Remarkable Story of q Crime.

the first strand OF rope about hts neck. Because
the woman in whose behalf he has done all this
has been weak, he had neither doubt question
that she would share in the knowledge OF his
villany and aid him 10 escape.
Here he made woful error: she suspects him
from the first and charges him with his crime to
his face What followed is, far as I am aware
unique in the records Of criminal literature. To
appreciate correctly il must be remembered that

Of her wrongaoing stared her IN the face. What
