where-but in the morning it is found
that the door is locked from the kit
chen. which would prevent the servant
from passing to and fro in the house.
And there by the bed in that spare
bedroom were half smoked cigarettes;
there by the bed were the beer glasses,
with the dregs Of beer still contained
in them; there upon a chair was
broken package of cigarettes; and
there, too, was the talltale handker-

marked the initials of that young
mans name, wv. j. d." And as Ire
cars hurried along, bringing toward
his home the unsuspecting husband,
there was revelry in that house-the
house that belonged to another I'm
doubtedly. lying there in the bed.

upon the floor, drinking the beer and
sleeping with the wife Of another, vlo-
lating the divine command that Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife,
violating the seventh commandment,
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Yet they say the woman is TO blame!
They say that because Harry Hynds
has in his lifetime followed the avoca-
ton of gambling, that therefore he had
not any heart, that he had not any
feeling, that he was not made like
other men. that all he deserves is to
be buffeted about from pillar to post,
to be kicked here and there, insulted
upon the witness stand, and pictured
TO you as a monster, to be convicted
without rhyme, reason, law or justice!
HYNDS SUSPECTED NOTHING
WRONG.
oh, the scene in that house the night
before-that scene must have flashed
across the mind of this defendant as
a horrible panorama when he saw
there the evidences of that nights de-
bauch-the evidence Of the beer, the
tobacco, the bed, the broken lamp
shade. 1t must have flashed across him
there. in his own home, that the wo-
man who was his wife, whom he had
lifted UP and given a name, the wo
man whom he had loved and cherished
and toward whom he had always been
kind say it must have flashed across
him there that she had betrayed him,
and that he was a dishonored man in
his own home! What a fearful thing
TO contemplate There was the dinner
of the night before; there was the rev.
elry in the bed of another; there was
the preparation going on for the morn

Then the husband came When the
train pulled in at the station few
minutes behind the usual time, he
alighted from the cars There was no
indication that he suspected anything
wrong at his house. We introduced
that testimony, because we apprehend
that the blow came so suddenly that
1t stunned the intellect, and such a
blow prevents a man from controlling
himself far more than when day BIZ
Gay he can observe that his happiness
is being gradually wiped out of exist

Mr.. Brady-one witness whom they
have not suggested was bought Think
Of all the suggestions we have had
here-that witnesses have been bought
to perjure themselves, that witnesses
have been purchased to testify! But
they haven't yet suggested that Mr..
Brady was bought for that purpose.
The snow, lying deep upon the ground,
hindared the progress of the car. SO

thing there to indicate that Harry
Hynds had suspected his wife? Wasn't
he going home then just as any other
gentleman would go home under sim
liar circumstances? After leaving Mr.
Brady, the defendant walked to Main
