not come either from the window or the
door. My attention was speedily drawn, as
l have already remarked to you, to this
ventilator and to the Nbell-rope which hung
down to the bed. The discovery that this
was dummy and that the bed was
clamped to the floor, instantly gave rise
to the suspicion that the rope was there
as q bridge for something passing through
the hole, and coming to the bed. The idea
of a snake instantly occurred to me. and
when coupled II with my knowledge that
the doctor was furnished with a supply OF
creatures from India l felt that l was
probably on the right track The idea OF
using a form OF poison which could not
possibly be discovered by any chemical
test was just such one would occur
to a clever and ruthless man who had an
eastern training. The rapidity with which
such a poison would take effect would also,
from his point of view, be an advantage.
1t would be a sharp-eyed coroner indeed,
who could distinguish two little dark pune
lures which would show where the poison
fangs had done their work. Then l thought
OF the whistle OF course he must recall
the snake before the morning light revealed
II to the victim. He had trained it. prob
ably by the use of the milk which we saw,

would put it through this ventilator at the
hour that he thought best, with the GER
tainty that It would crawl down the ropeI
and land on the bed. 1t might or might
not bite the occupant perhaps she might
escape every night for a week. but sooner
or later she must fall a victim.
II had come to these conclusions before
ever I had entered his room. An inspec-
ton OF his chair showed me that he had
been in the habit of standing on It, which
of course would be necessary in order that
he should reach the ventilator The sight
OF the safe, the saucer OF milk and the
loop OF whipcord were enough to finally
dispel any doubts which may have re-
manned. The metallic clang heard by Miss
Stoner was obviously caused by her step

Ben w. Herring.

One of the best known citizens in
this portion of the county, Ben w.
Herring, died of senility on Monday
evening, November 81, 1905, at the
home of his brother, Joe Herring,
near Union City.
The subject of this notice was
born in Montgomery county, Tenn,
December %, 1924, and lived there
continuously, with the exception
of the four years that he was a
forty miner in California, until the
war between the States. He then
moved with his brother, Maj. Jos.
Herring, and mother, to the coun-
try near Union City in October,
1865, where he resided until death
changed his abode. He leaves also
another brother, Fope Herring.
Mr.. Herring was therefore res
ident of this county for forty years.
He was never married, and by many
considered somewhat eccentric in
his habits, but to those who knew
him thoroughly he was man OF
many generous and good impulses.
He was just and honorable in all
dealings, and that is principle
too often overlooked or minimized
in the lives of men. We all have
our shortcomings, but in the great
assizes some good deeds or motives
will be found which were almost
lost to mankind 1t is a hopeless
soul which has no redeeming traits.
and hence we take it that there is
much more humanity in man than
we are sometimes inclined to be-
lieve. Viewing things in this light,
the gentleman whose earthly life is
no more will be revealed to us per.
haps with more of the good and
true in character than many of us
had known. He was regarded very |
highly by his friends.
Burial and funeral services we're
held Tuesday at the old City Gem
etery. Rev. Rhames was the Off
