and the exit point of the ball had been
found in the muscles OF the back TO

improbable that such wound had

that the shot had been fired from

the foot of a staircase II was prob
able that the shot had been fired by
some one higher up on the stairs.
There were no marks Of powder. The
bullet, 3s callber, had been found in
