Mr.. Jeffrey's hand went np to his
mead. Was he acting a part or did
ne really forget just what it was for
his own best welfare to remember? If

Evidently he did not mean to admit
the possibility of the pistol having
been fired by any other hand than her
own. This the coroner noted. Bow
ing with the respect he showed every
man before a jury had decided upon
his guilt, he turned toward the door
out of which had already hurried.

morning." he called back significantly
as he stepped down the stairs.

CHAPTER XII.

over. Henceforth / was re-
garded as a decided factor in
this case-a case which from
this time on assumed another aspect
both at headquarters and in the minds
of people at large. The reporters,
whom we had hitherto managed to
hold in check, now overlooked both the
coroner's office and police headquar-
tiers, and articles appeared in all the
daily papers with just enough sugges-
ton in them to fire the public mind and
make me, for one, anticipate an imme-
date word from Mr.. Jeffrey calculated
to establish the alibi he had failed to
make out on the day we talked with
him. But no such word came. His
memory still played him false, and no
alternative was left but to pursue the
official inquiry in the line suggested by
the interview just recounted.
No proceeding in which / had ever
been engaged interested me as did this
inquest. In the first place, the spec
tators were of very different charac-
ter from the ordinary. AS / wormed
myself along to the seat accorded to
such witnesses as myself brushed by
men of the very highest station and a
few of the lowest and bent my head
more than once in response to the in
quiring gaze of some fashionable lady
who never before, warrant, had found
herself in such scene. BY the time /
reached my place all the others were
seated, and the coroner raped for or
der
was first to take the stand. What
/ said has already been fully amplified
in the foregoing pages. OF course, my
evidence was confined to facts, but
some of these facts were new to most
of the persons there. 1t was evident
that considerable effect was pro-
duced by them, not only on the specta-
tors, but upon the witnesses them
selves For instance, it was the first
time that the marks on the mantelshelf
had been heard of outside the majors
office or the story so told as to make it
evident that Mrs. Jeffrey could not
have been alone I'm the house at the
time of her death.
A photograph had been taken OF those
marks, and my Identification Of this
photograph closed my testimony.
AS returned 10 my seat | stole a
look toward a certain corner where,
with face bent down upon bis hand,
Francis Jeffrey sat between Uncle Da-
yid and the heavily yelled figure OF
Miss futile,

tiyes who had been present az the
time and who c0Tr0borated my state

a little thrill which went over the
audience at the picture this evoked
communicated itself to Miss futile.
VINO trembled violently. 1t even pro-
duoed slight display of emotion in
Mr.. Jeffrey, whose hand shook where
ne pressed 1t against his forehead. But
neither uttered sound nor looked up

This witness proved to be Loretta.
who, on hearing her name called,
evinced great reluctance to come for
ward. After the coroner had ELECTED
her name and the position she held In
MI Jeffrey's household he asked
whether her duties took her into Mrs
Jeffrey's room. Upon her replying that
they did, he further inquiged If she
knew Mrs. Jeffrey's rings, and could
say whether they were all to be found
on that ladys 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 exception of her
watch. That was not there.

mo, SIR"
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 / hated came for
ward, and, though shrank from ac-
knowledging it even to myself, could
but observe how strong and quiet and
self possessed he seemed and how de-
cssive 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 detected slight stain OF blood.
he had called Mr.. Jeffrey's attention
to 1t, but that gentleman had made no
comment.
This remark had the effect OF con-
centrating general attention upon MIR.
Jeffrey. But he seemed quite oblivi-
GUS of it; his attitude remained M
changed, and only from the 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 re-
called Loretta.
And now began to be sorry for the
girl. 1t Is hard to have ones weak
nesses exposed, especially If one is
more foolish than wicked. But there
was no way Of letting this girl off with

THE MONGOLIA

Count Hirokichf Mutsu, first secre-
tary of the Japanese Legation in
Washington and japanese Consul at
San Francisco from 1898 to 1900, ar
rived in this city last night from
Washington. He took apartments at
the Occidental Hotel, registered from
Toxic and gave orders that he was
very tired and would not be seen or
interviewed as to his destination or
mission.
Count Mutsu received his English
education at Cambridge University
and was admitted to the bar in Lon
don at the age of "a. When he re-
turned to Japan he was made trans
lator and practically secretary to Mar
quis Ito, at that time the chief Jap
anese military parsonage in the war
with China. Next he was an attache
of the Japanese Legation at Picking.
Then he was sent to America as the
third secretary of the Japanese Lega-
ton at Washington. Next he was
appointed Consul at San Francisco.
His next promotion was to the position
of second secretary OF the Japanese
Legation at Rome. Last year he was
again promoted, being transferred to
America and made first secretary of
the Japanese Legation at Washington.
Count Mutsu is scarcely 40 years of
age. He has many friends in San
Francisco. Whether or not he is go

ceive some new advancement is not

TOYO KISEN
MAY RE TIRE

The Examiner of May has the fol-
lowing concerning the japanese lines
of steamships calling at Honolulu:
The japanese Steamship Company,
Togo Kfsen Kaisha, is to temporarily
retire from this port and its force of
white officers, clerks and other en-
ployees are seeking positions elsewhere.
General Agent W H. Avery, so far as
is now known, will continue to main
tain his office here, with at least part
of his Office force. Japan's war with
Russia is the cause of the company
giving up its business at this port and
1t is certain it will not be able to re-
sumo the service until that war is end
ed. The Japanese company, Nippon
Yusen Kaislla, abandoned its Seattle
service for the same reason about a
month ago.
The Japanese authorities impressed
two of the ships of the Togo Kisen
Kaisha, the Hongkong Maru and the
Nippon Maru, as transports over two
months ago. AS soon as its third
steamer. the America Maru, which
sails from this port on May 18th,
reaches the other side the japanese are
to take her as transport. With the
departure of the America Maru the
company,s service from this port will
for the present terminate.
Even if the company had available
steamers it is doubtful if it could do
any business in and out of this port
War insurance is up to As per cent on
cargoes on Japanese vessels. 1t is. ow-
ing to. this very high insurance that
the America Maru viii sail from here
with absolutely no cargo. She will
have very few passengers, owing to
the fear Of the travelling public that
the vessel might be seized by Russian
