He protested pro-tested that he was innocent and said the blood stainsupon bis clothes were made the night before when be had been seized with a violent spell of bleeding at tbe nose. Adhering to one of these patches were a few gray hairs, and these the officers are certain came from tbe old lady's head. What the motive for the crime was is hard to conjecture. conjec-ture. If it was robbery the assassin was frightened away before he had accomplished his purpose, as a wallet wal-let containing nearly $1000 was found lying beside the old woman, and there was no Indication that the house bad been ransacked.
