80 much the worse for You. The
man is murdered, and the responsibility
lies upon you two young men and that
young woman. OF course, believe in
your innocence, but that counts for moth
ing. Your fate will be decided by a
jury, and not by me. Now, what is the
evidence that will be laid before them2
One of you is found in third class car
riage with the dead man, and gives up a
first class ticket from Stevenham, the
station at which the police got into the
train with his prisoner. The other
young man gets the young woman out
of the train at Chorley, pays her fare
and whisks her out of the way in a fly.
A handkerchief saturated with chloro
form is found beside the dead man, and
you two are medical students! What is
the presumption? That you, seeing this
attractive young woman put into third
class carriage by policeman at Steven
ham, get into the same carriage with her.
The Young woman fascinates YOU and
excites Your sympathy. On nearing
Chorley the policeman dozes, and ono
of you, intending possibly only to pro-
long his sleep, applies chloroform. Tho
effect is more serious than You expected,
and, while one saves the young lady,
the other remains with the policeman,
to use such means of restoring him to
life as your practical experience sug
costs. Well, upon my honor, such evi-
dence as that is bound to convict You,
and l can scarcely hope to save you.
However, you had better let me see this
&
her guilt, your acquittal is assured"
'"Then you shall not see that young
lady," cried Hinton, in a fierce fury.
'lf yon think Tn going to get out of
the difficulty by shifting my respon-
sibility on to the shoulders of woman,
you arc in error"
''Then you may prepare for twenty
years of penal servitude, said Kennott,
brutally.
In all probability We should have got
thepunishment Kennett prophcsiod, but
for an event that never entered into our
calculations.
The young lady with the iron bracelet
had assured Hinton that in three days,
or four Mt the outside, she could clear
her character if only she was secured
from reapprehension in the interval.
The infatuated young man sent her to
his mother at st. Adams with touching
letter that appealed to the old lady's
sympathy-of course, she regarded her
son rs faultless in all things. The
young lady was treated as an honOred
guest. The first thing she did was to
send kilograms TO two friends in London.
The old lady seems to have been almost
as much enchanted as her son by the lady
of the iron bracelet, and at night time
they departed with mutual testimony of
affectionate regard.
When the servants came down in the
morning they found the street door,
which had been carefully bolted over
night, open and the plate gone. Later
on they found that the lady with the
iron bracelet was missing, also.
In the evening man was arrested on
suspicion of having committed the
burglary. At the examination | identi-
