the transom was open, the doorkey bro
ken and window unlocked-unusual
circumstances in such cases. A further
examination disclosed bruise over the
right ear. A diamond pin worth SIIoo
was missing, as well as a wallet, usually
well filled. The mans face was not dis

death by gas. There was so little smell
