. . .
Banker's : 'Wife Collapses as Verdict
Is Read-New Trial
Asked.
In Watseka , Ill. , Dr. Wiliam R. Mil
ler and Mrs. : Lucy R. Sayler both were
found guilty of manslaughter the other )
day. Dr. Miller was sentenced to
twelve years and Mrs.Sayler to three
years' imprisonment in the peniten
tiary. John Grunden , father of Mrs.
Sayler , tried with the other two fo : : '
the murder of Banker John Byron Say
ler , was found not guilty. Twelve bal
lots in all were cast to reach the ver
dict. Two members of the jury de
murred , holding out for an acquittal : :
for Mrs. Sayler for many hours.
As the prisoners entered the court
room Mrs. Sayler and Dr. Miller look
ed expectant and confident. So sure of
acquittal were they that earlier in the
day both had packed their trunks pre-
paratory to leaving the jail. In strange
contrast to her mother's self-confidence , ,
Golda Sayler , the young daughter of
the convicted woman , entered the
courtroom at the same moment weep
ing bitterly. As the judge uttered the
verdict against Dr. Miller Mrs. Sayler
paled noticeably , and when her own
sentence was read fell over upon her
daughter's shoulder and wept. Dr. Mil
ler showed no sign of emotion save for
a slight twitching of the muscles of his
mouth. Mrs. Miller uttered no sound ,
but was plainly overcome.
Grunden took his acquittal as phleg-
matically : as he ignored the trial pro-
ceedings. "I never knew Dr. Miller
until I came to Crescent City three
days before the tragedy , " said Grun-
den. "I simply came up to visit mjr
children. , I expect never to , see my
daughter again . , for I won't live much
longer. "
Dr. Miller ! refused to make any state
ment. The verdict is universally re-
ceived in Watseka as satisfactory.
Counsel Free P. Morris for the defense
eaid that an appeal would be made and
he expected it to be granted.

After a desperate battle of conflict- !
Ing emotions , the instinct of self-pres- !
ervation and a sense of honesty , a

merly of Chicago , a stenographer in

most gigantic coal graft scheme the
history of Indiana. Six big coal com-
panies are concerned in the alleged

Gross , junior member of the firm ;
Rhodie Jackson , clerk : John H. Han-
rahan , engineer at English's Hotel ;
Fred J. Yoss , engineer at Claypool

porations in the sale in the coal short I

CHAPTER XVI. - ( Continued. )
After this enigmatical remark he
hurriedly left the room , for the pur
pose , without doubt , of escaping fur-
ther questioning. His demeanor com-
pletely puzzled Jen , who could not
make : out the meaning of : his conversa-
tion , Evidently David knew something
which he was unwilling to reveal-
something which might lead to the so-
lution of the profound mystery which
enwrapped the death. of Maurice , and
the extraordinary disappearance of his
body.
The more Jen thought about the mat-
ter the more perplexed did he become.
The recovered devil-stick found in the
grounds of Mrs. Dallas , the saturated
handkerchief found in the Bedroom of
the dead man ; and now the * unaccount-
able hints of David that he knew some-
thing likely to throw a light upon these
mysteries , joined with an equally un-
accountable refusal to afford such rev-
elation , all these things puzzled him-
but as it was impossible , in the absence
of actual knowledge , to come to any
reasonable decision , Jen determined to
seek Jaggard , and see how he was. If
Jaggard could only recover his senses ,
argued the Major , he would be able to
say who had stolen the body. More-
' . the who
over , , in Jen's opinionthe person
cpmmitted the second crime would most
probably , by the force of analogous rea-
soning , have committed the first.
To the Major's surprise , he- .found
that Jaggard had recovered his senses ,
and although still weak : from his acci-
dent and long insensibility , he was able
Jen was puzzled by
to talk : fairly well.
this sudden recovery ; and he expressed
himself forcibly to the housemaid Anne ,
who had been watching for so long by
the bedside of the sick man. The wom-
an-with the shrewdness of her class-
gave her opinion as to it3 reason.
' has
"Ever since that handkerchief
been removed , sir , " said she , earnestly ,
"Jaggard has got well. I' do believe ,
sir , that the scent on it kept the poor
, dear stupid. " .
Another light was let in on Jen's
mind. Here was the handkerchief again
-perfumed with the devil-stick decoc-
tion of poison by Dido-applied by the
hand of Etwald , and its design was 'evi-
dently to keep ' Jaggard in a state of
stupor , and prevent him from making
dangerous disclosures. Dido and Et-
wald once more in partnership. Jen
was more convinced than ever that the
pair were at the bottom of the whole
terrible affair. ,
"I am glad to see that you are bet-
ter , Jaggard , " he said , while standing
by the bed.
"Yes , sir , thank you , sir , " replied the
man , in a weak : voice. "I'm sorry , sir ,
but I couldn't help > myself. I was
drugged , sir. "
"I guessed as much , . " said jen grim-
. .
"
ly. "And who drugged you ? "
"Dido , sir , " replied Jaggardr faintly.
"I guessed as much , ? ' said the Major
once more.
CHAPTER XVTT.
Exhausted by the few word's ' he had1
spoken , Jaggard fell back : on his pil-
lows in a dead faint. Jen left the pa-
tient to the tender attentions of Anne ;
and withdrew to seek Davidl He- found
him in a melancholy mood , pacing up
and down the lawn before the window
pf the smoking-room. On perceiving
1
his guardian , Sarby turned' pal'e , for
he thought that Jen had' ' come tocon -
tinue their previous conversation , and
to force his confidence.
"Well , David ! " said the newcomer ,
with significance , "I have mad'e one dis -
covery without your help. know wno
drugged Jaggard. I have learned' : who
I stole the body of Maurice : : ! ' "
' "Then you know more than' do , " re- !
plied : David. "My knowledge extends
only to the death ; not to the- seizure- of i
the body. "
"And you refuse to aid me ; " said the
Major , reproachfully ; "well , keep your '
secret. I may be able to do without
your help. But , " added Jen , fixing a
piercing glance on the young man , "I
notice that you do not ask me the name
of the person who drugged ! JaggardL" '
"Because I guess the name. "
" ' "
"Ah !
"Mrs. Dallas , " said David : , faintly.
"It was Mrs. Dallas. "
Jen drew back a step- and looked at
his ward with marked surprise.
"No , " he said , at length. "Airs. : : Dal-
las has had nothing to' do with it. ' * :
"But I thought from what you said :
of the handkerchief diropped. : , in the I
"
=
room -
"That being the property of Mrs. Dal-
las , she had lost it there , " interrupted
Jen , smartly. "No. I told you also
that Isabella had confessed to having
dropped it at the time of her midnight
visit. But now I know that she told
me a lie ! "
"Isabella ! A lie ! Impossible ? "
"Not at all , " rejoined Jen , coldly. "I
can understand her reason for telling ,
the lie. She wanted to shield- "
"Her mother ! " cried David , quickly
interrupting in his turn.
"Your mind seems to run on the
mother ; David. Can you prove by any
chance that she committed the crime ? "
"No , Uncle Jen , I can't. I have my
suspicions. "
"It pleases you to he mysterious , Da
vid. Shortly I shall insist upon an ex
planation. You owe it to me-your sec-
ond father-to tell the truth. You owe
it to your dead brother's memory-for
assuredly Maurice was your brother. "
David stared sullenly' at the ground ,
but in a moment or two he lifted his
head in a defiant manner. ,
"I owe you much more than I can
ever repay , " said he , in hard tonea "A.11
, I

the same , Uncle Jen , I cannot reveal , .
even to you , what I know. If I did so ,
you would be the first to blame me. "
"I don't "
understand you.
"I don't understand myself , " said the
young man , despondently , "save that I
am the most miserable man alive. "
"You must be , if you know who killed
Maurice : : , yet refuse to confess , " re-
torted Jen , with some heat. "Will you
not tell me the truth ? I ask you for
last time. "
"And I answer for the last time that
the truth is not mine to tell , " replied
David , coldly. "If you doubt me ques-
tion Etwald. " N
"What ! that criminal ? ' I believe
that out of jealousy he killed Maurice. "
"Oh , " said Sarby , sardonically ; "and
out of jealousy he stole .the body ? "
"No. Dido did that. Jaggard has
just informed me that it was Dido who
drugged him. Why did she drug him ?
To steal the body of my poor lad.
Why did she steal the body ? To con-
ceal the crime committed by Et wald.
I firmly believe that Etwald stole the
devil-stick , and with it killed Maurice. "
"From a motive of jealousy ? "
"Precisely. As you know , the body
was stolen before the post-mortem ex-
amination could be made. Why was
this ? Does 'not your own reason find
an answer to that question ? "
"No , " replied David , still obstinately
unconvinced.
"Why , " said Jen , with a nod , "if a
post-mortem examination had been
made , traces of poison would have been
discovered. The poison would have
been proved as identical with that of
the devil-stick. Thus , beyond all doubt ,
we should have learned that Maurice
had been killed by the devil-stick. To
avert the discovery , and to prevent the
analysis of the poison in the body ,
Dido , under the direction of Dr. Et-
wald , committed the third crime. The
man has some power over her. What
that power may be , I know no more
than you do. Although , " added Jen ,
with an afterthought "you may be able
to explain. "
"No. I have no ideai why Dido skould
serve Etwald. "
"Take care , David. . You are forcing
me to believe that you are acting in
this way from an unworthy motive. It :
is your duty to aid me in discovering
and punishing the murderer of Mau-
rice. Yet you leave me to do all the
work , and refuse your assistance in
any way. Unless you alter your man-
ner , and take me into- your confidence
regarding the reason of thisstrange
behavior , a breach not easily mended !
may occur between us. "
He. paused , waiting for his. ward1 to-
make some reply in defence of his con-
duct. The young man neither moved !
nor spoke , but , paler than usnal1 ; he
stood before the Major with his eyes
on the ground. More in sorrow than
in anger , Jen looked at him ; then turn-
ed on his heel and walked into the
louse. David looked : after him withi
quivering lips.
"If he only knew the truth ; ' " said ! he ;
wiping the perspiration from ' his face ;
what would he say ? What would he
do ? He blames me now , ; . would' he-
blame me then ? "
In the meantime , while- Sarby was
ndulging in this enigmatic soliloquy ,
Major Jen was pursuing his Way to-
wards the room of Jaggard. Despair-
ing of obtaining information from Da-
rid , he thought it possible to-learn the-
truth from Jaggard. Honestly spealc- : :
ing , the Major was puzzled-by the con-
duct of his ward. Hitherto had ) al-
ways considered David to be an hon
est man but at the present time hiss
conduct savored of duplicity. Did , he
Itnow of anything relative to the triple-
crime which had been committed ? Tf
so ; , why did he not speak : ? Finally
was David also under tho- fatal influ-- :
ence of Dr. Etwald - tho-man who , Jen
verily believed , was the- source of all
these woes ?
Jen found that Jaggard having had
a sleep during the long absence of his
master , was much better. Finding
himself alone with his servant ; Jen
addressed himself immediately to ; > the
business in hand.
.
"Do you feel stronger Jaggard ; ? * * he
asked. "I wish youi to : tell me- what
took : place on tho- night you were
drugged. "
"After you left nte ; sir , I 'remained
seated in my chair beside the bedside
of my poor master . If you remember ,
there was only one- candle in tl : e room ,
which was placed : on the table , some
little distance juway. I examined the
window and found it closed It was
bolted and barred. . The door was sim-
ply closed , for I never thought of lock-
ing it , as I fancied , sir , that you : might
return after midnight : : to see if all was
right.
"I did not , , however , Jaggard. I fell
asleep in the library , after Mr. Sarby ,
had gone to bed ; and , of course , I had I
every confidence in you- " ' I
"Please , don't say that , Major , " said .
Jaggard , imploringly , "as I did my
best. It was not my ; fault that Dido
drugged me. I'm sure I don't know
why she did so. I never did her any
harm. "
"Do you know what occurred during
the time you were insensible ? "
"No , sir. I've only got my wits
about : me now. "
"Well , " said Jen , seeing that the
man spoke in all good faith , "the body
of Mr. Maurice was stolen on that
night. "
"The body stolen ! " repeated Jaggard ,
in amazement. "For why , sir ? "
"I can't tell , nor can anybody else.
All we know is that at that at 3 o'clock
in the morning we entered Mr. Mau-
. '
,
L
. . .
-
- -
rice's room and found the window
open , the body gone , and. you Insensi
ble. "
"The window open , " said Jaggard ,
thoughtfully. "Then it must have
been opened from the inside , sir. "
"By Dido , no doubt.
"I'm certain of it , Major ; and it
was that black witch who stole the
body. She was hidden under the bed ,
sir. "
"Under the bed ! Are you sure ? "
said Jen , greatly startled by this in -
formation.
_
"Yes , Major. It was this way. I wa
seated by the bed , at the foot 'of it
with my face' to the door. The win
dow , as I said , was locked. She could
not have got in at the window , and
had she entered by the door , I should
have seen her. Besides , " * added Jag
gard , in a faint voice , "she grabbed
me from behind. "
"From behind "
"Yes , sir. I was not quite asleep ;
but a kind of dozing in my chair. I
don't know what it was made me
.
sleepy , as I was wide awqrke when you
i
left sir. But there was a kind of
heavy , sleepy smell about. "
, "I know , I know-the ' devil-stick : per '
: fume. "
"Well , sir , the smell made me sleepy ;
and though I'heard a noise behind me
I could not turn my head. I was just
as if in a nightmare , sir. Then the
black arm of that witch came from
behind me and grabbed at my throat ,
and she held a handkerchief with that
stuff on it to my nose. "
"Ah , " said Jen to himself , "I knew
that Isabella was speaking falsely.
* * * Go on , Jaggard , " he added
aloud. "Why did you not call out ? "
"I couldn't , sir. I felt as in a dream ;
but I turned and tried to fight her.
She pushed me over , and I fell like -a
log. I think I must have hit my head
on a corner of the bed , for I felt a
cruel pain at the back of it. I don't
know what- all means , sir , but I am
sure I know how Dido god into room. "
"Ah ! That is what I wish to learn.
Well ? "
"If you remember , sir , Dido called to
see you that day. "
"Yes. To -ask if I would see her mis-
tress ; a most unnecessary question. "
"It was a blind , sir ; and when she
left the room I don't believe she left
the house. "
"What makes : you think so ? "
"Sir , I took Dido out to the door ,
and while I was telling her to go away ,
Dr. Etwald came out. He told me he
would see after her , and I left hem
alone. Now , sir , " said Jaggard , with
emphasis , "I da believe as Dr. Etwald
took that black jade to the room of
Mr. Maurice and hid her under the
bed. "

Dr. Jacques Bertilloiv Advice Is
Backed tip by Statistics.
On the subject of matrimony , Dr.
Jacques Bertillon , the French : statistic
ian , differs in : his- advice from Punch ,
which summed ! ' its- counsel
up ' - to those
about to marry in the one word ,
"Don't ! " Dr : ; Bertillon , on the con-
trary ; , explains his reasons- for believ
ing that marriage and longevity go
hand in hand :
He calls in the aid of statistics to
prove his contention that a married
man or woman : hasthree times as
much chance to > attain a' ripe old age
as a bachelor or a spinster ; and with
regard to men- he shows. that the mor-
tality among widowers is greater than
among married men , tile New York
Sun London correspondent says. Dr.
Bertillon says that his father went
thoroughly into the question' and ob
tained statistics from other European
countries which completely support
this opinion , while he himself has
studied later figures in France : _ So his
advice ( to youngmen ; runs
"Marry ; you will do well even ; from
a selfish standpoint. But watclr care-
ully : over your-wife's health , as even
rorn this egotistical point of ' view her

on her own. "
Addressing- himself ' to. young women
he says :

you give 'J' marry
in your most selfish' interest , as mar
ried women have less mortality than
spinsters of the same age , at least after
the age of 20 ; but the difference is less
for : women than for men * The- mortal-
ity among spinsters is much greater
than among married' women- , but it is
not twice as great , as in , the case of
men. " - .
Dr. Bertillon does not take a cheer-
ful view of the lot of the widow. He
says :
"The mortality among widows is
distinctly much greater than among
married ; women of the same ! age. 'The
sweet state of widowhood , ' is , on the
contrary , fatal to young widows. Their
death rate from 20 to 25- years of age is
twice that of married women at the
corresponding age. "
He gives the reason why nsatrimony
conduces to longevity thus :
"Married people lead a more regular
i lift * . They are more surrounded and
therefore more controlled ; discreet
though this control' ' may be , and it
must be discreet if it is to be useful.
Their physical life , like their moral
life , is healthier : , quieter more nat-
ural. "
In the French statistics of one year
which Dr. Bertillon has selected the
deaths in a thousand men among
bachelors between the ages of 35 and
40 , were nineteen , while those of mar
ried men were only eight. Between
the age of 55 and 60 , the figures were
forty-one for the former and twenty-
three : for the latter.
With women the mortality was I
twelve to eight , between 35 and 40 ,
and twenty-four and eighteen between
55 and 60. The death rates among
widows and divorcees were respective
ly twelve and twenty-one women a > 1 <
thousand.
The silent organ loudest chants the
master's requiem.-Emerson.
