 The interview WIS brought tcsan end and the prisoner taken back to his cell. Two hours were allowed to eiapse before any thing was said to the prisoner. The detect I've on guard heard him pacing up and down in his cell necessarily, but that was all. Then he was summoned to the door of the prison, where he was placed in a closed car riage and driven rapidly up toAvn. It seemed a long ride to tho prisoner, and when he emerged he saw himself before the morgue ot the Bellevue Hospital He knew what was coming, and those who were watching hins ,arply thought that they detected the r. :, on forming in his mind to endure.the coming ordeal without fiinching. He was taken into the room where the remains thut had been found in the river the day before were lying on ice
 "Mr. BrOwnlow," said the detective in charge, "behold that which you have de- manded us to show you"
 Without n word and without tremor the prisoner looked earnestly at the romans, scanned the distorted face, the ruined clothing, and, after a fIlll moments pause, looked up at his attendants and said:
 "It is Q lie. That is not the body of Mrs. Brownlow."
 Nothing more could bse dragged from the unwilling prisoner, and he was taken back to his cell
 With the facts thus obtained the district attorney brought the matter to the atten- ton of the grand jury and an indictment was promptly found. Inasmuch as the case had already attracted so much attention from the public at large, and such clamor had been ralsed for a trial and conviction of the wealthy prisoner, the district attor- ney urged that a day be set for trial at an early date. The judge, before whom this An A NlNA tance of the case, and accordingly trans ferred it on the calendar, so that the trial was for day within the next month.
 Many of Mir. Brownlow's wealthy friends went to see him at the Tombs, but he re- fused peremptorily to discuss the matter with them. He was willing to talk with them on ordinary social or political topics, but when any reference was made to hlS trouble, or to means for defending himself, he sternly refused to proceed further with the conversation. He declared that he would have no lawyer and would defend himself when the time came, and he still persisted on making no explanation to any body about his part of the affair. The day for the trial came, and Mir Brownlow was placed in the prisoners bar before the judge. The charge was read, and to the question of the clerk, whether he was guilty or not guilty, he responded in clear tone: Mot guilty"
 "Mr. Brownlow," asked the judge, "are you represented by coursel2" "No, sir" was the reply. Do you not wish counsel to bo appointed for youi"
 ''No, sir" said Mir. Brownlow. ''I pre- pose to defend myself" ''This is very serious matter, Mir. Brownlow," said the judge, sternly, "and you do not do right to yourself or to the com munity by refusing to avill yourself of such | opportunities us may be right to clear your self of the charge which you have persist | ently denied"
 Mir Brownlow smiled, bowed luis head and | said not a word.
 The judge thought the matter over for several minutes and, finally, turning to the | prisoner, said:
 II shall exercise the discretion vested in me by the law and appoint counsel for you, and in doing so l shall choose one whom think fitted to Femresent you faithfully in this court Mir. Henry Parker will act as | your attorney"
 The gentleman named by the judge was | in the courtroom, us were great many | other young lawyers attracted by the case 1 and it's peculiar circumstances. Mir.

 The motion was immediately granted, and Mir Parker consulted with his client with out delay. MT. Brownlow received him | coldly.
