"What's the use of goin on? Oh lost

wires.
"But you overlook it.
"How can Oh swear it was the same?''
There was smile on the faces of
those present. The questioner seemed
puzzled at the corporal s device to avoid
testifying against the prisoner.
"Did you not ride on and overtake
what you had seen?"
"Divil bit.''
Il know better. You went on and
found something in the road. What did
you find?"
"Oi didn' t find what Old SEEM
"What had you SEEM"
"Didn't Oh tell ye it was so dark that
Oh couldn't see anything?'

coming up with it, what did you find it
to be?''
cit WASH what Oh followed. That,
WHATEVER it was, had gone out with the
mornin light. Oh reckon it was some
thing ghostly."
Nonsense. Did you not find the
prisoner lying in the grass?''
''Oi did, - replied the witness, as if
his heart would break, and he again
showed signs of collapse.
"And you had reason to believe it
was the person driving the buggy you
followed?'
''Oi didn't see any buggy. It was so
dark
'Well"-impatiently- ''the person
driving whatever it was you saw"
"How could Oh know that?''
ut was natural to infer that, there
being horse and buggy near, the pris-
oner had been driving it,
There was no buggy"
"Well, the pieces
"NowyOi would ask the court, Z" said
Ratigan, steadying himself to impress
the members with the probability of his
position, ''if the person or WHATEVER it
was Oh saw tamperin with the wire
moightent have turned off on another
road and Oh suddenly lighted on this
one?"
'That'll do, corporal. You may step
out and give the next witness your
place"
The next witness was an officer from
the camp to which the prisoner had
first been taken after her capture. He
testified that upon a proposition to
search her she had voluntarily produced
the dispatches, which were shown to
him in court, and he identified them as
the same as those she had given up.
A reading of these dispatches was
called for, and they were read.
In addition to those Miss Baggs deci-
phered when at the Fain plantation were
two others, which were as follows:

There was no attempted explanation
with this telegram. Either the prisoner
had made no Roadway with it, or she
had not sufficient time, probably both,
though it was more difficult to deci.
pher than any of the others.
These kilograms had been sent to gen.
eral headquarters and an Interpretation
Of them furnished, which was read tc
the court:
