attendants, lay tho man who had sat
ut the dinner-table with me an hour
before, still extended ON the shutter on
which he must have been brought
there from the scene Of the crime, and
literally weltering in his blood. Some
of his clothes had been removed and
flung into . corner, when l arrived.

waistcoat of the murdered man had
apparently been stripped of together,
and lay on the door at the foot of the

towards the spot slowly and looked
round. No one was observing my
movements; every eye was turned on
