Th Finger of Suspicion.
I HE foreman of the jury rose.
'Your honor," said he, "the
jury would like to ask Mr.
Stric-klrt-l a few questions."

yers. "Io you consent to the ease le
iuc reopened, gentleineu?"
.Jray and Arbuckle both signified
tLvir absent, and the judge called:
"Mr. Strickland.-
The defendant roe.
"Are yui -w inin? to take the st:nd?"
"Yes, our honor,"' said Strickland,
and he was sworn. Then Foreman
Trumbull asked:
"Mr. Strickland, several members of
the jury have reauested me to ask you
why you attempted to destroy the card
with the combination to the safe on it?"
"You need not answer that question
unless vou wantto," said Judge Iins-

Some of the Jurors Craned Their
Necks to Stare at the Defendant.

The defendant turned to the i
jury and said:
"i didn't attempt to destroy it."
In the jury bos there was a tre
mendous sensation, some of the meui
lers of the jury rising and craning
their necks in order to stare at the de
fendant. "You mean that you didn't tear the
card?"
"I did not."
"I'o you know who did?"
"No, sir."
"I 'id you know the card contained
the combination to the safe?"
"Not until I heard it in court. I saw
some figures on the card, but they had
n sisnifican' e to me. I never thought
of the card from the time I looked at
the address on it until I saw it here in
court."
The foreman asked:
"Io you mean that you didn't see or
feel Mr. Glover take it from your
lo.-kt?"
"No, sir, I did not," answered Strick
land. "I was almost blind with pain
at that time."
"That's all."
Strickland stepped down and resum
ed his seat, while the jurors whispered
e itt dly to one another.
I'avid Arbuckle then arose to ad
dress the court.
"W'ii.u your honor's permission," said
he, "I will recall Ir. Morgan."
Gray not objecting. Dr. Morgan took
the siand.
lie told of leiug called to the Trask
home alter the shouting, of finding
Trask beyond aid and of attending to
Strickland, who was lying on his back
0:1 the floor in a semiconscious stale,
moaning with pain.
"Did you examine his arm?" asked
Arbuckle.
"Yes, sir: I examined it very careful
ly while Mr. Glover and the police offi
cers were testing the saTe. The arm
h::d been struck a terrilic blow with a
heavy caue. The blow fell squarely
cu the wrist, dislocating the wrist
joint. Itoth bones of the forearm, the
radius and the ulna, were badly frac
tured. It was the worst fracture I
have ever seen."
Arbuckle continued:
"Now. Itt Morgan, in your opinion,
could the defendant have torn this
card, as you see it here, between the
time his arm was broken and the time
you arrived?"
Dr. Morgan's answer was:
"The hand was entirely paralyzed.
It would h.-.ve been a physical imjKts--s:!
ii:iy. assuming even that his mental
state would have permitted it. The
bones rrarent knit yet. At that time

couldn't have moved the nrnfor the
Land a fraction of an inch,"
"That's all. Ir. Monrnn." said Mr.
Arbuckle. and the i-hysician left the
stand. "Do you know where Mr. Glov
er is. Mr. Gray';"
"The last time I saw him he whs
in my office read ins." said Gray, aud
un attendant was sent for Stanley Glov
er. Jn a few moments he returned
with the youns m;in and Arbuckle re
quested th- latter to take the stand "to
tlear up a little point."
He approached Glover almost as a
suppliant for a favor. The youn? man
seemed to feel his importance in the
trial and granted the request of the
attorney that he shed lisht on one of
the dark places in the case, almost as
a sovereign misht confer an order upon
a subject whom he especially d'i:riied
to honor. A very important person
Tvas Mr. Stanley Glover!
"I'll be ulad to do anything in n.v
power." said Glover. There was a
smile of quiet self confidence cn his
face as he spoke.
Arbuckle's manner was courtesy it
self as he replied:
"Thank you. You remember. Mr.
Glover, that while you were waiting
for the police to arrive you happened
! to think of this card which you though:
niirht help the i!ioe."
"Yes. and I was right, too." replied
Glover.
"Indeed you were. Now, Mr. Glover,
you will recall that you proceeded to
irh Mr. Strickland's pockets in the
hoie of linding the card. It was in his
coat iocket you found it, I believe."
"Yes; side pocket."
"Now, if you don't mind. I'd just like
to have you describe that scene in de
tail." "lie was on the floor, lying on his
back," said Glover. "I was standing
over him, on the right side. As I lieni
over him and went through his pock
ets, he tried to push me away."
Here Arbuckle interrupted I:in:
"Th.iL is." lie aid. "he kept waidin
I you oSf like this." And he made vig
I orons passes in the air with his right
alm -
"ies, ' said Glover.
"Finally, however, you succeeded in
tretting the card out of his pocket, the
left side pocket of the coat, aud you
straightened up, with the card in your
right hand';"
"That's correct," said Glover.
"Uut before you had a chance to pet
the card out of reach he raised himself
on his right elbow and with his lefl
hand snatched the card out of your
1 and. Th-it's all right so far, isn't it?"
"Yes."
j "If I'm wrong in any of these de-
tails just put me straight," said Ar
buckle. "My memory fails me some
tinif." "All risht; I'll let you know when
you make a mistake." said Glover.
"Strickland snatched the card, then
he tore it,"' Arbuckle went on. "Now.
how did he tear it? lie had the card
in ids left hand like this. Kight?"
"Yes." said Glover.
"And he was supporting himself on
his other elbow like this. Yes?"
"Yes."
"Then he made a quick backward
movement like this tearing the card
almost in half? Is that it?"
The lawyer's acting was perfect and
held the-court spellbound.
"That's right," said Stanley Glover.
" Ami then Ton took the rare awy

from him. and he threatened yon,
didn't he, as you took the card?"
"Yes; he swore at me and said he'd
fix me."
"And, if I remember correctly, you
said that he made a quick pass for the
revolver like this?"
"Y'es, but it was out of his reach."
"That explains it beautifully. You've
cleared things up for us, Mr. Glover.
We're greatly indebted to you." Glov
er was about to leave the stand when
Arbuckle said:
"Oh. just one moment! Mr. Stenog
rapher, will you read the latter part of
Dr. Morgan's testimony, please?"
The stenographer read from his notes
Dr. Morgan's description of Strick
land's injuries received from the heavy
cane wielded by Stanley Glover.
"Question, by Mr. Arbuckle: 'Now.
Dr. Morgan, in your opinion could the
defendant have torn this card as you
see It here between the time his anu
was broken and the time you arrived?'
Answer: 'He could not.' Question.
'Y'ou are sure of this?' Answer: 'Yes
the hand was entirely paralyzed. It
would have been a physical impossi
bility assuming even that his nieutai
state would have ierinitted it. The
bones haven't knit yet. At that time
he couldn't have moved the arm o:
hand a fraction of an inch.' "
A thousand eyes were turned on Da
vid Arbuckle and Stanley Glover when
the former turned to the young man in
the witness chair and. liending forward
with outstretched index linger, asked:
"G'orcr, what did you do icith thai
?10.HJ?"
Had a painter sought a perfect model
lor a figure of terror he could have
I mnd it in Stanley Glover.
"What are you talking about? What
Jo you mean; What ?HMiiu?" he
screamed, rising from the chair.
It was now the turn of District At
torney Gray to speak.
"Your honor," lie said to JihIl'O Dins
more. "I ask a warrant for the jirres;
if this man as an accomplice to the
murder of Gerald Trask!"
Glover ran to the judge's tribunal,
lie cried out in agonized, fearful tones:
"No. no. your honor: it isn't true! I
didn't ki!l him! I took the money, but
I didn't kill him! Here's the money!
Take it. take it! I don't want it! I'll
plead gnilty I'll go to jail, but don't
arrest me for the murder. I'll roll how
it hr.pioiiod I'll tell everything. I
didn't kn w Strickland was coming.
I planned the robbery tlwt night.
When Trask gave ni" t!ie money I put
it in ihe safe, but I didn't lock the
sr.ftj I left it open he didn't notice
it. Then I came back to get the money.
I didn't know about Strickland it's
God's truth!"
"Mrs. Trask heard me come in. and
I choked her! Tint she's all right; she's
not hurt. That's not murder! I got
the money. Then I saw Stricklr.nd
come in. I didn't know he whs com
ing. I didn't. I swear I didn't! I'm
innocent! I'm innocent, I tell you! 1

Strickland planned the burglary. We
weren't working together. Ask him!
He'll tell you we weren't. I didn't
know he was coming. Ask him. He'll

lie ran across the room to where
Strickland sat entranced, like all the
others in the courtroom, and appealed
to the man on whom he had attempted
to fasten the stigma of murder for the
sake of money.
"Strickland, tell them tell them we
weren't working together!"
"Remove the man!" said Dinsniore in
calm, judicial tones, and two attend
ants bore off the struggling Glover.
"I didn't kill him! Don't railroad
me! I'm innocent, I tell jou! Don't!
Don't!" he shrieked.
Then the judge turned to the jury
and said:
"You may resume your deliberations,
gentlemen."
Trumbull, foreman of the jury, rose.
"We have agreed already, your hon
or," he said.
"Robert Strickland!" called the clerk.
Strickland rose and advanced to the
center of the room. "Prisoner, look
upon the jury. Jury, look upon the
prisoner. Gentlemen of the jury, have
you agreed upon a verdict?"
"We have," said the foreman.
"Aud how do you find, gentlemen?"
asked the clerk.
"We find the defendant NOT
