When assistance arrived on the scene it was found that Mrs. Mac- kay was dead.

Police Comb-out.

The police commenced to make a. thorough comb-out of the dis- trict, and in the course of their search. in a side lane, they found three $10 notes, three $5 notes, and one $1 note, all of which, with the exception of two of the $10 notes, bore the marks of blood- stains.

This find resulted in a closer search of the path, with the ro- sult that they found a coupon for five cents, issued by the Wing 'On- Company, and half of a forged $1 note.

The corresponding half of that note, continued Mr. Fitzroy, was found in the possession of the first prisoner.
