The days of my obscurity were over.

managed to hold in check. now overlooked

day we talked with him. But no such word

by the interview just recounted.

was confined to facts. but some OF these

there. 1t was evident that a considerable

the spectators, but upon the witnesses

or the story so told as to make 1t evident
that Mrs. Jeffrey could not have been alone
in the house at the time of her death.
A photograph had been taken of those
marks and my Identification Of this photo
graph closed my testimony.
AS / returned to my seat / stole a look
toward a certain corner where, with face
bent down upon his hand. Francis jeffrey
sat between Uncle David and the heavily
yelled figure Of Miss Tuttle. Had
there dawned upon him as my testimony
was given any suspicion of the trick by
which he had been proved responsible for
those marks? 1t was impossible to tell.
From the way Miss Tuttle's head was
turned toward him. one might Judge him
to be labOring under an emotion OF no
ordinary character, though he sat like a
statue and hardly seemed to realize how
many eyes were at that moment riveted
upon his face.
I was followed by other detectives who
had been present at the time and who cor
roborated my statement as to the appear
ance of this unhappy woman and the way
the pistol had been tied to her arm. Then
the doctor who had acted under the coroner
was called. After a long and no doubt

lady-a wound which he insisted, with a
marked display of learning. must have

after 1.-THE was asked II the body showed
any other mark of violence.
To this he replied:
There was minute wound at the base
of one of her fingers. the one which is

This statement made all the women pres

altogether without point for the men.
especially when the doctor went on to say:
''The hands were entirely without rings.
As Mrs. jeffrey had been married with a
ring 1 noticed their absence"
WAS this wound which you character
ize as minute a recent one?'

ceived from it's appearance. 1 do not state
that it was so made"
A little thrill which went over the audi
ence at the picture this evoked commune
Gated itself to Miss Tuttle. who trembled
violently. 1t even produced a slight dis
play of emotion in Mr.. jeffrey whose hand
shook where he pressed 1t against his fore
head. But neither uttered a sound, nor
looked up when the next witness was sum-
moned.
This witness proved to be Loretta. who,
on hearing her name called. evinced great
reluctance to come forward. But after
two or three words uttered in her ear by
the friendly jimmy. who had been given a
seat next her, she stepped into the
assumed air of great boldness
which sat upon her with scant
grace. She had need of all the boldness at
her command for the eyes Of all in the
room were fixed on her with the exception
of the two persons most interested in her
testimony. Scrutiny of any kind did not
appear to be acceptable to her. If one could
read the trepidation visible in the short
quick upheavals Of the broad collar which
covered her uneasy breast Was this
shrinking on her part due to natural tim
idity. or had she failings to avow which,
while not vitiating her testimony. would
certainly cause her shame in the presence
of so many men and women? I was not
able to decide this question fmmedia tely;
for after the coroner had ELECTED her name
and the position she held In Mr. Jeffrey's
household he asked whether her duties took
her into Mrs. Jeffrey's room; upon her re-
plying that they did, he further inquired
If she knew Mrs. Jeffrey's rings, and could
say whether they were all to be found on
that lady's toilet table after the police came
In with news Of her death. The answer
was decisive. They were all there; her
rings and all the other ornaments she was
in the daily habit of wearing. with the ex-
ception Of her watch. That was not there

did you see any one else take them
up?"
mo. sir; not till the officer did so.'
VERY well. Loretta. sit down again till
we hear what Durbin has to say about
these rings"
And then the man I hated came forward
and though shrank from acknowledging
it even to myself I could but observe how
strong and quiet and self-possessed he
seemed and how decisive was his testimony
But 1t was equally brief. He had taken
up the rings and he had looked at them.
and on one. the wedding ring. he had de-
tected slight stain of blood. He had call
ed Mr.. Jeffreys attention to it. but that
gentleman had made no comment
This remark had the effect Of concentrat-
Ing general attention upon Mr. Jeffrey. But
he seemed quite oblivious of 1t: his attitude
quick stretching out and withdrawal OF
Miss Tuttle's hand could 1t be seen that
anything had been said calculated to touch
or arouse this man. The coroner cast an
uneasy glance in his direction; then he
motioned Durbin aside and recalled Lor-
eta.
And now I began to be sorry for the girl.
1t Is hard to have ones weakness exposed

co. But there was no way Of letting this

Cora remain with us? She started and her
look grew strange and frightened. Be-
cause I want her to- she cried. I cannot
live without Cora"
These words, so different from what we
were expecting, caused a sensation in the
room and consequently stir. AS the noise
to be heard in all directions Miss Tuttle's
head dropped little. but Francis jeffrey
did not betray any sign Of feeling or even
of attention. The coroner, embarrassed.
perhaps, by this exhibition of silent misery
| SO near him, hesitated a little before he put
his next question. Loretta, on the contrary,
had gathered courage with every word she
spoke and now looked ready for anything.

ner finally suggested.

Very little: as little as two persons could
! who lived together in one house."
This statement, which seemed such con-
| tradiction to her former one, increased the
interest: and much disappointment was
covertly shown when the coroner veered on
from this topic and brusquely inquired:
Did you ever know Mr.. and Mrs. JEFF
frey to have any open rupture?"
The answer was decided one.
Yes On Tuesday morning preceding
her death they had long and angry talk
in their own room, after which Mrs. JEFF
frey made no further effort to conceal her
began to die from that hour"
Mrs. Jeffrey's death had occurred on Wed
nesday evening.
Let us hear what you have to say about
this quarrel and what happened after it.
The girl. with a renewed flush, cast q
deprecatory look at the mass of faces be-
fore her, and. meeting on all sides but one
look OF intense and growing interest, drew
up her neat figure with relieved air and
began story which will proceed to
transcribe for you in the fewest possible
words
Tuesday mornings breakfast had been
q silent one. There had been ball the
night before at some great place on Massa-
chusetts avenue; but no one spoke of 1t.
Miss Tuttle made some remark about q
friend she had met there, but no one
listened to her. she soon stopped and in a
little while left the table. Mr.. and Mrs.
jeffrey sat on, but neither said anything.
Finally Mr.. jeffrey rose and, speaking in a
voice hardly recognizable. remarked that
he had something to say to her, and led
the way to their room. Mrs. jeffrey looked
frightened as she followed him; so fright
ened that 1t was evident that something
very serious had occurred or was about to
occur between them. AS nothing of this
kind had ever happened before. Loretta
frey reappeared; and when he did SO and
she saw no signs Of relief in his face or
manner, she watched, with the silly inter-
est Of girl who had nothing else to oc-
cupy her mind, to see II he would leave
the house in such mood, and without
making peace with hts young bride. To her
surprise. he did not go out at the usual
time. but went to Miss Tuttle's room,
where for q fun half hour he remained
closeted with his sister-in-law, talking in
excited and unnatural tones. Then he went
back for few minutes to where he had

And you believed what was told your
