CHAPTER Nj.


The murnur of a restless crowd, the
taking their places, the Whispering OF
newspaper reporters, the quick tread
OF policemen passing to and fro, the
rustic of lawyers papers, and the bang
ing of doors ceased, and absolute silence
iell upon all as Olive Dumbarton took
the place assigned to her in the cor
oner's court. In front OF the unhappy
woman, who was dressed i'm black and
heavily yelled, sat her solicitor, George
Goris, beside her George Bostock, with
lDr. QuaNe and his son. Her daughter
and the ~serVan We're in an adjoining
room, it being considered desirable n a
each witness Should be examined out
OF the hearing Of The others.
After the pIeliminaries, including the
calling Of The roll of Jurors, the identi-
heation Of the deceased, and the state
mont regarding the cause of his death
given by pr. Quave, the coroner ad-
dressed the jury These proceedings,
n said. were held 10 inquire truly not
only how David Dumbarton came to
his death, but likewise to enable the
jury to decide, if possible, by whom
that death had been caused.
Unhappily, they We're all aware on
whom il Vas that the gravest suspicion
had fallen. 1t would be idle not 10 sup

did not know some of the circumstan-
ccs OF the ease, either NY means of
the press or in other ways, and i'll was
