CATION pending before the court. Mr..
Eynon, it was stated. was a secretary

Mrs. Emily Faithful, sixty-threo years
old, last February at her home In
Congress Heights and struck her over
tho head with an iron bar and robbed
her of S1,7o0. She died as a result of
the injuries.

country to her sisters homo in this
city on the day OF tho crime and had
intended to marry her. He wanted
money for their honeymoon, and while
under the influence Of bad liquor that
he claimed was given him by a
granger he committed tho crime.
