WEEDS, WEEDS, WEEDS
Weeds Grow So Thick Along The Way;
Their Height Hides Crime So
Thew Say.
(Communicated. }

(Communicated.)
There's weeds that have grown higher
than the tsllest mans height;
Weeds that would screen him COM
pletely from sight
These weeds. in lot where they're
both tall and dense,
May hide tracks that lead up to the
BTsndon's back fence.
Did these weeds screen the murderer
as he slow made his way
Towards the home of the woman be in
tended to slay?
Was il through them he crawled as he,
safe screened from view,
Gloated with glee Ger the deed he'd
soon do?
Did the slayer creep through them TO
the fence inIthe rear?
Was il there ne watched and waited
till he saw no cause to fear
That his presence would be noticed
while he price board away
And made his way to the kitchen
where he pounced upon his prey?
Did these weeds screen the slayer of
the woman VINO, alone,
Was pounced on and murdered in the
humble Brandon home?
No growth of rank weeds in African
or Brazilian jungle ever reared theic
tops to loftier heights than do the
weeds in the lot in the rear of the
Brandon home. Has this wilderness
of towering weeds been entered to see
if there are any footprints, trampled
weeds or other evidence that might
exist that would betray a prowler s
presence in place where no one, I'M
less he was on mischief bent, would
care to enter Have the planks in the
reai fence been examined to'see if any
of them have been pried loose from
their lower fastening, so as to admit
of it being swung aside until sufficient
opening was made To admit of the pas
sage of a PERSONS body? THIS way of
entry might have been resorted to in
preference to climbing the fence and
being observed by neighbors while do
ing it.
II John Snowden be the slayer, sure
ly, too, he must be fool as we'll as
fiend to have ventured to leave the
premises by the front way, when the
safety screen that nature provided in
the rear offered safe exit from the
scene of the crime.
