place on the stand, and a pair of winsome
eyes returned the glance. 1t was friendly
pair of eyes that looked down upon him.
There was a blending of pity in hem, and
there were tears yelling up when she
turned away. Cassidy settled down in his
chair in self-satlsfcd way. There was
nothing TO fear from the testimony of the
little girl who had bent over the bow of the
boat with Cassidy on the return trip from
the island and watched with him the por-
poises sporting in the tide If Cassidy
killed George Smith this little girl did not
know it or did not believe it. He was her
sisters friend, and hers. The witness
recovered from her first timidity, gave a
glance of recognition at some relative or
friend in the lobby, and then faced Mr..
Richards in answer to whose interrogatories
she spoke clearly, without hesitation, with
earnestness and at times with feeling
sometimes approaching emotion. Her story
conceded with that Of Eddie James up to the
time of their retiring, except that she said
she accompanied Eddie from the boat house
to the Pavilion bar to get beer for
the Baldwin contingent to the Cassidy
bathing party. When she and Eddie re
turned from the bath, they were cold, anC
