b, shot, and. giving alarm, 1t was found
that the husband had hcen shot through
tie heart. Il was nottG that nothing in
the house had been taken and no prepara-
ton made for robbery. A window which
had been left unfastened left the means
of insiess. and the shooting had taken
place in the sitting room. Mrs. Higgins
was sure that there had been "A sort OF
dispute before the fatal shot was fired
She vas sure of her husbands voice, but
as TO the other, she was undecided as 10
whether 1t WAS a mans or woman's. The
detectives proceeded on the theory that a
man had effected an entrance with intent
to plunder. He had no sooner sot into
the house than he WAS confronted by Hig-
gins. who. though unarmed was strong
man. He had probably called upon the
burglar to surrender and perhaps laid
hands on him and had been killed that
capture might be avoided.
The first suspect arrested was the hos
tier al the barns OF one OF the hotels
He had been seen on the street at mid
night he was known to have a pistol. he
betrayed many signs Of guilt whom ar
rested. I was employed in his defense.
and after half an hours talk came to the
conclusion that he was guilty. He didn t
admit his guilt, but at the same time he
didn't deny II with the warmth expected
of an innocent man. 1t was by accident
altogether that I made a series Of discov-
cries. This man had planned with anoth-
or to break open the passenger depot and
rob the safe. They had been surprised
while at work by a tramp. and the hostler
was afraid TO talk to me or any one else OF
the murder case for fear of being found
out in the lesser crime. When once l had

A building contractor named Otis came
to me to make a confession. He had rea-

his home, and when there was no longer

Mrs. Bowser said no more. and ten
minutes later he rolled the keg down
cellar and proceeded 10 tap it. The
taste was all he anticipated. Indeed
he smacked his lips over II and said TO
himself that it was a superior article
certain twank to it which hers lacked,
and this twang so captivated his palate
that he imbibed a pint or more before
going up stairs. He carried another
pint with him. expecting Mrs. Bowser
to drink half of 1t. but as she declined
even TO taste 1t he sat down to his
paper and slipped at intervals until the
pitcher was empty. About ten min
utes after the last of the summer drink
had disappeared Mrs. Bowser was sud

she looked up TO find Mr.. Bowser gazing

M'MURPHY'S FLATS.

"Vhell, Mr. Sprocket, l don't know

grocer as the janitor OF McMurphy's
fats limped into the store the other
day.
NO; | still live" was the reply, but
I'm not giving the tenants to under
stand that I'm in robust health. This
limp is supposed TO be for rheumatism
In the legs, and on top OF that I have
my regular asthma and heart disease.

"Und dose families--do dey quarrel

"It's sad times over at the fats, Mr..

hours at time when my heart aches
over the wickedness Of human nature.
The last time talked with you each OF
the three women was trying to do the
other in style, but the BARRIERS wife
had carried off the palm. There was a
week in which Mrs. O'Sullivan Of tie
f1rst floor and the Countess Divito OF
the second were crushed to earth. Mrs.
O'Sullivan was the first to rally. One
morning she twisted up her hair in a
knot, spanked three or four Of the chill

and. going up stairs to the colored wo-
man, she knocked on her door and
said:

his going to the house, effecting an en-
trance, telling Higgins what he had done
and then shooting him. He wanted to be
tried for the shooting and believed that
the jury woIi1 acliiit him. Acting on my
advice, he went TO the police with his
story, and at It's conclusion was put under
arrest.
I went to work on the case. but Vas
bowled over at the very outset. Mrs Otis
declared in the most emphatic and earnest
way that she had ever spoken dozen
words to Higgins, her husband had never

for jealousy of any man, and. better than
all, she could prove that from 10 o'clock
in the evening until two hours after mid
night of the murder he was at home and

by three witnesses. Otis had tod me a
