Growing Flowers Speak Of Love for Beauty

The warm August sun was shining

the moving machine in nearby field
Nature was at her best and flowers
were Dloomn g in the warmth OF mid
summer But the humble cottage
was deserted-deserte save by a SOL
ltary cat which sprang out to greet
the newspaper man and his friends
and tOrlOrn little bird of the yellow
hammer variety which was ineessant-
~ topping ct an upper chamber win
dow, where it had become mysterious
~ Gagged. All about the place were
growing flowers, sweet peas just be-
ginning to bloom as they clambered
up the sides of the rough clapboards.
The shades were tightly drawn but
everywhere peace and quiet re gned.
The broken country, the winding river
and the broad fields of growing crops
with comfortable farm houses scat
tered about betokened contentment
and peace with the world. Yet in
spite of all this, hardly week be-
fore tragedy such as had seldom
occurred had been wrought in the
midst of this haven of solitude and
Mary Lowell Towle had been found
slain in a manner so horrible that
people throughout the States had been
startled and then Mortified by the ter
ribleness of the crime, 1t was Satur-
day morning. one week from the day
that the tragedy had occurred, that
the newspaperman went to the scene
of the crime and there beheld the sur
roundings as they then existed. The
cottage is humble one and meagerly
furnished, but round about were the
touches of beauty which some hand,
probably that of the murdered woman,
had given the place in the form of
flowers growing perhaps by the great
rocks or in tiny beds in the rough lit
tie yard. William Kent. the owner of
the property arrived soon after the
Reporters representative and through
his courtesy the house was thrown
open for inspection The trail of
blood which led from the tiny pantry
under the stairs through the little
hall and on through the living room,
for which it was plainly seen had
been saved the choicest treasures OF
the house, and into the sleeping room,
had been washed away. Where mass
es of blood and hair had clung to
the wall paper, patches of plastering
now grimly showed where the testi-
mony of the frantic struggle had ex-
listed. But still there remained hor-
BILE traces of life blood. The paper
was still spattered and even the cell
ing bore scars of the struggle and the
dead woman's trunk was red with hui
man gore. Her clothes hung in the
closet and these too told mute but
terrifying .ale with their evidences OF
blood with which they were plentifully
besmeared. The horrors of the trag-
edy were still much in evidence and
