INTERESTING TESTIMONY.

During the delivery of the statement
made by Sarah Carpenter there was the
stiffness of death. Her words caused a
profound sensation, and even after she
ceased no one spoke, but eagerly waited
to hear what those in charge of the in
vestigation would have 10 say. The
squire at length addressed the witness:
You say il was about half an hour
after you had parted from EVERY when
you heard the shots fired?'

She was then allowed to retire, and
Mr.. Upper called attention to the fact
that her evidence had corroborated the
detectives theory as to the time of the
SHOOTING.

A man who lives in Chaplin street

and, as is his custom, stopped in the
corner drug store to bay q cigar. When
he came out, "A stylish cart drawn by
two splendid horses was passing. The

The man who was On his way down

rah Carpenter had recovered from her
emotion and was sitting quietly on the
front bench. Will Everly was then call
ed and took the stand. AS he did so
Sarah seemed much agitated, and with
difficulty kept her composure. Mr..
Barnes, who was watching her, noticed
her discomfort and smiled to himself as
one conscious of being correct in some
surmise. Mr.. Topper proceeded.
"Mr. Everly," said he, 81 believe
you are a friend of Mr.. Walter Mar
vel?'
81 hope so, sir F"
"You are under some obligation to

"How was that" In reply EVERY
related the incident in detail. Mr.. Tup-
per continued:
"You consider then that you owe
your life to this young man?'
Il do, most emphatically. / should
hesitate at nothing to do him service. {"
81 have heard that you have repeat
eddy said that you would risk your life
for him. Is that true?"
"It is. Did he not risk his life for
me?'
All through the above Burrows, who
was watching Mr.. Barnes, was sur
prised to notice that Mr.. Barnes was
keenly scrutinizing the girl Sarah Car
penter, who was in evident distress,
and he at length suspected that this ex-
animation of Everly was really in some
way aimed at the young woman. Mr..
Upper continued:
"Were you present when Marvel quar-
relied with the deceased?''
"He did not quarrel with Mr.. Lewis"
answered EVERY with some heat. "He
simply did what any man would-he
resented gross insult"
81 think he fired at Mr.. Lewis, did
he not?' Everly was little confused
as he replied:
He was very much excited and took
out his pistol. / don't think he would
really have fred it, but Miss Lewis

charged. think it was an accident"
but did he not utter threats against
Mr.. Lewis as he went away?'

get even. But / know Walter, and /

"You would be guilty of contempt. "
"And what Of that?"
81 could have you confined in Jail and
kept there until you were willing TO an

She pondered over this awhile and
then, turning TO MIR. Topper again, said
sharply:

trying 20 Get out Of me?"

"You would have heard the report if

THAT is what you must tell us.
"Well, then, was not in the house. F"
"If not in the house, where were you
when the shot was fred?" But she was
too shrewd 10 be caught III this trap and
replied:
81 lid not say | heard the shot"
"You said you were not in the house
when the shooting took place. How
could you be sure of that unless you
heard it from some other point:"
You said l would have heard it if
had been in the house, Z" replied the girl
triumphantly, but MIR. Upper quickly
went on:
"Ah! Then you mean to say that you
did not hear the report?"
Il don't mean to say anything Of the
kind, " she retorted with similar rapid
ity. This was a trick of Mr.. Tupper's
10 get his witness excited and then by
rapid questioning to surprise her into
such an admission as she had just made.
The words were scarcely uttered before
she saw their import, and she continued
savagely: lyon are making me say
what don't mean. Why don't You ask
for what you want to know without so
much beating round the bush:'
"Well, then, come to the point. Did
you hear the pistol shot on Sunday
night"
But the girl kept silent awhile and
then jumped off the stand, and dropping
into seat burst into tears Mr.. Upper
and Mr.. Barnes talked in low tones for
several minutes. and then the former
whispered to the squire, who called to
the stand the workmen alluded to by
the last witness. The squire himself
questioned them, while the lawyer and
detective consulted.
The witnesses appeared separately,
but their testimony shed no light Oh
the matter. as the four older men had
spent the evening at the saloon, while
the younger had retired to the house
across the road aud had gone to sleep at

THE INQUEST.

IL was decided that the inquest should
be continued that same afternoon. The
squire had notified the district attorney
at Dover TO be present and assist, and
he arrived during the morning. All of
the jurymen and witnesses were there
fore notified to be present at the squire's
house at 2o'clock. This was at the sug-
gestion Of Mr.. Barnes, who had spe-
cial reason for not going back TO the
farm. He did not wish Virginia to
know that Marvel had been captured
until after she had testified. To further
this end Marvel was instructed to re-
