room Where the.mfirder had been committed
sad diseimered tbatMr. Simmonds had been
sitting -with 'lli back towards the window
at thaniess he was abut, and so true had
been the aim, that the bail sped through
the heart, 'colliftfe sly ser`viltit in two, as

tutine. The library Watt on the second
door, and situated , e) I ha north wing of the
mansion. To. gain access to this window
, --the only one the room contained—the ,
murderer must have encountered great
ditfirkilty, unlets.he Used a ladder to reach
it, There was but one other Way, which
wea..,,to climb to the window by the liaden
water spout. I exantined the ground be
neath the window, and could see no sign of
a ladder being [diced tithe ; juot a trace of
footsteps were visiSle,tatid I came to the
conclusion that recourse was had to the
spout. I procured a ladder, and placed it
betridot he waterspout, and made a careful
easulitustion or It froin the ground up to
t he library window. , .
I yrse aeon midetedthat the murderer bad
Wade nee of that 'Moore, to reach the win

Lit bore the finger marksl the assassin—
each gager having mole an impression on
the metal. When , I had ilesbed this part
or tbe examination, I sat dotrit end ponder
ed well aver the matter. Lhad made two
very Important discoveries ; one was, the
assassin must have fired the weapon with
his left band,' for I was perfectly convinced
that nolnatosould have bold himself by the
water spout with the left hand, and reached
the IrledOW with Outright., so is to enable
tit& to fire stain ohjoetin the middle of

While reading, and where he was found
l'shated when discovered in the mornitrok--,
Now, what could I dodoes from this mount,

left handed. -My reatlon for this ionviction
wis a good one. None but a left handed,
itirscill quid have made so fatal a shot from

The kitchen door , leading out Into tie

she had prehehly . Abu - when leaving the
inansion, anti mane upona clump Of bashes,
where were strewed Some scraps of newspa

please of a London paper.
While meettiatleitlly playing the pieces of
newspaor id my pocket, I oast my eyes
around the spot, and presently they alighted
on a square out kinas boide, of about four
ounces capacity.. I picked it up—the cork
was in it, and the bottle contained a limpid
liquid, perhaps two ounces. A label on it
designated that it contained chloroform. I
opened is and was soon eoweinoed that such
was the caeo. The label bad on , it the busi
ness place of an apothecary well renown to
me. I conaThded to keertie bottle; Vor the
purpose of tuteertainlttg nro had tinrChaapd_
it and its contents.
I hid no dohbt now that the subtle drug
bad bee'n used ae a means to attlyeri tre
mates of the mansion while the sniirder was
committed. The woman hod probably put
the• servants to sleep t trd her husband, from
the outside,,cometilred the dastardly deed.
The retain fie dia not enter the house and
do the died while the servants were rendered
insensible, was kndliebly owing to the feel
that Mr. giiiiionds InvarieblY IsiAmA the
library door When he retired at niglit. The
fact must have been known to the fisseiliik,
hence the mode he adopted to socotn i plish
his object.
I obtained no further clue t in filit
thought I bad sefficieut for my purpose. I
come to the Colleting conclusions, and con-.
templated acting upon them :
Some intelligent person who desired re
venge on Mr. flihnuenda had hired anoilorr
person and his wife to do the deed he him
self probably 'shrank front. I had every
reason.. Co ettepectllpurice, Obdyke as the
principal in this segOr, end It wee my object
Ira to end out where be raddled% London,
and then to take measures to ferret out this
left-banded murderer.
The raises I wished to see Maurice Ob
