There was hatred in the look the mother gave the murderer as he entered the room, but Halie, cool and impassive, returned the glance with utmost indifference and with no show of pity for the woman his mad act has thrown into an awful grief. With Mrs. Branniga were Katie, an eighteen year old daughter, and her son Daniel. half sister and half brother respectively of the murdered girl. All were in tears. It was after 11 o'clock when the inquest began before Coroner Hart and jury.
