THE GUILTY MIND.

in Some Way.
After this Harry passed up stairs.
and was seen by the officer and
Goosman, and made some strange
declarations, and then he goes to
police headquarters. Unnatural
deeds do breed unnatural trouble.
and infected minds will to their
death pillows discharge their Sc

on the face of the earth, even though
he makes no direct confession. but
what will under the laws of his be-
ing and the laws of God, show CON
fusion, directly or indirectly betray
, the condition of his mind and dis
close to some extent to him who
can read it the guilt which lies in
ms heart. Explain to me, if Won
can, the course of conduct of Harry
Hayward during the hours interyen-
ing between his leaving the theater
and the following morning. Is it con-
sistent with love? Do his actions
spring from the fountain of pure
afiection which would guide and con-
tro! innocent and honest men and
women? Why this stormy hour be-
lore any one knows the .circum-
stances? ooh she is done nm

murdered for her money, and INV
$4,000 is gone to hell" and for four
or 1Ve hours, in public, but not to
bliXt and Adry, he has not brains
ana skill enough to disguise his CON
fusion and guilt which rests within
MS wicked heart. All, gentlemen Of
the jury, what is this strange thine
called conscience?
You will search the annals of bis-
tory 1t seems to me in vain IN and =

conscience in all men. and to some ex-

science seeks to throw off its load of

ne flashes those letters 20 the first
man he meets? Il thought that this
thing was coming; am done up" If
he was telling the truth, he was not
done up for cent. He had a good.
valid life insurance policy in force,
payable in sixty days, for $40, 600: and
even il he had told the truth, he had
never given but $500 for it.
He was not done up. He couldn't
stand there that night without the
most cruel and wicked falsehood on
his lips. "My $1,000, it is gone" Why
$1,000? All, he betrays himself again.
Gentlemen, there was never over s.. 600
in that deal. That is probably Just
what there was in the whole transac-
ton, and Harry got 1t back from that
poor girl when she went out underithe
pretension of putting it in the vault.
and then came back to him. What did
she come back for-or, what did they 90
into that room for? my $1,000" And
he goes on to rehearse how she. poor
girl, had flashed the money in a res
taurant. Do you remember Spencer's
testimony? 1 think it was Spencer, but
you Will remember his name He goes
on to state that Miss Cling came in
first; it was not until after Harry came
in that Spencer saw the roll He had
used her as toy and tool of the mo-
ment to create in a public place the
idea that she was a very careless
woman; SO that when the occasion
should arrive he might have plenty of
witnesses to prove her careless habits.
oh, gentlemen, the untimely murder
of that girl herself scarcely equals the
means resorted to for months and
months preceding the crime by this de-
PENDANT Referring again to Mrs.
BliXt's testimony, the question was
asked, what did he do?" Q thI,ik
that is the IL o'clock interview I will
read that. She testifies that he came
between 8 and o'clock into the base

That Blixt was still asleep, and that be
said, 'Blixt, are you asleep? and he
