The clerk OF police court has some
thing else to do besides retrying the JUS
tees cases, SO wen. on with my work
and the bailf sat in his chair and
grrmtled with all his might.
IL moment there was connection
in the hall. and two officers came in
! dragging Richard Melville, cut and
| bleeding, between them. They were on
their way to the cells underneath the
| court room.
Until saw Richard Melville there, in
the custody of the officers and on the
| way to cell, never knew what the ex-
preston ''insane fury" meant. His eyes
| glared like those Of a wild beast, and
| seemed starting from their sockets; his
face was deadly pale and terribly con-
| torted He struggled with the strength
of an athlete ;oyainst his captors; had he
! been bat for one moment free. l think he
would have conquered them both and
made his escape.
After n prolonged struggle the officers
half forced and half carried him down
the rear stairway to the cell room. Such
scenes were not uncommon in the court
room. and went on with my writing.
But could not hep hearing byStanders

''What was it,
"Why, this gentleman prisoner the
| Justice just let of scot free killed the
cflicc dog before he got out Of the build
ing"
'.And the way he did it, broke in an
other voice.
"How?'
why. the poor creature was going
down the iron stairs Just ahead OF him.
With,ut word of warning he clutched
| tho hand rail to prevent falling and
sprang upon the poor pet with both his
great feet, crushing its life out over the
edge OF tho iron stairs. He wasn't salts
| fed with that. lie stood there aud
ground his heavy heels into the dead
| body until / beiieye there wasn't n
whole bone left in it. Then he became
stark. rsying mad, and struck out right
and left until the officers came. The
cut ON his head came from fall on the
stairs. The captain says IL is over an
old wound and may prove serious"
Wonder what they'll do with him."
''Scnd him TO IN asylum"
"Oh. he's crazy all right enough"
was getting weary Of the talk aud
went into my private Office. The bailiif
followed me in.
SAY" he said. almost IN whisper,
shat was Maurice Green"
"P.hawr'
| well, I have see, Maurice Green
have spells like that. He was the most
brutal man | ever l.new-the quickest
to shed blood and the quickest to go into
= frenzy at the sight of IL. People who
knew the family in Maine declare that
there were murdcrcrs among his ances-
| tors. Bad blood will ont. CHI"
was beginning ~ take more than n
passing interest in the case. At the ten
