fe were marks upon one end of td( bar believed to be blood stains and there was also plastered about these marks fibucus matter which might have been the gray hair ot the murdered man.
 It was upon the discovery of this bar that Dr. Wylie was sent for last Friday. After a chemical examination of the supposed blod spots he said they were simply marks of iron rust The supposed hair was only cotton tibers.
 When the result of the examination was announced, St. Claire was dis charged. A suspicious fact Is gre sented in the discovery of the bar. It is, however, not suspicious as to St. Claire. He said the bar did not be- long to him. He had never seen 1t before and he believed that the malice of an enemy had hidden it under the trunk. The body of Pratt was ex- humed for the purpose of examining the wounds. The top of the head was cut off by Dr. Wylie and brought 10 Phoenix, possibly to play a part in some future examination. "A circum- stance against Merritt was that the day before the murder he was seen by barber grinding a knife. Though 1t had been made evident that Mer- ritt was not in town at the tme of the murder, ths circumstance was in vestigated. The barber had said that he could identify the knife. This knife and another nearly like it Wer9 shown him, but he was unable to say which he had seen before
 Facts were brought out at the ex- animation which lead the authorities to believe that the murder was com mitted neither by a passing hobo nor an Indian. Whoever did it knew something of Pratt's customs. He knew where he kept his money and his watch and knew 1t 50 well that he could find his way to the place in the dark.
