ing there were Us many and rs tangible
clues IN each case as in this one.
Could Byrnes accomplish Il work
that had batllcd the London police?
Byrnes is II man of saGaclty. lie is
also IL man of method. 1t would re-
quire more than Sagacity and method
to bring to the bar of the court the
murderer of cold shakespeare
The porter of the hotel was exam
ned. All that could be learned was
hat three persons, the victim and W
oilers, had entered the hotel the night
of the murder. Shakespeare and II of
them had remained, but this one had
not come in when Shakespeare did,
and apparently had no connection with
her presence there.
1t was soon developed that the one
who went away could not have COM
mitted the murder, though he may
have been accessory to it.
tncH WHO COtlu nave commit leu the
deedP
1t was a~scortained that Ameer Ben
Allan Algerian, known rs ''Frenchy,'
vas the third party who had entered
the hotel during the fatal night.
The Algerian had occupied room Sc,
nearly opposite and across the hall
from room "a. In this room were found
II few slight spots of blood, and on the
wall and door were marks us if bloody
fingers had left their imprint there.
But the blood vas not arterial, and it
had evidently been mixed with other
liquid.
This was all Inspector Byrnes could
learn.
But he had "Frenchy," or Ameer
Ben Ali. the Algerian, arrested, and
spots of blood, corresponding to those
in o No. SO, were found on his
clothes. Then he began to draw the
C Dils of evidence around HIM.
1t was q wonderful fabric he wove.
No spider ever enmeshed II fly with
more skill or greater success.
When the case was called the state
was prepared to prove:
First-That the blood which made
stains on F~renchy's clothes and in
room 3G was human blood.
Second-It was from n body already
dead.
Third-It was anamic, weak or wa
terry.
Fourth-It had been mingled with in
~testinal fluid.
Fifth-It represented in Il partially
digested stage food contents of the
stomach,
Sixth-This food was corned beef,
cabbage and rhubarb. All this was
proved by expert testimony.
A post norton examination of the
body of the dead woman had developed
the fact that she had died of strangula-
ton, and had been cut to pieces after
ward.
Her stomach and intestines had been
severed by the knife of the murderer.
She had eaten corned beef, cabbage
and rhubarb for supper.
The defense tried to break the force
of Inspector Byrnes' web of testimony
but could not, and the jury sent the
man to prison for fifteen years.
1t was II of the cleverest pieces of
detective work on record.

The Baby as a Burglar Alarm.


Up on Washington Heights is the residence
of friend Of mine, a Mr.. Bowersox, who is a
well-known and wealthy hide dealer down in
the Swamp" He is a very large man, of fine
physique, but withal not inclined to be as brave
as a man of go pounds is expected to be. In a
conversation short time ago on the subject of
the Heights and its police protection, asked
him what he would do if he should awake some
night to find burglars in the house, and he re-
piled:
Il would just let them go it alone. They
could not steal all have, and if they did, a live
man could earn more, but dead man is of no
use-only an item Of expense to his family to
bury, and of continued expense afterward to
keep his grave green
One day last week was surprised to read in
the papers that ''the residence of Mr.. Bower
sox. on Washington Heights, was visited by
burglars last night, butno loss occurred as the
thieves were frightened away"
Meeting my friend, eagerly inquired what
frightened the burglars.
"Just my new burglar alarm. You see had
the baby sleeping with me and when I was
awakened by the noise in my room and saw the
burglars striking matches as they moved
around, did not spring up and grapple with
them only to be killed. but quietly slipped my
hand under the bedclothes and pinched the
baby until it cried. and then laughed to see the
burglars skip out"
