Der land and out Of sight. His wife
watched his departure with phleg

During the afternoon a neighbor, on
his way across the country, called to
pay his respects to Mrs. Crue. He
knocked on the door and then, with
out further formality, turned the knob
and entered. Mrs. Crue sat in her
kitchen talking with a stranger The
neighbor excused himself. said he
merely stopped to say word of greet
ing, and then withdrew.
Stranger Opened Door.
Later in the afternoon Miss Jennie
Carr, well-known Groton young
woman, also called. She knocked on
the door several times. Nobody an.
swered. Then she noticed that the
curtains of the front window were
lowered. But it occurred to her that
Mrs. Crue might be somewhere in the
the house, so she continued to knock.
Presently the knob of the door turned,
the door opened a few inches, and a
man looked out cautiously at her He
was stranger to her. She asked II
Mrs. Crue was at home. He replied
curtly:
NO, she has gone to town for the
afternoon, to make some calls"
Then the door closed without
further ado.
OF the history Of the day, which i'm.
mediately follows. the husband is the
only authoritative source. He returned
from Aver Junction shortly after sun
set Much to his surprise, the house
was quite dark.
Failing to secure an entrance
through any door, he went to one of
the windows and vainly tried to raise
it.. He concluded that his wife had
taken excellent precautions to prevent
the entrance of strangers. Yet the
drawn curtains, staring him blankly
in the face, made him uneasy. He
walked around the house to the cellar
door. Through the gloom he groped
his way with caution, always sensing
impending disaster. This promonition
grew stronger and stronger as he
mounted the stairs to the kitchen.
Now he proceeded more warily than
ever, listening for any significant
sound. The house was quite silent,
and al last he struck a match and hur-
ried to the lamp. The light partly re-
assured him.
Then he decided to look into his
wifes room, and with the lamp In one

the bedroom, and holding the lamp
high above him. he stared into the
room. The hue led figure OF Mrs.
Crue lay on the carpet. Her head was
splashed with blood, and her clothes
were wet. A quilt partly covered her
lower limbs. The woman was quite
dsad-and 1t was murder. The hus-
band ran out of the house.
Presently the family of Augustus
Woods. the nearest neighbors OF the
Crues, were disturbed at their supper
by a peremptory knocking. Woods
hurried to the door and opened It.
Crue stood on the stoop, bare.headed
and wild.eyed.
Somebody has murdered my wife!"
he shouted. Come quick"
Groton became tremendously ex-
cited over the deed, and the medical
examiner and the constables immedi.
ately began to make their investiga.
tions. They found two bullet holes in
the woman's head and another in her
breast. But there were no signs of a
struggle, and there was no robbery.
The officers retained the bullets and
took impressions of the imprints in
the snow outside the house. Crue was
questioned closely but he proved an
alibi. Then the officers surmsed that

sets village 25 years ago, there lived
a family named Crue. Their home was
a small farm house in a particularly
lonely location, three miles from other
habitations.
Crue was a teamster, whose duties
compelled him frequently to go to
Aver Junction, several miles away.
Sometimes he left home early in the
morning, and remained ia his labors
until sunset. His wife was left under
the protection of a dog who spent a
large part of the day sleeping near
the kitchen stove.
Mrs. Crue was an ordinary New
England housewife. That is to say
she was purely domestic, worked from
morning till night at household du-
ties, and knew the outside world only
slightly. The desolatioE of her domi.
clle was second nature to her; she ac.
cepted 1t as her fate. When, day after
day, she was left practically unguard.
ed 1t never occurred to her to be
frightened.

whether or not he asked for aims
surlily and pecred about as though to
learn of her unprotected state, she
showed no fear, but gave him food and
told him to be off before her husband
came down stairs and detected her
charity. Moreover, Mrs. Crue, by rea-
son of her daily domestic exercises,
was strong and hardy enough to feel
selfreliant. Invariably she held a
stout broom during her talks with the
occasional vagrants. She believed
thoroughly that this traditional house
hold weapon would serve her faith.

Rumors Of Domestic Troubles.
From time to time there were ru-
mors among people who knew the
Crues. They said the husband did not
pay as much attention to his wife as
he should, and they mentioned other
names, but the wife never answered
impertinent questions. She told curl
GUS people that she minded her own
business and expected her peighbors
TO follow her example. Whereupon
they shrugged their shoulders, and
any possible sympathy for her they
might have felt expired.
On the morning OF January II, 1880,
the home of the Crues was surround
ed with snow. The adjacent woods
were thin and scrawny, and the whole
Immediate world was bleak and chilly.

offense succeeded another. He stole

returned to Charlestown for two years

New Hampshire state prison. He was

was known as an habitual criminal.

the crime. He said that he had never

her. He told the court that he left

to have refrigerator cars enough TO
send them out over all the other
railroads as 1t would have to do, to
take the place of the present private
car system, and no railroad would
undertake to be responsible for prod
ucts shipped in its refrigerator cars

would be that the producer would
