VA YR JErFREY'S examination
s%M and its triumphant conclu-
n sion created great furore in
town. What might be cE-
pected next? Something equally bold
aud reprehcnslble of course but
what3 1t was a question which at the
next sitting completely filled the in
quest room,
To my great surprise Mr.. Jeffrey was
recalled to the stand
Miss futile sat in less conspicuous
position than on the previous day, and
Mr. Moore, her uncle, was not there at
ALL
The testimony called for revived an
old point which seemingly had not
been settled to the coroner's satisfac-
ton.
Had Mr. Jeffrey placed the small
stand holding the candelabrum on the
spot where it had been found? No.
Had he carried into the house at the
time of his acknowledged visit the can
dies which had been afterward discoy-
cred there! No lie had had time
TO think since his hesitating ana IN
satisfactory replies of the day before.
and he was now in position to say
that, while he distinctly remembered
buying candies on his way to the Moore
house, he had not found them in his
pocket on getting there aud 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 lie would find a
candle.
This gave the coroner an opportunity
to ask:
And why did you expect TO find a
candle there?"
The answer astonished ne and.

had dressed for the ceremony. 1t had

My wife had little ways Of her own.
One was 20 complete her toilet by

wore over her temple When at home,
she heated this curling iron in the gas

house, naturally concluded that she

/ had been noticeable under her veil"
He had accounted for one candle In
+ the house. Could he account for the
one found In the tumber or for the one
! lying crushed and battered on the
closet floor?
He could not.
And now we all observed a change
of direction in the inquiry. Witnesses
were summoned to corr0b0rate Mr..
Jeffrey's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which

wife lay dying in the lower part of

The effect was electrical One of the
spcctators-som country boor, no
doubt-so far forgot himself as to cry
out loud enough for all to hear:
