might meet. They came across Lawyer
Gibbs. halted him, and as he showed

that the husband fired the fatal shot

The truth came out through the arrest
OF the man, Clarence Robinson, for
burglary. and the voluntary statement
OF the wife. The police had no share In
unearthing the crime.
The story shows how mlschievous pet
theories are In such cases and how
they mislead the detectives. All the
sleuth-hounds were on the scent OF a
Jealous woman or an injured husband,

take In this statement. MIR. Cleve-
land did on one occasion further very
notably the political aims OF Col John
r. Fellows. when that gentleman was
a candidate for District-Attorney OF the
city and County of New York. 1t will
be remembered that when the contest
between Col. Fellows and Mr. De Lancey
favorng Mr.. Nicoll's success, President
Cleveland wrote "A letter very warmly
advocating the election of Col. Fellows,
and turned the scale in the lattcrs
favor.
