 It is claimed that this so infurigated the accused that he murdered Peter, probably hitting him with piece oi pipe. The story is a most sensational one and many alleged facts, in detail, cannot be published.
 The first witness called was Medical Examiner Bartlett. He testified to having been notified of the finding of the body, on September 18th, 1904, and having gone there with Deputy Coro- ner Pond to investigate the case. Cor oner Mix was on a hunting trip in Maine at the time,
 Dr. Bartlett said that the body had been found in a crevice on a field be- low, or at the foot of Ivy street. The body was lying face downward in a 'V' shaped place and was partly cov- cred with earth.
 He described in detail the clothing on the body, which led to the identifica- ton of the dead man. The mans left fore arm was above the top of the head. The right arm was beside the body and between it and the body was a piece of broken water pipe, The pipe was about fifteen inches long and about six inches in diameter. The doc. tor said that it might have been used in killing the man.
 Deputy Coroner Pond next testified and his evidence was corroborative tC that of the medical examiner. He went into more complete details as to the establishing of the Identification through description of the clothes, etc
 Mrs, Stephen (Stan&slaw) Vankosky with whom the dead man lived on Bas sett street, was the next witness. She testified that Peter came home on the night of December 3rd, 1903 about tho time of the christening, in an angry mood He had his working clothes or and changed them to a black suit Witness identified a lock of hair iron the dead man as being similar to tha of Peter's.
