1876 feet fr ON shore. The other fiye. had
gone inshore In skdfs toward the lily pads,
where the boat had been found, 70 drag
for the bodies with poles, TO which were
attached large ooks. Crabb stayed aboard
the steamer and watched their operations
and those Of a number OF other boats which
had joined in the search.
Il was near the bow OF the boat and hap
pened to look into the water on the SIDE
fuTthsst from the shore" said Crabb,
when | noticed something white on the
bottom. 1 called to the men in the boats,
1 see something. Bring me one OF those
hooks.' Charlie kerwin W up along
side and reached the pole into the water;
It caught something m kerwin and l
pulled up. When At got near the surface
OF the water | saw that we had hold OF the
body Of a woman. The hook had caught
in the skirt near the waist. Her head and
chest came up first. We took the body up
between US and put IL in the
laying IL on the floor, as the seat was 100
narrow. As we put il dow coagulated
blood began TO flow from the nostrils.
There was a bruise under the eye and the
lip WAS swollen and cut. Her hair was
party down and her right stocking hung
over her shoe. Her eyes were partly open
and we're bloodshot."
We're her face and hands muddy
NO, they were clean, with no mud on
them. Her arms were drawn up like this. y
The witness illustrated by bringing his
arms up 10 his chest.l when l saw her
in the water she was lying on her back

Charles Kerwin, clerk and bartender at
the Glenmore Hotel, was called. He cor
roborated the story told by Crabb as to
the finding of the body and its condition.
One of the girls stockings was down, he

piece of garter hung from il. He told Of
the rare which bad been taken in removing
the body to the hotel.
Horatio Seymour Getman, an UNDER
taker OF Frankfort, was called to the stand.
He c~orroborated the testimony of the
other two witnesses regarding the condition
Of the body, but characterized the fluid
which was flowing from the nostrils and
mouth az -purging, which is sometimes a
result of death from natural causes. The
chief importance Of his testimony related
TO the care taken in the transportation of
the body from the Glenmore Hotel. 1t has
been understood that the defence might
attempt to account for the condition of the
girls face and head by the fact that the body
was carried over a rough road from the
a wagon with hard springs. The undertaken
said that he had put the body in a box.
Under it was a mattress, doubled at the
head, "A over it waterproof canvas.
On crose-exsmination the defense quail
fled the witness az an expert and asked him
concerning the effect OF embalming fluid
on the lungs. His testimony that embalm-
ing fluid would enter the lungs was some
what nullihed when on indirect examination
the prosecution asked the undertaken some
anatomical questions concerning the arteries
from the heart to the lungs which he APP
parently had some d~ificultyi Ia answering
The last witness, and one Of the most i'm
portant TO the prosecution. was Sias Feeter,
the civil engineer who drew the maps
exhibited In court. His testimony was not
Of especial interest TO the crowd. Mr..
Feeter soon after the recovery of Grace
Browns body had made measurements and
soundings at the place where IL and the
boat were found. AZ Kerwin and Crabb
had testified, q pole had been stuck into the
water al the place where Grace Browns body
was found. The place where the boat was
found had also been located by the lily
pads. Mr.. FeeteF had made measurements
and soundings with the pole. 1t stood in
seven and one-half feet of water over a
muddy bottom.
Twenty feet further inshore the water
was only six feet deep. and twenty feet
further there was only five feet of water.
II Gillette had tipped over. as he told Sheriff
klock, at the place where the body was
found, a swim Of only thirty teet would
have brought him and the grit to a placetrom
which they could walk ashore. Mr.. Feeter
testified that in making the soundings he
walked within almost thirty feet Of the.
place where Grace Browns body was found.
At the point where the boat was found
among the lily pads, la5 feet west. the
engineer said that he found the water
was only three and a half feet deep, Gil
lette, according to the testimony Of Sheriff
elect Klock, had explained the accident
by saying that he was picking water lilies.
II the boat had tipped over here he and the
girl would nave found tn emselves in water
scarcely up to their waists.
