floor was scraped in the hopes of finding
some show of blood stains, and also that
mud from the trench into which the drain
pipe leads was taken up in the hope of
finding traces OF blood.
So far as the police will admit there was
no blood to be found. The acting inspec-

mud will undergo chemical analysis. Then
trace of blood may show.
