waves OF the river, and Mr. Parker SAT in
the stern and held the tiller ropes.


IL was about two o'clock Oh the afternoon
ci .ne gay that Mr.. Parker went to Workers.
Ine iast time that the mayor of New York
Slty' slttlng In his office overwhelmed with
business, was told by the policeman who
guarded the door that woman wanted to
see him. o" W
nat does she want?" asked the mavor
oon't Know, sir, but l suppose it is
some complaint about policeman or health
inspector. She's poorly dressed and has a
letter in her hand"
The mayor looked at his corresnondence
ana at his watch and said: swell, show her
in" "oi
when the woman was presented to the
mayor she tremblingly laid letter on his
desk and said Mr.. Mayor, ifyou will please
TO read this. / think you will see that !
great injustice has been done that YOU can
make right"
Tho mayor opened the letter without a
WORD. AS he read his brows contracted
ana an expression OF increduhty came over
his face. This Is what he read:
"MR. MAYOR: Ihave Just this dav Learned
shat my husband has been convicted of muir
der; and, as understand the matter, am his
VICTIM lam too Ill to come In person to the
city, but the bearer will tell you where am.
and will take you or an ofncer to me. She viii
also explain my story and circumstances. Re.
spectfully, LEoNORA BRowNr0w"
"Who gave you this letter, madamean
asked the mayor, sharply.
Mrs. Brownlow, SIR" she responded.
"She has been stopping at my house, oppo-
site Yonkers, for q long time, and has been
very sick. She came Unexpectedly une
night, or rather morning, for she had
walked almost all the way. We never see
the papers, and never knew what had hap
pened until heard some people in Yonkers
talking about the hanging of q rich man as
would take place soon."
The mayor was puzzled. He did not be-
heve the story at all, thinking it a shrewd
invention OF Brownlow's friends to gain
time. After few minutes thought he
summoned the district attorney, and to-
gether they listened to the woman's story.
1t is matter" said the district attorney,
"that needs attention, at any rate. If it is q
scheme concocted in behalf of Brownlow by
his friends or Lawyer Parker, we must dis
cover who IS responsible and bring him or
them to Justice"
Then turning to the woman, who said her
name was Mary DonneIly, he said:
81 will have an officer accompany you to
your home"
Instead of sending an officer with the
woman, Mary Donnelly, to her house, she
was locked up in the House of Detention as
a witness, and two officers were sent on the
errand without her. The poor woman pro-
tested in vain against this treatment at the
hands of the law. The district attorney and
the chief of police thought that the matter
was altogether too important to allow such
a witness to escape over the borders into
Hot no ;,,cf ,f
ing to Yonkers to get at Mary Donnelly's
house, crossed the ferry into New Jersey,
and after short railroad ride engaged a
carriage to take them to that point Of the
palisades that overhangs the river near
Yonkers. There, after crossing private
grounds, they came to q path down the
cliff made up of stone steps and patches of
wooden stairway that zigzagged hither and
yon across the rocks until it reached the
