For the last year the preacher had resided at Darien, where he was pastor of a Baptist church. His former wife had lived in Hlghwood for the last four years, in the same house with Pethke, the murderer. The house was built and occupied by Mrs. Breakwell, and Pethke was boarding with her, before she was legally separated from her husband. It was because she refused to return to her husband that he secured a divorce on the ground of desertion.

In the morning Pethke went to Waukegan. and when he returned seemed much cast down. Mrs. Breakwell said he had been drinking and that he said to her: "Our home Is gone. We must get out of here.

He has driven us out. I have got to go tomorrow, and you can only stay a few days. He did it." At the same time it chanced that the Rev. Mr. Breakwell was In Hlghwood for a short vacation, and was visiting his son, Samuel J.
