get hold Of it. If it was really in
Moore's wallet. he's guilty beyond a
doubt, but the jury wasn't convinced.
Professor Warren's tests are little
beyond the comprehension.
CHANGING at Professor Warren, | saw
that he was preparing to be called i'm
mediately, and as he was gathering up
his little laboratory l marked with
some surprise that his trembling hands
made the glass rattle.
He was blown up over at the college
many years ago." said my friend. "The
lawyer for the defense made quite a
point of that, though Warren was only
youth at the time
The days proceedings opened with
the continuation of Deacon Lewis tes-
timony, after which some of those who
had been with him described the scene.
This made a considerable impression,
having with the jury the strength of
all eyewitness" evidence Contrasted

Warren's chemicals drop of this or

leather from an old wallet-this plain
talk about seeing a man walking along
the street seemed as strong as GER

/ saw Moores yellow eyes shining
with encouragement and / marked in
creasing pallor on the face of young
Norton, who the day before had thrown
away his chance of avenging the death
of the woman he loved; who had testi-
fed that he had seen in Sudbury at the
critical hour "a man who looked like
Moore" but could not be persuaded by
all the district attorneys arts to say

But upon the question whether he
had really loved Mary bennett or, be-

her dead he was firm and explicit, say
ing that he loved her with all his heart
and had been waiting only for better
worldly fortune before uniting himself

which the simplest is that by muriatic
acid. Dissolve a little of the poison in
tube of water and the liquid re-

of the acid, and a vivid green hue re-
suits. The professor explained this
test to the jury, and, having done SO,
he put his hand into his waistcoat
| pocket and produced small tube, from
which he poured a quantity of the poi
son in the form of a powder upon q
sheet of white paper.
"This is visible to you ALL" he said
but the district attorney expressed a
fear that it might not be So as both the
powder and the paper were white,
whereupon the professor felt in his
waistcoat pocket again and then
poured out more powder.
