ment is not plausible. Evidence in
the possession of the police. however,
points strongly to this as the cause
OF death. A man whose name is in

that while looking for his cows on
the evening of December %. between
8 and C o'clock, he saw Breeze sit

the dead man perfectly. 1t is alleged
that Breeze was in financial Difficult
