murder last fail % his brother Charles.
The body OF the elder brother was found
lying by the roadside with a slip cf pa =
per pinned to a sweater upon his per-
son, containing directions that his life
insurance go to Leroy. Certain circum-
stances pointed to suicide, but the evil

that he was with Charles when last
seen alive. and that experts identified
the handwriting on the slip were the
principal evidences of his guilt.
