The prisoner complied, seeming to put
himself in the others place, and his words
knocked the bottom out of the prosecution.

OF the two men who had been positive at
the preliminary examination one backed
square down, while the other was full of
doubts. When the case was closed and
the jury went out eight were doubtless and
the other four not very positive, and the

meeting everybody as stranger and wan

went quietly away to be seen no more
Was he Bailey or Somerville? 1 have told
you how they failed to prove he was any
body but Bailey, and yet he was Somer-
vile. Years afterward I interviewed him
in South Carolina Jail two days before
he was to be hanged for murder, and he &C.
knowledged his identity and laughed heart
lily over the details of the case. He was
rascal before coming to Grafton, and Sc

reasons why he should disappear for a

She stopped right there. She couldn't
describe the man she had seen SO often
during period of three years! A doubt
had crept in, and that doubt was fatal tC
her testimony. Only two persons out OF
thirty called to the stand were positive
The defense claimed case of mistaken
identity. The prisoner declared his name
to be James Bailey, and that he was born
of American parents in Switzerland He
had come to the United States as a tourist
and had only been in the country two
weeks when arrested. He had no baggage
but claimed it had been detained or stolen
He gave the name of the sailing vessel by
which he had arrived, and this was after
ward found to be correct. He had about
$1,000 in money, some of which was Eng.
lish gold.
After Somerville or Bailey had been held
to the higher court for trial the town was
divided. One-half the people were sure the
man was Somerville, while the other hall
were just as positive that he was q stranger
True, he looked and spoke and acted like
Somerville. He had the same mole on the
left cheek, the same gold filling in the
front teeth, the same way of lifting the eye
brows as he spoke. But there was the
doubt. People had been mistaken before
and we must not rate ourselves as infallible
When the trial in the higher court came
on the crew of the freight train and the
station agent were put on the stand. Each
one set out to be positive, but each one
ended by doubling. The testimony of the
the station agent was fair sample:

other half no. The Widow Rives was de-
termined to be positive this time She not
only believed in what she was going to
swear to, but hundred different people
had encouraged her in her conviction.
This was the way she came to grief:

springs BeufeliOW.
Spring went about the woods today,
The soft foot Winter thief,
And found where idle Sorrow lay
Between the flower and leaf.
She looked on him and found him fair
For all she had been told;
She knelt down beside him there
And sang of days of old.
His open eyes beheld her naught,
Yet gan his lips do move;
But life and deeds were in her thought
And he would sing of love.
So sang they till their eyes did meet,
And faded fear and shame;
More bold he grew and she more sweet
Until they sang the same
Until, say they who knew the thing,
Their very lips did kiss,
And Sorrow, laid abed with Spring,
Begat an earthly bliss.
