behalf Of her brother. Several times
in the cours of the examination she
seemed on the point of saying m
thing condemnatory of her father,
but the tragic character of his death
restrained her. Her self-possession
was faultless in its f~rigidity, and she
answered all the questions put to her
with the c%learest precision.
After the usual preliminary ques-
ions she was asked: what were
the relations existing between your
father and your brother?"
MY father entertained a feeling of
the most uncompromising hostility
toward Herbert; in fact, he seemed
to hate him more than he did IL
being on EARTH"
"And your brother-how did he feel
toward your father?" asked the coro-
ner, promptly.

"Did he ever express himself vim
dictive]y toward your father in your
~presence?"
'No; he has complained at times
Of my fathers treatment, but that
was ALL"
do you know of any reason why
he should have been interested in
bringing about your fathers death?''
81 do not. He could hardly have ex-
pected my father to leave him any
thing"
Have you examined your fathers
will?"
"No, sir; I have not given the SUBJ
ject a thought"

he left a will OF not?"
II do not"

eyes; the French word 'Amitie'
was engraved inside the case"
"You would know the watch then if
you ia it?"
Certainly"
From a small bundle which had
been handed him by the chief of po-
ice the coroner took out two
watches. One of these he examined
for a moment and then passed it
to the witness with the question:
Can you identify this watch?"
"Yes; it is my fathers"
"Did this other one also belong to
| him?"
A second watch of a handsome de-
sign was handed to her, which she
was positive she had never seen be-
fore. This watch had no inscription
of any kind, but it bore the number
$500 and was of a Swiss make.
The o then handed her a pair
of sleeve buttons, a diamond pin and
a pocket knife. Miss Wright identi-
fed the sleeve buttons and the knife
as her fathers, but did not think the
pin was his. He never wore jewelry
of any kind, and she had never seen
the pin before.
While this part of the examination
was going on, Miss Wright was nerv-
u and wore a startled air, which
might be interpreted either as an
admission that she had been subject
ed to a line of examination that she
was giving testimony to the detri-
ment of her brother in some way
which was inscrutable to her. Crop
ing thus in the dark, she was growing
more and more agitated, and her self
possession was near to breaking down
completely. Fortunately she was not
subjected to any further inquisitorial
process, and, half dazed with fear
and uncertainty, she left the stand
and quilted the room, casting as she
did SO a glance full of questioning de-
spair upon her brother.
The full significance of this testi-
mony vas now brought out by plac-
ing on the stand Detective Fenton.
He told a very plain and damaging
story.
Yesterday afternoon" he said,
Herbert Wright was arrested on
suspicion, and, as is customary, he
vas taken to the police station and
searched. All the papers and articles
found on him were taken charge of.
Among these were two pawn tickets.
These tickets did not arouse the
slightest suspicion in my mind, for
there arc hundreds of poor people in
the city who have such tickets in
their possession. It has, however, al
ways been a custom of mine to take
the pawn tickets found on all pris-
oners and ascertain what articles
have been pawned. This has in a
good many instances enabled me to
bag some very important criminals.

ENGLISH AS TRANSLATED.
Funny Examples of the Language
as 1t Is Understood in For
eiEn Lands..

Of funny translations there seems
to be a constant supply. One Of our
readers sends us the following, which
he has observed in his travels, says
the London Chronicle. A good deal
has been heard of late about rob-
berries on Italian railways, and now
the companies warn travellers by the
following notice: Putting valuables
into boxes will be considered an
abusive and illegal fact" To this is
added: "It is defended to throw jugs
out of the window" and "To avoid
any disgraceful occurrence, it is for
hidden to put the head out of the
window" In this last there is a
slight confusion over the use of "dis-
grazia," an accident. The following
notice is to be read outside a we'll
known establishment near Bingen:
"Pompous jardin of restoration,
Rhin-wines of the very best posi-
tions J sell on demand" In the bed
rooms of a hotel in Genoa instruc-
lions to visitors r printed in sew
eral languages. The English version
runs: ring once for the chamber
maid, twice for the waiter, three
times for the jack-anapes." This is
appropriately followed by "Hit him
briskly on the head!" which appears
in French in the less violent form of
"Poussez legerement lie bouton."
With "jack-anapes" the translator
seems to-have got hold of "faquin,'
with it's meaning of rascal, puppy;
but, though derived from it, it is
hardly the equivalent to "facchino,"
! porter,
