This home was just across a street from that which is occupied by the daughter of the deceased. It is reported that this relative failed to become interested in the whereabouts of her mother, although hei house had been burned down, and her mother whom she had known to live there, was missing. There was a considerable disturbance, of course, about the time of the discovery of this fire, and while no large crowd gathered up as sometimes will, yet there were many persons who got there before the building was entirely burned down. They heard no cries, found no interested relatives who were anxious to get any person or persons out of the burning house. Residents nearby have told that the fire did not begin at the fire place end of the building. They explain that the house had a front room in which was the fire place, and also a back room which had no fireplace. The old woman stept in the end where thene was no fireplace. The charred remains of her body were found lying within the remains of the fireplace in the front end of the building. The greater portion of those remains lay within the space occupied by the chimney of the house. , The house was burned at about six o'clock. Persons going down tc the train about one hour before that heard voices talking inside thi; house. After going to the train anc coming back up the street they sav the light of this fire that burnec the house. At first it was told that th< woman had spells. Later it hai been said that she was crazy bu was able to move about. No crie were heard from the burning build ing. There was no sign given thos< | who wont to the burning house t< try to save it, that would indicat that there was anyone inside th house to be taken out, nor any sigi that efforts would bo made to tak anybody out of the hou.s . From these facts many now. bo liovo that Susan Graham was killed . tha-t her body was placed in th i chimney and fire set to the. house t > cover up the evidences of the crimc o ? I MRS.
