s It was the morning after the Judges
study into the great contested will
case. A physician stood by his bed
side, while Philo and Sue, mute with
anxiety, listened near by.
You are in no danger, Judge Hol-
brook" said the physician. ''There is
no need to worry. We've brought you:
through all right. There isn't a parti-*
Gle of poison left in your system, and
! 1t you want to get VI and walk around
to-day you can do so. And you can be
perfectly easy about Walton. He has
been identified as the man who put the
powder in the ice water, and he is
now in jail awaiting your action" -.
I'm glad to hear it," was the judges
reply. eff you will let me get up, I
will go down to the curt room before
the session is over"
The physician iDterpcsed no further
objection than to caution the patient
not to overdo. The judge was perfect
@ly calm, and before leaving the house
E1e glanced over the papers he had
been studying when the draft of pois7
On interrupted his labor. The judge
received congrat ulations gravely, and
when he had taken his seat on the
bench other business was suspended to
hear what he had to say.
Last night" he began, and every
body supposed he was about to refer
to the attempt to kill him, II took the
papers in the case Of Teliafer and 9th

study. III order to free myself FROM any
sympathetic interests with the con-
testants, and to determine the strict
bearing Of the law upon the points at
issue. Because of certain circum-
stances, personal to myself, I cannot
now render complete opinion in writ
ing, as I had intended to do at this
time. This deficiency I will make up
at an early day. ~.
Eat present, however, I can an
Donnce my opinion in brief, which is
that the law clearly shows the defend
ant, Walton. to be fully and indisputa-
bly, entitled to the estate Of Joseph Te-
liafer. and judgment is accordingly
rendered for the defendant"
Judge Holbrook Was very pale as he
pronounced these WORDS, ana the croWtl :.
court room was as silent as if a funeral
grafton was being delivered The
silence as he rose from his chair to
leave the place.
