his own destruction by the apprehen-
sion that creeps over him if he coughs
twice in succession To say that there
is nothing in the theory Of heredity
would be TO assume too much; it has
not yet been disproved- and only a
ments involving the separation of
families could substantially disprove
it. But the theory OF contagion is
established. and it is no longer to be

mitted that the descendant Of con-
sKnptive family is more likely to fall
a victim to the disease tnan any other.

sociated with those afflicted with II
The contagion theory explains in q
great measure why members of the
same family are so liable to become q
prey to the disease, for the sister or
daughter who cares for a consumptiye
patient is inevitably exposed, and
those who occupy the same house and
are only occasionally visit the sick
room are also in position to become
infected especially If their physical
condition is not of the strongest
Even young children living in the
tainted atmosphere may receive the
germs OF death into their systems

such a proceeding ever took place. 1t was
finally agreed that the Parsons case should
be taken up. and Richard Parsons, the negro,
was called 10 the stand.
This case charged W. r. Dashiell with
forging the name of Richard Parsons to

Mr.. Dashiell stated. that the 1900 had been

former partner the home Of Ludwig's youth.
the home Of Ludwig's benefactOr. Rich
mond. the place of al others. That break
fast is the keystone IN the arcn. that
breakfast is the handspring of this
trial. That breakfast Its coffee sweet
ened with the sweets of conspiracy its
bread buttered with maiignity; It's eggs beaten
with spirit Of revenge. Brown goes with
Ludwig to the Office of the Chief of Police
and there no disappears. lie leaves town and
let the embers burn lower.
What about these books that the Common
weaths Attorney wants? Why should Mr..
Dashiel produce his books? We are not
making out case for YOU. Mr.. Ludwig
admits that the correspondence was partially
DESTROYED He had TO be sworn q little which
gave to Mr.. Dashiell the power of attorney
He saw the statement to-day. but while his
mind was refreshed he did not know he owed
Mr.. Dashiell a hundred dollars. Hero is
man twenty-eight years old confessing that
he did not know the money be received were
advances on the estate. nor did he know OF
what the estate consisted.
IL is not necessary for me TO attack the We
racity OF Mr.. Ludwig Ii is only Tor me 10
say that lie has been convinced not III the
light of correspondence. but by the stories OK
