remarked that he had just come from

Mack. He sat half the play through
and on Going out said:

life had been held out TO her as reward
for a few words that would surely result
In Thorn's execution. She had remained
firm during her imprisonment at police
Headquarters. Al all hours Of the day and
night she had been besleged, but she had
kept her own counsel.
Now she confesses by what direct In

The story that Mrs. Mack has tod, ard
that she will be called upon to repeat 70

to XIII him. She induced him to 20 TO
Yoodside to inspect cottage which shs
had hired, as she told him, 70 conduct her
business as midwife. She sent him up
stairs alone. and when she heard shots
she knew that Thorn had carried out his
promise.
The greatest difficulty was to oblfseratt
the traces OF murder. The only plan ihas
appeared safe and sure was 10 cut the re-
