Melvyna was lying her Back the floor near her sister with her Skull fractured from the left Temple around the Back the head to a Point just above the right ear and her Throat was Cut from ear to car. A bloody Case knife Lay by her evidently the weapon which had made the fatal Gash.

They informed him a belief prevalent among them that if a murderer could be brought to touch the murdered person the latter would bleed at the place touched and they wanted Jack Thomason s guilt innocence established by that test. Or Hudson endeavoured to prove to them that this was Mere superstition but he soon saw that to satisfy some the test must he made albeit others declared that they would not be satisfied with that lest no matter which Way it was decided. Or. Hudson found Jack to Hoinesn in the crowd outside the House and summoned him to the critical test.
