at wy ‘ peared on Jamieson Avenue.” _gfAMOUS CRIMES: PART TI Toronto murderess | couldn't stop talking By RON POULTON Telegram Staff Reporter When the wreckers cut a swath for the Gardiner Expressway through Toronto’s Parkdale district the night winds raced unhindered through the empty rooms of a house at the foot of Jamieson Ave. + Small boys clambered through its gaping windows and thrilled to the creak of its doors before the walls came tumbling down. If they had known the story of this house they might have thought the wind was whispcring of something nasty done on the night of October 6, 1894.

Once, he said he had seen no- thing but the moustached fig- ure of a man standing in the shadows by the door. In the end, he hinted that he knew who had done him in, “But mum’s the word,” he muttered. And then he died.
