It must be kept in mind, however,. that the prosecutions of the ten men a now awaiting trial. while the out- growth of the killing of Forsythe, have actually little to do with that `tragedy. It is pointed out that never T was there a case in which a man was, [done to death as Dan Forsythe was,, and no arrest made or action of any' kind taken against the other party. How Did Forsythe Know? The first question the police have to ask themselves is -how Dan For- sythe, living fteen miles away from the Hodge farm house, became ac- quainted with'the fact that Hodge {was going to be paid a large sum of `money at a certain time on a certain `night. The evidence already given shows that Dan `Forsythe left his [brother's house on the Thursday morning. V Dan had told a man named Mitchell t at he was going to be pick- nr] nn kn a 'rnn nor an 4-lnn 4-nn n~Fl 1' While the complete story of events I - leading up to the killing of Dan For-l ; lsythe. the Beeton robber, at the hands .}of Alec Hodge, and of the ght-to- pdeathistruggle in the darkness of the "farmhouse, may never be completely -ltold. sufficient is now known as a .lresult of the police investigation to form a fairly accurate account of `just what did transpire. By piecing together what evidence is now at hand, linking up_ circumstances re- I vealed 'bit by bit, an enterprising re- porter of the Toronto Telegram un- foldsa story which has. received the }commendation of the police. One of -:the_ officers who has had a leading lpart in the investigation, after read- ing the theoretical report, said: Not very far wide of the mark. while another commented: I think that s `just about what happened.
