and deserve my fate"

! headquarters, where he was measured
and his description taken for the gallery
When the inquest opened. DR.. Larkin
w. GlaZebroog was the first witness. 1t
was decided TO be unnecessary 10 have all
the witnesses examined and only two
other told about the killing. DR.. Glaze
brook testified: II found a woman well
nourished and apparently in good health
! She was fully dressed. In examining the
! waist / found a cut in the left breast
about two inches long. It extended into
! the body and just punctured the heart
! Another, the largest wound was in the
throat, and extended from ear to ear
| 1t was four inches deep and severed all
| the organs of throat. There was a severe
cut in the back of the neck which ex-
tended so deep that it nearly met the
injury of the throat. The woman's death
was due to hemorrhage."

at 349 Pennsylvania Avenue, was the

or razor with which he was hacking at
! her throat There was blood coming
! from somewhere. l heard the woman
kind of groan and the man dropped down
beside her, saving, If you are not dead
| yet III finish you. 3"
DO you see the MANI" asked Coroner
| Carr.
The witness looked around the room
until his eyes rested on Horton. There
! he is was the reply
! Nathaniel ]. Davis, a companion of the
| preceding witness. and also from Brook
| lyn, next took the stand and substan-
tiated the statement of Jacobs.
Coroner Carr inquired of Davis if he saw
! the murderer in the room and the witness
promptly picked Horton out. The latter
as before, responded to the recognition by
a grave bowling of the head.
The jury was not long in formulating
! a verdict and decided that Jane Nichol-
| son came to her death from a hemor-
rhage resulting from knife thrusts in the
throat and neck and that in their belief
George William Horton inflicted the in
juries and that he be held for the action
of the grand jury.
