at this point Sarah Carpenter caused
considerable excitement by jumping mp
and exclaiming:
''You are all going on the wrong
track. Let me go on the stand again,
and will prove it." Mr.. Barnes smiled
quietly, and Burrows knew from the
expression of his face that this was just
what he had been counting upon. Her
request being granted. the girl did not
wait for the formality of questions, but
spoke rapidly:
II am sorry now that l did not tell
all knew awhile ago. did hear the
report of a pistol--yes, and more than
one. did lot tell before, because was
afraid it was Will who had done the
shooting. But now l know it was not.
He left me at half past O'Clock to keep
his appointment, and went into the
house to get my things on. We had been
up at the barn. When l was ready to
start for home, l found that had lost
my key. Thinking l must have dropped
it in the barn, went there to look for
it. While there and fully half an hour
after Will had left me suddenly heard
the report of pistol, and then another,
and l think third, though can't be
sure. l know, though, that ran to the
door of the barn, and saw man run
across the lawn and down the road. /
don't know why, but it struck me it
was Will at the time, and that is why l
have been so troubled ever since. But
now 1 know differently, for, thank God,
he has proved that he went straight to
the saloon. You suggested to him that
he might have committed this crime to
serve his friend, but none of you see
that, though he is innocent of having
risked his life in that way, he is ready
to risk it now by letting it seem that he
is guilty, that no suspicion may attach
to Walter Marvel My God, are you

that you were heard to say that impor

II did tell several people that, but ID

Lucas colored deeply. "Idid not look

for wishing people to think me out of

not hesitate to speak as did"
"Will you tell me what those circum-
stances We're which would make you
think it excusable to resort to false
hood?"
~ would rather not"
The squire nodded to Mr.. Upper,
who took the witness.
'.Mr. Lucas, said he, Twas ii moi

Lucas made no reply.

spoke slowly, and Lucas started and
looked confused; but still persisted in
his silence. The lawyer continued:

out the witness, at last aroused to speech
and evidently amazed Mr.. Barnes

INTERESTING TESTIMONY.

During the delivery of the statement
made by Sarah Carpenter there was the
stiffness of death. Her words caused q
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 to say. The
squire at length addressed the witness:

after you had parted from Everly when
you heard the shots fired?"

"Was it showing when you left the

She was then allowed to retire, and

shooting.
