slept at the store.
Saturday night he left the store, not
notifying Mr.. Veale Of his absence Be

he returned. and entering the store,
slammed the door behind him. Mr.
Veale. hearing the noise, suspected at
once that some one was trying to rob
him Of the large amount OF money he
mad IN the store, and went to the build
ing to find out what was wrong.
Entering he heard Il noise and fired
IN the direction from which 1t came, at
the supposed burglar 1t proved to be

through the abdomen, the ball passing
entirely through his body.
