She related her previous experience with Bucholz and confessed to entertaining at one time a decided regard for him, which regard was, however, not unmixed with fear.

She also related several incidents, in which Bucholz, after having gone to South Norwalk, had visited the saloon and had been very lavish in spending his money.
"He was here," said the girl, "only a few days before the murder, and he drank a great deal.

He appeared to have plenty of money, and spent more than fifty dollars here at one time.

He seemed wild and excited, and talked about the old man in a manner that frightened me.

When I heard about the murder from the young servant that used to work for Mr.Schulte, I could not help thinking that Bucholz had something to do with it.
