resumed and before recess the twelve

Lawyer Moon has declined to par
ticipate in the case unless a continu-
ance is granted. and as Judge Ar
mold has declined to do this. Holmes
will have to act as his own lawyer.
Another Sensation.
District Attorney Graham made the
opening speech, in which he de-
nOunced Holmes as a murderer, swim
dler and all-around villain. Holmes
retained his compOsure and took cOpi-
Holmes then said: II repeat my
request for m interview with GER
tain party-the party 1 spoke Of this
morning" and observing the inquir-
ing look from Mr.. Graham. he ex-
claimed sharply and with defiant
gaze at that otticial-"my wife,"
(Which wife?" retorted the district
attorney sharply.
There was suspicion of tears in
| the voice of the friendless man, as
he responded with a bitterness that
was real: you we'll know whom I

can read in her writing that she does
not want to see me-"
''She told you 50 to your face" ex-
claimed Mr.. Graham.
II beg to differ from you, SIR" and
an angry flush for an instant suffused
his cheeks.
Here Judge Arnold interposed: "Mr
Holiness he said. you will be allowed
to write a letter to her and it will be
sent by one Of the court officers
Il do not want it taken by any Of
ficer who is in any way connected
with the district attorney" sale
Holmes, with look of scorn at Mr.
Graham.
'You have had every opportunity Of
speaking to her." the latter repeated
1T is Indifferent to me whether yol
see her or not"
''Then will you answer a direc
question:" demanded Holmes, search
ingly. "Have you or have you not in
tercepted letters from me to her sine

I in your power to keep us apart? An

) "You have no right to so question

'AIr. Holiness" said Judge Arnold

: And" added the district attorney
/. II will have her in court to-morro,
