1t was in this way that the mufderer

further progress was interrupted py ms
own imprudence in stealing the dead
mans silk hat instead of contenfins
himself with the more valuable and less
easily traced booty. Mueller belng a
German. did not fully realize how un-
usual in England was certain style
of hat, like the ordinary silk hat or the
period, but with a much lower crown.
He got a halter to take piece out
of the dead mans hat; the queer, Ior-

the halter helped powerfully to convict
him.
Public feeling seems to have been un-

carly known as a Mueller cut down. .
