It ran at anything that came within reach, took up stones in its mouth, and broke its teeth in crunching them, picked up sticks and shook them as a terrier would a rat, and occasionally bit its legs and body. After continuing in this state for some hours, the poor animal died in great agony. —The investigation into the Hull murder case in New York shows that neither Mrs. Hull nor herhugband ever went into the basement of their house.

The visitor tried vainly to induce Mrs. Hull to go down stair!? and see what manner of woman was cooking her food* but Mrs. Hull at length consented to have the cook sent for, that she might look at her up stairs.— N.
