permitted the stranger to curl up
in the barn he questioned him. Mr..
Mahon says that the man 40 arous-
ed his suspicious that he was afraid
to give him shelter until some sort
Of a story had been told.
In his answers to Mahon the
tramp was evasive and rnsatisfac-
tory. He declared that he had
worked in the neighborhood six
years before. but had in the mean
time forgotten the key to the roads.
He added that he had been tramp
ing about all day in search Of work
but had been unsuccessful Mr..
Mahon finally decided to let the
stranger sleep in the barn.
At sunrise Wednesday morning
the coiored man was away. There
is no trace Of his movement from 6
o clock until 9. when he visited the
house of Jesse r. Mulvanev, which
stands at the intersection Of the
road leading to Creek road. He
knocked at the rear door. Mrs.
Mulvaney answered AL he want
ed was a match, but there was
none in the house, GO lighted
lantern was secured from which
the tramp lighted cigar. At this
juncture Mr.. Mulvaney appeared
and the colored man asked him for
work. Mr.. Mulvaney told him
that he had some wood that would
have to be chopped in few days,
The visitor seemed anxious enough
to secure the job, saying that he
was tired Of working on farms
where the pay was only $12 or $13
month.
"But you cannot live here" said
Mulvaney, who did not like the
looks Of the man. The tramp said
it would be hard for him to secure
a living place, but decided to try
Dilworthtown, about six miles dis
tant. Leaving Mulvaney's house
the wanderer trudged down Bir-
mlngham pike, but when he reached
Strod' Mill he was informed that
he was going in the wrong direc-
ton. Thereupon he turned about
and walked over to the pike. Keep
ing the road, he was obliged to pass
the Morrison house. 1t has been
proved that he never failed to call
in at farm house upou arriving at
it. 1t has BEEN calculated that he
would have passed the Morrison
house near 2 o'clock in the after
noon. To a tramp here was an
ideal situation. William Washing
ton Morrison, known as "Wash,"
the woman's husband. was in the
fields at work. The old father-in-
law was angling, according to his
statement, for small fish in the
Brandywine Creek, Stella, the
wife, slim and good-looking, was
busy with her housekeeping work.
There has been nothing to show
that the murder was premeditated.
The woman did not have any ene-
mics, and one who did seek her life
would have chosen a different way
Of killing than Draining her with
the rude boot block.
No one saw person enter the
farm yard. Nor did anyone notice
a sinking figure leave the little
house. The murder could have
been perpetrated without the slig hit
est suspicious being aroused, and
robbery is not always the only mo-
tive that prompts tramp to attack
a lonely woman.

In view of fact that large proportion
Of specialists have failed to demonstrat e

to cover In their special practice. and that
many practiclng or advertising physicians
have little or no knowledge of the science
of medicine, 1t is but natural that tho pub

In reply 10 this enquirer. and for the
benefit Of others of our readers who may

satisfied ourselves by painstaking invss-

and has Justly earned % most enviabe rep-

Inasmuch as the newspapers confessedly
