OF the Incidental equipment. Unable to
recover the outfit, which he asserts he
merely lent TO his son fer year, the
time having expired, Michel resorted
to the courts. To-day he swore to a
search warrant, which the police served
on the son this afternoon. The con-
test viii be settled in the Police Court.

head wrapped in a blanket, partially
burned. The gas tube had been insert
ed in her mouth when asphyxiation
was planned. The candle by the bed
was still burning. The furniture of the
room was partially destroyed.
The old lady had written note, in
which she told of her dependency and
loneliness. She directed that various ar
ticles of furniture be given to friends
and neighbors. The paper was charred
so that some of its contents could not
be deciphered.
