Dcepeng Mystery.

The suicide of Donohue caused the
continuance of the inquest until next
Tuesday. 1t leaves the murder far
they ir'n CO. from solution That
Donohue was not married to the dead
woman is the belief of the authori-
ties. The note left by him, however,
is not fully believed, for both Cap
tain of Detectives Peterson and Sher-
ff Barnett feel that Donohue was
concerned in the murder and that he
shot himself when he knew that he
must explain under oath his relations
with Mrs. Donohue and his haste in
making application for her money
and life insurance.
Donohue was last seen about s
o'clock this morning, He was then
in his home, but was undressed, He
did not know until after that hour
that the police suspected him Of
knowing more than he had told,
That he shot himself as soon as he
became aware that he was under the
eyes of the police seems certain.
Neighbors of the Donohues state
that as long as a month ago Dono-
hue contemplated suicide. He stated
then that he was worried over his
wifc's disappearance and thought he
would end his life. Mrs Donohue
was last seen alive on the evening of
June. On that evening she dined
with her supposed husband, The
chemists report shows that the wo-
man was killed within two hours af-
ter dinner.
The note left by Donohue will
change the attitude of the police to-
ward Gustave Ahlstedt, alias Arkell,
who has been held on suspicion. 1t

How Crime Was Discovered.

The discovery of the crime was due
to the suspicious of the hackman,
George w. Collins, who had in mind
the numerous robberies which have
taken place about Boston recently
and surmising from its weight that
the trunk contained silverware, no
titled the police. Collins reported
that he had taken the trunk from the
North station this morning it hav-
ing come in from Somerville on q
local train. The hackman stated he
left Jordan and the trunk this after
noon at Hancock street.
Sergeant Michael Crowley was de-
tailed to go to the house and mvesti-
gate. Jordan was not in, but the Of
ficer was shown the back room on
the second floor which Jordan had
engaged and found the trunk. About

manded to open the trunk.

Jordan Opens Trunk.

Jordan did not appear nervous or
alarmed, but he refused to open the
trunk and it was not until after con-
siderable argument that he produced
'he key to the trunk and inserted 1t
Il, the lock. Turning his head Jordan
threw up the cover of the trunk and
then sank back on his knees, burying
his face in his hands and sobbing
Sergeant Crowley staggered back
aghast at the discovery, for in the
open trunk before him lay a sickening
mass of hacked flesh, a woman's torso
filling the greater part of the trunk,
while pieces of flesh from other parts
Of the body were stuffed into the cor
ners.
The interior of the trunk was be-
spattered with blood. There was no
covering of any sort over the re-
mains.
Jordan submitted to arrest without
protest and was taken to station No.
8 and locked up. Giving his name
and address, he declared the body in
the trunk was that of his wife, and
said he was perfectly willing to tell
everything concerning the case.

CHAPTER VIII
THE LAST RESORT

Five minutes later Wheelock was
skulking homeWard through the
rows of lemon trees in the grove
that he owned by virtue of Rand's
clemency; Peggy Grierson was rid
ing hard and fast through the night,
lashing her pony to its greatest
speed, that she might, by making
haste, leave behind her that scene
the remembrance of which brought
hot tears to her eyes and burn
ing pain to her heart; and Rand
was striding swiftly and angrily
down to road toward his ranch cot
tage.
His anger at Wheelock was yet
hot within him, and the resentment
which he accorded the girl for her
recent behavior did not tend to
cool her rage. To him her attitude
was absolutely inexplicable. One
would have imagined, he thought,
that he had been the man whose
conduct had provoked the encoun-
ter Of the past half hour.
He reviewed his part therein,
and, in the light of the girls atti-
tude, found it utterly distasteful
and unwarranted. Bitterly he re-

For he was thoroughly disheart-

his departure, urged thereunto by
the pistol which Rand had taken
from him, the girl had hurriedly
mounted her pony. Rand had

formed apology on his own behalf

The muZZle of the gun enforced

an eagerness only tempered by the
pain he was enduring and con-
fronted Rand and the girl, his reg

scowl of hatred and suffering-a
scowl so dark that his face seemed
almost black in the moonlight. He
moved impulsively toward Rand,
his hands opening and closing con-
