It is not considered possible that the murderer remained in the carriage while the train stopped at any way station, for passengers were likely to enter at any moment. It is not known positivel _ whether robbery was com- mitted, fin, although the woman’s purse was empty near the body, and no valu- ables were foundin her pocket. her dia- mond brooch remained fastened at the throat. It is supposed she had quite a sum of money, but this is only con- .jecture.

It was found that the skull had been crushed in by a couple of heavy blows. There was evidence of a severe strug- gle before the victim succumbed. There was no trace whatever of the murderer. tl'he most astonishing fea- ture of the crime was the fact that the Irain's longest run between sta- tions was only five minutes, and no- body had seen or heard anything to excite suspicion.
