covery, who, upon visiting the place found everything as described. The body had become mummified, and a gold ring on one of the little fingers was the only thing noticed. The corpse was not unwrapped, as the parties had doubts as to their right to investigate the matter. The justice of the peace, and his constable, in whose precinct the body was discovered, was notified. Notwithstanding this notification not a solitary officer has made a single effort to investigate the case. They evidently considered that is the victim of what undoubtedly was a cold blooded murder, was nothing more than a poor prospec- tor, he was not worthy of any attention.
