house to the home OF Henry Cowell,
three doors away, and brought him to
see what was done and to summon
| help.
Mrs. Monaghan was dead, however
in a few minutes. and when DR..

to do. Mrs. McGogan ran to Hack

dressed as soon as she could avoid Nc

several places on the neck and face,
but none of the wounds are serious.
The Monaghan house presented
terrible appearance. Blood covers it
from the pavement to the attic. The
blood from Mrs. Monaghans wounds
spurted out over her daughter and
Mccormick, covering them from head
to foot, and smearing the carpets,
walls, door and furniture. The bath
room walls and fixtures are covered
with blood, and big pool Of blood is
on the floor where the woman lay
when she died.
