Stone then proceeded to tell of
| the Italian woman and her story.
‘•The connecting link is this,”
I ic said, ‘‘the day after the imir
ier during the coroner's inquest
! iur bright young friend, Me
juire, noticed on Mr. Hoyt’s coat
l uu odor familiar to him as a rem
I edy used to burn, for whooping
j cough. The scent is strong and
unmistakable and clings ineradi
; cably to a garment that has been
1 worn even for a few moments
where the remedy is used. Mrs.
iiohbio’s children had the whoop
ing cough; she was using the
remedy the day the murderer
stopped at her little shop and,
threatening her with this very
dirk, forced her to deliver the
message he dictated to the police
station.
‘ ‘ It was a clever ruse and would
have remained undetected but
for the quick witted youth who
noticed the odor and remembered
it when whooping cough was
mentioned.”
A string ot lies, sneered
Hoyt, “made up by the notorious
street gamin who glories in his
jobriquet of liar!”
Still unheeding, Stone went
nn:
“In search for a motive for
the murder of Howland Trow
i bridge by Leslie Hoyt, I exam
ined the will of the deceased, and
discovered what I am prepared
to prove is, in part, a forgery.
The instrument was duly drawn
up by Judge Hoyt, as lawyer for
the testator. It was duly wit
nessed, and after—”
Fleming Stone paused and
looked fixedly at Iloyt, and tho
latter at last quailed before that
accusing glnneo.
“iLnd after, at his leisure, the
lawyer inserted on the same type
writer, and with greatest care,
the words, ‘and herself become
the wife of Leslie Hoyt.’ This
clause was not written or dictat
ed by Mr. Trowbridge. It was
inserted after his death by1 his
'awyer. ”
“You can’t prove that!” cried
Hoyt, springing to his feet.
“I can easily prove it,”..de
clared Stone. “It is written on
s new ribbon known to have been
put into the typewriter the after
coo the murder took place. And,
too, it is of slightly different
slant and level from the rest. Of
course, it was only by microsco
pic investigation I discovered
these facts, but they are most
clearly proven.”
“Gee! lie’s goin’ to brash it
out!” exclaimed FibSy under his
breath a* lloyt rose with veu
genifee in his eye.
Hut. the judge waved him buck
as Stone proceeded.
“I understand Mr. Hoyt claims
as an tftibi that lie wai in Phila
delphia that day.”
“I was,” declared the accused.
“I brought home an afternoon
paper from that, city.”
“The paper was from that city,
but you bought it at a New York
news stand to prove your case
should it ever he necessary.”
“What rubbish! I wrote Mr.
Trowbridge the day before that
l was going. The letter was found
in his pocket.”
“Where you placed it yourself
after the murder!” shot back
'■none.
“Ridiculous! I also tele
graphed to—”
“The telegram was faked. I
have examined it myself, and it
Is typewritten in imitation of the
| usual form, hut it never went
| through the company’s hands.
I That, too, you placed in Mr.
: Rowland’s pocket after—after
! the cane killed him! You re
j member, Mr. District Attorney,
a lead pencil was found on the
ground at the scene of the crime.
( am prepared to prove this pen
cil the property of Judge Hoyt.
And this is my proof: Until the
day of the crime Judge Hoyt had
been in the habit of using a pat
ent sharpener to sharpen his lead
pencils. I have learned from
Judge Hoyt’s Japanese servant
that the day after the murder
Judge Hoyt discarded that
sharpener, and used a knife. This
was to do away with any suspi
cion that might rest on him as
owner of the pencil. On that
very date lie resharpened with a
penknife all his pencils, and thus
cleverly turned the tide of sus
picion.”
“Also a clever feat, the finding
of this out,” murmured Whiting.
“The credit for that is due to
thfe lad, McGuire,” said Stone.
“At the time of the inquest the
B——— Mwwaw—»
boy noticed the pencil particu
larly; anti afterward, telling me
of his surmises, I looked up the
matter and found the proof.
Again, the man 1 accuse se
cured a handkerchief from Sery
ker's room and carried it away
for the purpose of incriminating
the butler. It seems, owing to
a past secret., the butler was in
the power of Judge Hoyt. How
ever, circumstances led suspicion
in other directions. The telltale
handkerchief seemed to point
first to the Swedish couple. La
ter it. seemed to point to the but
ler, Stryker, and, later still, was
used as a point against Kane Lan
don. But it is really the curse
that has come home to roost
where it belongs, as a condemna
tion of Judge Leslie Hoyt. This
arch criminal planned so cleverly
and carried out his schemes so
carefully that he overreached
himself. His marvelously com
plete alibi is too perfect. His di
abolical skill in arranging Ilia
spurious letter, telegram, news
paper, and finally a picture post
card which I shall tell of shortly,
outdid itself, and his excessive
care was his own undoing. But,
in addition to these points, L ask
you to hear the tale of young Mc
Guire, who has suffered at the
hands of Judge Hoyt not only in
justice and inconvenience, but at
tempted crime.”
Fibsy was allowed to tell lus
own story, and half shy, half
frightened, he began.
“At first Judge lioyi he

but t went, an’ I discovered in

That was funny, an’ it was wha

Judge Hoyt lie took me to di** '
er at. a restaurant, sayin ’ lie to*
a notion to me an’ wanted me
learn to be a gent’man. We

little cup foist, an’ then he p
some sugar in it fer me. Well,
seen the sugar was diffrunt—”
, “llififaront frnru what?’’ utlri
Whiting.
“From the rest’rant saga
That was smooth an’ oblong, a
what the judge put into my ei
was square lumps, an’ rough
on the sides. So I s’picioned siiin
pin was wrong, an' l didn’t drink
that coffee. I left it on the table.
An’ soon’s T reached the street
I ran back fer me paper, what I'd
left on poipose, an’ 1 told the
waiter to save that cup o’ coffee
fer evidence in a moider trial.
An’ lie did, an’ Mr. Stone he’s
had it examined, in’ it’s full of
—of what, Mr. Stone?’’
“Of nitroglycerine,’’ asserted
Stone gravely.
“Ifes, sir, Judge Hoyt tried to
kill me, he did.” Fibsy’s big
blue eyes were dark with the
thrill of his subject rather than
fear now. He was absorbed in
his recital, and went steadily on,
his manner and tone, unlettered
and unschooled though they
were, carrying absolute convic
tion of truth.
vv lien 1 seen umi queer sugar
goiu’ in me cup me thinker
woiked like lightnin’ and I knew
it meant poison. So I thunk
quickly how to nail the job onto
him, and I did. Then soon after
that I was kidnaped. A tele
phone call told me Mr. Stone was
waitin’ fer me in a taxi, and
when I flew meself to it, it
wasn’t Mr. Stone at all, but a
Japanese feller, name o’ Kite. He
took me to a swell house and
locked me in. If I tried any
funny business he gave me a joo
jitsy ’til I quit tryin'. Well, I
didn’t know whose house it was,
but I’ve senee found out it was
Judge Hoyt ’s. He lived with his
sister, an’ she’s away, but the
Jap told me it was another man’s
house. Well, in that house I
found one o’ them postcard pic
tures of Judge Hoyt in the Phila
delphia station. I didn't think
even then 'bout, me bein’ in his
house; I just thought maybe it
was a friend o’ hisen. But when
I ’zaruined that picture I saw

began to s’piciou he meant to
make me think sumpin’ what
wasn’t so. ’Course that could
only be that he wasn’t in Phil'
delphia when he said he was. And
ho wasn't.”
Fibsy’s quietly simple state
ments were more dramatic than
if he.had been more emphatic,
ami the audience listened, spell
bound.
Judge Iloyt sat like a graven
image. lie neither denied nor
admitted anything, one might, al
most say he looked slightly
nttiused, but a trembling hand
and a constant gnawing of his
quivering lip told the truth to a
close observer.

most often when the authorities brought

as we call It today, the "people" were

The origin of the expression harks
back to the days when violations of

frequent than today, when, particularly
In Kngland, the small man owned noth
ing of the soil while the fields, woods
and the meadows surrounding his home

lord. Venison was a sacred possession
in the eyes of the law and venison was
the most convenient loot of the poacher.
Thus John Doe and Jane Doe were ac

When Colonel House Swore.
Frctu the Philadelphia Tublic Ledger.
A London publishing house lias Just
got out a war book by Sir William
Orpen. Orpen spent nearly two years
In France as official British painter,
and styired with Augustus John the
honor of doing the peace conference for
posterlty
Slr William didn't like the great per
sonalities of the peace conference. They
were very small personalities to him ir
comparison with the fighting men.
There wras one exception—our own Col
House. Sir William found him "a
charming man; very calm, very sure of
himself, yet modest." He sat for Sir
William and asked the artist whether
he had painted President Wilson. "No,
replied Sir William.
"He then asked me whether I was
going to do so and I replied: "No," that
the president had refusr-d ir 'Ut. W-\said
‘Refused?’
"I said "Yes; he hasn't got the time.
" ‘What damned rot?' said the colonel;
‘he’s got a damned sight more time than
I have. What day would you like him
to come to sit?' '
"1 named a day, and the colonel said:
•Right? I'll see that he's here,' and he
did."

Swiss Lakes Disgorge Relics.
The recent drought In Switzerland
has lowered the lakes so much that
archaeologists are having a great op
portunity to examine the old lacus
trine or pile dwellings which date back
to the stone age. Old pottery is be
ing discovered In two lake dwellings
revealed on the shores of Lake Neu
chntel, says a cablegram to the New
York Times, and hundreds of piles in
perfect preservation and on which
these dwellings originally rested are
now clearly visible. Many persons
have volunteered help for excavating
the remains of these ancient dwellings,
which, according to Doctor Kellerchlef,
the Swiss authority on the subject,
censed to be Inhabited about the first
century of the Christian era. Numer
our boats, which apparently were
wrecked and sunk In past times, are
now visible.
Cement-Coated Nails.
Approximately one-tenth of the wire
nails manufactured are now cement
coated, according to II. A. Knight, who
writes on the subject to the Iron Age.
The nails are coated by shaking them
up In a hot tumbling barrel with a
compound consisting mainly of resin,
from which they Issue with a thin,
tough coating which greatly increases
their bolding power. The friction of
the driven nail -with the wood melts
the. cement and forms a glue, which
cakes fast the nail.—Literary Digest.

Must Pay Price for Success.
Rend of the lives of three-quarters
of the successful men, and you will see
that they started poor and became
successful without “pull.” If that is
being done today, as it is, you can do
It. But you can’t do It by souring
on the world. You have got to want
to succeed, and want to succeed more
than anything else. If you don’t want
to succeed enough, you will not suc
ceed. But it won’t be unfairness and
favoritism in the world that holds you
back. It will be your unfairness nnd
favoritism to yourself.—John Blake in
Chicngo Daily News.
