CHAPTER LII.

In my case l suppose that something
did, for | got up and wrote a letter to
Mrs. Prineveau In which / told her that
] accepted the case and would do the
best / could FOR the accused and that
1t looked like hopeless affair. In re-
sponse 10 this ] received a note Of brief
thanks, inclosing a crisp five hundred
dollar bin as retaining fee. That the
pale face Of the mans wife had deter
mined me IS not unlikely, for 1t came
back to me in the night with the
strangest pcrsistency and the same un-
warranted look Of trust in the gray
eyes.
The trial was set down 10 come on
about the first Of May, and there
was about n months time to get ready
for It. l wasted about a week in the
conviction that all l could do was 20
dispute the evidence inch by inch, and
in the last resort show that Clarkson
was given 20 emotional alterations
and was at times irresponsible. But
whenever my mind reverted to the
matter that miserable woman's face
rose UP with an awful reproach in IT,,
and then / fell 10 excusing myself to
myself as " | had not done right.

pllcable impulse, / went down to the

place in Varick street. / found Mrs.
Clarkson lying in one room on the
third floor Of a dismally dirty barracks,
with two extraordinarily beautiful
children, scantily but tidlly dressed,
playing about the floor, and OCCASION
ally asking when papa would come
back. She had taken in some kind of
needle wOrk-button work, vhtr'
showed me. She had to cover the iron
frames OF the buttons with silk, and
arrange them on a card, for which she
got twenty-five cents a dozen. and by
the utmost industry could never quite
make two cards a day of a dozen but
tons each Her finger ends were black
with needle marks. She looked weary
and sick. but she did not complain.
Nothing that ever had encountered i'm
my experience as lawyer or
as n man 50 moved my sym
pathy as this woman. Instinctve-
" 1 knew that she had been gently
bred; that she had loved a worth
less man and this was her penalty for
continuing to love him. | knew that
she would cling to him through all mis-
fortune and be the last to leave him
when his doom came. | felt myself
treating her with a fine courtliness that
was inspired by respect, the respect we
always feel for something that Is n lit
tie above our human range.
II was difficult to- pun myself out of
this mood and come down to the prac-
tical business of "a lawyer, but 1t was
necessary.
Mrs. Clarkson," I said, at Is neccs-
sary that we look at this matter in the
most cold-blooded way We have got
to make the effort to save your hus-
band beset on almost every side by al
most insuperable difficulties, and shut
into one or two miserably narrow
courses. I have got to prove an allbi
or establish his insanity"
"Do you mean by insanity that you
will admit that he committed the deed
In mad fit?"
Perhaps that would be the most
judlcious course, and then throw our
selves on the sympathy of the jury and
the mercy of the court"
She shook her head with q sad dig
nifty. "Ie did not commit the deed"
she said
perhaps not. That may be n moral
certainty with you. But lawyer must
have facts. How are we to prove that
he did not?'
Her answer startled me little. 1t
was said calmly. and as II she saw no
difficulty about 1t.
by proving that some one else did
It," she said.

pected. Have you got anything to say
to me-"
Not much"
He said this with his aggravating
vacuity, and stopped. one hand was
thrust into his pocket, the other sup
ported his head in an easy, indolent
sprawling position.
Il suppose you have made up your
mind; it is n waste of time trying to
save that man. Well. | about made up
my mind to that myself, some time
ago"
'Do you mind telling me how you got
into this case?" he asked.
"As that is a private matter and you
are not disposed to take any share in
the case, | don't see why l should
make YOU a confidant."
Did Mrs. prineveau ask you to de-
fend Clarkson"'
"Ah! Mr.. Greve told you?"
"No he didn't"
"Then. Mrs. Prineveau?"
Mrs Prineveau would not talk to
me. | scared her"

"No. haven't"
Look here. Daryl" I said, little
nettled. you are one of the cleverest
| men in n particular line ! ever met
This whole thing is in a nutshell
Either that man Clarkson shot Mr.
| Prncveau or he didn't. If he didn't
shoot himhe must have been somewhere
at the time. He says he was drunk and
| If so some one must have seen him at
some resort far away from the scene Of
the crime. It's plain piece of work to
! find out the mans resorts and get hold
| of the persons who saw him there on
that day. That's all there is to 1t, and
l don't mind telling you that | haven't
u bit of faith in the task, but there's Il
| chance"
Daryl did not say anything for a mo-
ment. He worked his big fist In his
pocket mechanically, and looked down
at his heavy boots as If he were at a
complete loss. Presently he said, drawl-
ingly: Yes, that would be n waste of
| time"
"Thcn you have made up your mind
that Clarkson is guilty?"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-03-08

Then he said in a schoolboy way: 81

"Do you? Who?"
Mrs. Prineveauw
If he had told me that he thought

replied. "rll look for the facts If you

mind did not easily adjust itself to this

was somewhat at loss how to explain
himself.

em, but don't mind saying in a gin

more today than l have in six months.
But Mrs. Clarkson was dead right when
she said the thing to do is TO prove that
some one else committed the crime"
Can we do it?''
'We can find that person, but to
prove it-well, to tell you the truth. I
don't believe we will, for that person
