Robbery" said the police, as first
guess, but that was knocked IN the
head when a money belt was found IN
plain sight, containing $500, besides
many other articles of value.
Finally the knives were traced by
trade marks upon them. Thomas Will

before the murder. That these were
the six murderers, one for each OF the
intended victims, there can now De ho

marked for vengeance.
Their trail has been followed IRON
far across the seas to the hidden fast

evidently had sworn to kill. They MAJ
