Erbourne last year. is now en: Ceavouring to solve the mystery of the death of Miss Lawn at King- street, Cambridge.
Miss Lawn, who was 50..kept a small general shop at 70. King street and lived alone at the premises Eatly one- Wednesday morning she served a little girl with some bread, but afterwards it was noticed that the shop door was shut.
In the afternoon the same girl told Miss Lawn's sister-in-law that a side door was open. The woman's brother
entered and found his sister lying dead and gagged at the foot of the stairs. The til in the shop was empty and the upstairs rooms disturbed.
Although an auction mart was being held in the vicinity, not a sound of the tragedy reached the ears of any one of the scores of people who passed the shop at the moment the crime was committed.

China's active League became her not only as a great country, but because the spirit of the League was essentially the spirit of the Chinese, who were the greatest lovers of peace. The Chinese civilisation was built up on the central idea of upholding the supremacy of right and reason over force and might. He was glad to note the increasing interest taken by the Chinese Press in the League. because the continued anete of the League depended primarily on the support of public sinn in all

CRIME. RECONSTRUCTED, With the assistance of Sergt. Canning, of Scotland Yard, Chief Inspector Mercer reconstructed the crime on the scere and inter- rogated the dead woman's relations and other people in the neighbour hood of the shop.
The house is a two storey dwelling with a front attic and the last of a row separated, from a public-house called the Champion of the Thames by a four-feet passage giving com munication between King-street and a large open space known as Christ's Piece, at the rear of Christ's College The shop consists of a small apart meat with a semicircular counter Between the shop and a room at the

At the foot of the stairs is a door giving access to the passage between the house and the Champion of the Thames public-house. A well-polisted brass plate bears the name "Lawn." This door is separated from the garden gate by a few yards,
WEIGHT-FROM-WINDOW-SASH. One theory is that the assañact or assailants went into the shop osten-
sibly to make a purchase and locked the shop dour when Miss Lawn's back was turned. The disturbed condition of the shop points to Miss Lawn having tried to protect herself, and she had probably reached the door at the foot of the stairs, which is quite close to the shop, when she was struck down. No weapon was found, but a weight from a window. sash in the back room of the bouse is missing.
A number of med engaged in watering the tennis-court at the back of the house or Christ's Piece said they had been drawing water from a hydrant within 20ft. of the garden gate practically all day, but had heard no sounds of alarm.
A customer of Miss Lawn tells a strange story of the dead women's fear of some people who gathered at the band performances on Christ's Piece. 'Last Saturday, she said, Miss Lawn asked me il there was a band performance on the Piece. I could not quite understand the reason for the question, and said, 'Why?' She seemed really nervous and replied. "When the band perfor. maners are on there is such a rough crew who coize here that they worry
