CHAPTER XIV.

DO not know why the coroner had
solong delayed to call this witness.
What he said was In the way of
confirming the last witness testi-
mony as to his having been at the
Moore house OH Tuesday evening. Mr..
Moore, who was very particular MS to
dates and deys, admitted that the light
which he had seen in certain window
OF his ancestral home on the evening
when he summoned the police was but
the repetition Of one he had detected
there the evening before. 1t was this
repetition which alarmed him and
caused him to break through all his
usual habits and leave his home at
night to notify the police.
The coroner asked him If he had seen
Mr.. Jeffrey go In on the night in ques-
ton; If he had ever seen any one go In
there since the wedding, or even IL he
mad seen any one lettering about the
steps or sneaking into the rear yard.
But the answer was always no; these
same noes growing more and more en-
phatic, and the gentleman more and
more impenetrablc and digpified as the
examination went OH. In fact, he was
as uhassailable witness as 1 have
ever heard testify before any Jury.
Beyond the fact already mentioned ,of
bis having observed light In the oppo.
site house on the two evenings in ques-
ton he admitted nothing. His life in
the little cottage was SO engrossing, he
bad his organ, his dog, why should he
look out of the window? Had 1t pot
been for his usual habit Of letting his
dog run the Davemeats for o quarter of
IN hour before finally locking up for
the night lie would not have seen as
much as he did.
Have you any stated hour for do
ing this7" the coroner now asked.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1904-08-10
aYes; half past O."

Yes; half past g."
"And was this the hour when you
saw that light?"
Eyes; both times"
As he had appeared at the station
house at few minutes before 10, he
was probably correct in this statement.
He wound up with such distinct
repetition of his former emphatic as
sertion as to the presence of light in
the old house on Tuesday as well as
Wednesday evening that Mr.. Jeffrey's
testimony in this regard received de-
cided confirmation. l looked to see
some open recognition of this, when
suddenly and with persistence I'M
derstood only by the police the coro-
ner recalled Mr.. jeffrey and asked him
what proof he had to offer that his
visit of Tuesday had not been repeated
the next night and that he was not in
the building when that fatal trigger
was pulled.
At this leading question n lawyer
| sitting near me edged himself forward
MS If he hoped for some sign from Mr..
jeffrey which would warrant him in
interfering. But Mr.. Jeffrey gave no
such sign. l doubt If he even noticed
this mans proximity, though he knew
him well and had often employed him
rs his legal adviser in times gone by.
He was evidently eXerting himself to
recall the name which SO persistently
eluded his memory, putting his hand to
his head and showing the utmost con-
fusion.

stammered. "There is man who

AR. JETFREY's examination
| and its triumphant conclu-
sion created n great furore in
town. What might be ex-
pected next? Something equally bold
and reprehensible, of course, but
what? 1t was question which at the
next sitting completely filed the In

To my great surprise Mr.. Jeffrey was
recalled to the stand.

Had Mr.. Jeffrey placed the small
stand holding the candelabrum on the
spot where 1t had been found? No.
Had be carried into the house at the
time of his acknowledged visit the can
dies which had been afterward discoy-
cred there? No. He had had time
to think since his hesitating and un-
satisfactory replies Of the day before,
and he was now In position to say
that, while he distinctly remembered
buying candles on his way to the Moore
house, he had not found them in his
pocket on getting there and had been
Obliged to make use of the matches he
always carried on his person in order
to find his way to the upstairs room
where he felt positive he would find
candle.
This gave the coroner an opportunity
to ask:
"And why did you expect to ind a
candle thereT"
The answer astonished me and, I
have no doubt, many others:
1T was the room in which my wife
had dressed for the ceremony. 1t had
not been disturbed since that time.
My wife had little ways Of her own.
One was TO complete her toilet by

The telltale ribbon

this tragedy, should have been kept
so long in reserve and brought out just
at this time, struck many Of Mr.. JEFF
frey's closest friends as unnecessarily
dramatic; but when the coroner, lift
ing out the ribbon, remarked tentative
ly, "You know this ribbonW we were
more struck by the involuntary cry of
surprise which rose from some one In
the crowd about the door than by the
look with which Mr.. Jeffrey eyed it
and made the necessary reply. That
cry had something more than nervous
excitement in it. Identifying the
person who had uttered 1t is n certain
busy little woman well known in town,
sent an officer to watch her; then re-
called my attention to the point the
coroner was attempting to make. He
had forced Mr.. Jeffrey to recognize the
ribbon as the one which had fastened
the pistol to his wife's arm. Now he
asked whether, in his opinion, a wom-
IN could tie such bow to her own
wrist, and when in common Justice
MIR. jeffrey was obliged to say no,
waited third time before he put the
general suspicion again into words:
| Can you not, by some means or
some witness, prove to US that it was
on Tuesday night and not on Wednes-
day you spent the hours you speak of
on this scene of your marriage and
your wife's death!
The hopelessness which more than
once had marked Mr.. Jeffrey's features
since the beginning of this inquiry re-
appeared with renewed force as this
suggestive question fell again upon his
ears, and he was about to repeat his
plea of forgetfulness when the coro-
ner's attention was diverted by re-
quest made in his ear by one of the
detectives. In another moment Mr..
Jeffrey had been waved aside and a
new witness sworn in.
You Gun imagine every ones surprise,
mine most of all, when this witness
proved to be Uncle David.

with a wild look in his aperted eye for
the coroner's next question.
Unhappily for him, it was in continu-
bought candles or not at the grocer's
around the corner? Yes, he had. Be
fore visiting the house? Yes. Had he
also bought matches? Yes. What
kind? Common safety matches. Had
he noticed when he got home that the
box he had just bought was half emp
ty? No. Nevertheless he had used
many matches in going through this
old house, had he not? Possibly. To
light his way upstairs, perhaps? 1t
might be. Had he not so used them?
Yes. Why had he done so If he had
candles in his pocket, which were so
much easier to hold and SO much more
lasting than lighted match? All, he
could not say; he did not know; his
mind was confused. He was awake
when he should have been asleep. 1t
was all dream to him.
The coroner became still more per-
sistent.

"But you swear''-

shadow settled again, and on no head

1t was now late in the day and the Mt
