Then came the information acquired by the detectives. One of them, a little more original than the rest, had acted upon th. 3 idea of the dead woman's hair having been sold, and made enquiries among the hair dressers ; he was successful. One of that fraternity had purchased a quantity of bright golden hair from an elderly lady in deep mourning, evidently the same woman who had engaged the cottage from the agent. The hair was produced in court, and in the part of a newspaper in which it was wrapped when purchased. A portion of the same newspaper was lying on the table in the front room of Errol Cottage, leaving but little doubt that the hair was indeed that of the dead woman.
