As nearly ns can be judged it was
11.30 when a knock came at the door
and a man's voice cried; "Open the
door, or 1'11 break it in." The old
women, dressed only in their night
clothes, hurried to t he window to
gain a view of the intruder, who
kept on hammering for nearly ten
minutes. Then the lock gave way
and he burst into the house.
When the murderer broke in, Mrs.
Covell stood nearest the door, and
he addressed himself to her, using
her name before her marriage to Co-

"I want your money or your life,"
he replied. "And I avant more than
that too."
Thinking to save trouble, the old
women got their purses and :.ave
lhens up, with $2.50 in all. The in-
truder insisted that there was more
money in the house than .that and,
seizing Mrs. Covell, he pulled her
through the dcor and threw her on
the ground. Several times he kicked
her, demanding more money. When
told that he had all the money in
the house he kicked and beat her
with a heavy stick which lie carried.
Seeing this, Miss Lnwry seized n
stick, and, running out struck hint
on the head. The only result was to
draw the assailant's iti teetion to-
ward her. She turned and ran,
thinking to Sot into the woodshed.
In a few moments there was a
scream of n,tony. "i am sone."
