During the coroner's inquest it
developed that a blood-stained rag
was found near the bottom of a bar
rel of waste on the second floor of
the building in which the tragedy
occurred, and Emerson was discov
ered to have sent a blood-stained
suit of clothes to the cleaner to be
cleaned. A blunt iron instrument
bearing traces of hair and blood
was also discovered on the second
floor. Finger prints on Mrs. Emer
soh's arm were declared by physi
cians to have been inflicted before
death.
Mrs. Emerson was last Seen alive
about 2 o'clock on the afternoon of
the tragedy by friends who called,
at her place of business to visit her.

few minutes before the discovery of
Mrs. Emerson's body. s
'Charles Emerson, father of the
