the action of the coroner. Dr. Mixscll- was
there until a late hour,— and, with some of
the citizens, made a careful cxamlnatlou '
of the house where the crime wins commit-
ted. It was evident that the house had
been forcibly entered and that Miss Hills
was a victim of foul play. The body was
found on the parlor floor. There were nu"
merous bruises about It, and there was ev-
ery Indication that the woman had made .
a desperate struggle. Drs. Mlxsell and
Birch, after examining the body, were of
the opinion that she had been dead from
14 to 24 hours. -
The examination of the interior of the
house convinced the authorities and citi-
zone that the assailant had ransacked the
place from the collar to the garret. On
the stairs leading to one of the upper
rooms was found a valise, evidently drop-
ped hurriedly. In It were several articles
of no great value. Everything indicated
that Miss Hill had been dragged from her
bed to the parlor below and killed. I11~
vestigatlon showed that the assailant en-
tered the cellar by an open window. Up
to noon today no trace of the murderer-
liad been obtained.
Miss Hill was 38 years old. She was
formerly a schoolteacher, and, possessing
