AS Seth approached the spot he told
tim as was with him to stand back,
being as trey would tramp up the clews
and that if emmy person come emmy
closer than they was he would arrest
them as accessories after the fact.
Seth he examined the ground very
critical and finally he hollered out,
Hal l have found human track of
bootsp Jest then AMI, who was in
the crowd, called out to Seth that them
was the tracks he had made when he
discovered the blood. Seth told AMI
to keep his mouth shet and tend to his
own bizness unless he desired TO be
arrested, so after that AMI KEEP purity
! quiet
Seth after keerful examinashion of
/ the spot stated that in his opinion
| foul crime had been committed. He
said without doubt sumbuddy had been
| stabbed to deth and the murderer who
ever he was had drug the body off
| somewheres and concealed it not fur
from the scene of the crime. He said
that there wassent eny doubt in his
mind that the motive for the crime
was robbery, and that whoever was the
victim had resisted and there had been
a struggle and then the victim had
been kid in cold blood and robbed af-
forwards.
Seth then returned to Bingville and
commanded everybuddy present to re-
turn with him and to not go back where
the murder had been committed under
emmy circumstances or he would jerk
them up and clap them in the town
hall lookup for interfering with Of
| fcer.
The first thing Seth done after he
had got back to Bingville was to make
house to house canvas from one end
| of the town to tother to see If emmy
person was missing, but to Seth's deep
| disgust he found that all the inhabitaH
| in Bingville could be acctd for and that
there diddent appear to be ennybuddy
in Bingville who had succumbed to
murder. Seth then conclooded that who
ever had been murdered must be a
resident of some other nearby town or
somebuddy who lived near Bingville
and had been lured to their death on
some pertext or other.
At this junctchure a bright idee oc-
curd to Seth He made up his mind
that if he could find the body it might
throw some light on who the viclotim
was, so he returned to where the muir
| der was committed and begin to circle
around in the hope of finding the
corpse. But Seth diddent find what he
was looking for. After he had jug his
self all UP by briars and had nearly
slept on a blacksmith snake FIVE feet
long Seth give up his search and re-
turned to Bingville.
After this Seth shet hlsself 10 at
home and told his wife he diddent want
10 be bothered by emmy person, mcleod
| ing herself, while he was engaged in
solving the murder mystery by deduck-
shion, whatever that IL, For a hull
day Seth was buried In deep thort and
| that evg he announced that he was
agoing to spend a few nights at the
scene of the crime watching for the
murderer to return. Seth said that
strange as It might seem q murderer
most allus returISs 20 where he had
committed a murder, being as somehow
or other he was drawd back by a Pc
cooliar fascinashion he couldn't resist.
It was SetfIs opinion that whoever
| done the killing would come back and
then he would capchure him dead or
alive.
Well, Seth watched all night but
nothing turned up, He also watched
the two follering nights, but the muF-
dereF diddent come back as Seth thert
he would, so after that he give it up
for the time being and said he weuid
haft to resort to some other means to
track the criminal to earth:
Seth says all he desires is 2 ieetie
mite MOTE time on this case and he will
bring the gilty party to justice, We
hope he win,
