the murder. Buffalo was startled by
the news that Pennell's automobile
had fallen into a stone quarry near

Pennell died OF a crushed skull and
his wife of shock due to injuries.

next day. Apparently unable to find

dead. Then she called Bridget.
Investigators who swamped Fall

been spattered with blood. But they
found no telltale garment anywhere.

the prosecution had TO concede that II
might have come there in any one OF

OF the digestive tracts medical experts
determined that Mrs. Borden was
killed from an hour 10 an hour and
half before her husband. The muir

of neighbors sitting at their open
windows, with front and back yards in
their range of vision. and they saw no
one come or go from the time of Mr..
Borden's return from the bank until
Bridget ran for the doctor. Several
rusty hatchets and axes We're found
in the cellar or barn, but none OF them
had blood stains. The prosecution at
the trial disclosed what was TO have
