were really there, or my spirit haS
come back to haunt the place.
Presently the head jailer came to
me and told me that fre had taken
place in the neighborhood the night
before, in which two strange men were
so badly burned that death was but
a matter OF hours with them. One Of
the men, when he was told that he
could not live, sent for the minister
and confessed to having committed the
murder | had been convicted OF. His
story, which was subsequently confirm
ed by the other burglar, was. substan-
TALLY, that they had come to our
town in quest Of proper prey They
had learned that Miss G. had many
well-to-do boarders in her house, some
of whom carried money with them in
large amounts, and they had determin-
ed to rob the house. The hour was
late, and the night very tempestuous
and black, the very elements seeming
to favor the wicked purpose of those
men. Their plan was 10 so to Miss C's
room and secure the keys OF the
house. after which they could loot at
leisure. Accidently, however. they
awakened the landlady, who immedi.
ately set up such an unearthly scream
ing that it was found necessary to
despatch her without more ado. One
shot was enough for the dastardly
purpose, and the poor old creature,
who had never done any other harm
than to ask for her just dues, went
quickly over the river The robbers
then paused for moment to ascertain
IL anyone in the house had been arous-
ed by the shot. Concluding finally
that the storm had drowned the re-
port of the pistol, they determined to
leave at once, as the murder had so
unnerved them that they had no
thought of theft. but cared only to
get away. AS they were going out.
however, they discovered a man lying
in the hall at the landing. near Miss
C's door, in n drunken stupor Then it
occurred to them to drag the man noise
lessly into her room, and leave him
there with a pistol on the floor near
his hand. Their motive in doing this
was to divert suspicion from them
