il was a russ OF Mr.. shelley's 10 es-
cape from the place without paying
his debts: an explanation unhapplly
not inconsistent with the facts: though
MFR. Dowden says that this cruel as
sertlon Is amply dlsproved by the state
OF nervous excitement In which Shell
ley was found next morning by the
agent Williams. Aiterward Shelley
used TO say that the internal pain he
suffered from originated from the
place where the assallant's knee had
pressed against his side: and there
