but that he was prevented by his arrest
for murder.
As the defense progressed the spec
tators looked perplexed. II was evil
dent that . loop-hole for the prisoners
escape would be offered. The prosecu-
ton looked dumb founded.
The Judges charge was elaborate In
lis details; his Honor leaned to the be-
lief in the prisoners guilt, md the
jury retired
After an absence Of four hours, dur
ing which time they sent for elucida-
ton on several points ~ tha court, the
twelve returned with q verdict of-Not
guilty!
No demonstrations Of delight follow
ed the announcement Of the verdict.
The accused bowed to the jury and was
d~ischared.
That day he left B and died 10
years later without unraveling, II he
could, the secret Of the Judges death.
Years afterward, when the old Court
house was demolished, a rusty dagger
was found in the belfry, and the Stats OF
the blind windows showed evidences Of
removal, as il to admit and let out q
man!
The discovery renewed speculation

about to retreat and raise the alarm BY
ringing the Court-house bell, when he
betkought himself that tina Judge might
have . fit, and that he could render him
the needed rssistance. Therefore he
fastened forward and tried TO lift the
PROSTATE man, who lay Oh the floor with
one hand partially hidden in bis bosom,
while the other, lying ear his head.
held his pen-holder, the gold pen Of
which had its nib broken. But = the
Judge was : large man, given over to
some extent to obesity, and the ~janitor
. cadaverous fellow who had been de-
nominated I" Bones" by the attaches Of
the Courthouse, he found his attempt
useless, and soon gave It up - futile.
At that time an unusually interesting
court was in session at B, and pre-
sided over BY Judge Blakely. A large
