deed, know him very we'll. This has
always been a respectable establish
ment, and the only time that we have
ever had'the police in it was over this
very fellow. 1t was more than year
ago now. He knitted another Italian in
the street, and then he came to the
works with the police on his heels, and
he was taken here. Beppo was his
name-his second name I never knew.
Served me right for engaging a man
with such face. But he was good
workman-one of the best"
"What did he get?'
"The man lived, and he got off with
year. I have no doubt he is out now,
but he has not dared to show his nose
here. We have a cousin of his here,
and dare say he could tell you where
he isl
''No, no." cried Holmes; mot word
to the cousin-not a word, beg of you.
The matter is very important, and the
farther go with it the more important
it seems to grow. When you referred
in your ledger to the sale of those casts
observed that the date was June 8
of last year. Could you give me the
date when Beppo was arrested?"
II could tell you roughly by the pay
list" the manager answered. eyes,"
he continued, after some turning over
of pages, che was paid last on May 90"
''Thank you,' said Holmes. II don't
think that / need intrude upon your
time and patience any more" With
last word Of caution that he should say
nothing as to our researches we turned
our faces westward once more.
The afternoon was far advanced be-
fore we were able to snatch hasty
luncheon at a restaurant. A news bill
at the entrance announced: "Kensing-
ton Outrage. Murder by Mailman"
and the contents of the paper showed
that Mr.. Horace Harker had got his
account into print after all. Two col
umns were occupied with highly SEN
sational and howery rendering of the
whole incident. Holmes propped it
against the cruet stand and read it
while he ate. Once or twice he
chuckled.
:'This is all right, Watson" said he.
"Listen to this: Tt is satisfactory to
know that there can be no difference
of opinion upon this case, since Mr..
Lestrade, one of the most experienced
members Of the official force, and Mr..
Sherlock Holmes, the well known con-
sulting expert, have each come to the
conclusion that the grotesque series of
Incidents. which have ended in SO tragic
a fashion, arise from lunacy rather
than from deliberate crime. No ex-
PLANTATION save mental alteration can

only know how to use it. And now, if

back to Kensington and see what the
manager of Harding Bros. has to say
on the natter
The founder of that great emporium
proved to be brisk, crisp little per-
son. very dapper and quick, with
clear head and ready tongue.
..Yes. sir, / have already read the
account in the evening papers. Mr..
Horace Harker is customer OF ours.
We supplied him with the bust some
months ago. We ordered three busts
of that sort from Gelder & Co. of
Stepney. They are all sold now. To
whom? Oh, l dare say by consulting
orr sales book we could very easily tell
YOU. Yes, we have the entries here.
One to Mr. Harker, you see, ana one
to Mr.. Josiah Brown OF Laburnum
lodge, Laburnum Vale, Chiswick, and
one to Mr.. Sandeford of Lower Grove
road, Reading. No, have never seen
this face which you show me IN the
photograph. You would hardly forget
it. would you, sir, for I've seldom seen
an uglier. Have we any Italians on
the staff? Yes, sir; we have several
among our workpeople and cleaners.
l dare say they might get a peep at
that sales book if they wanted to.
There is no particular reason for keep
ing a watch upon that book. Well,
well, it's a very strange business, and
/ hope that you will let me know if
ANYTHING comes Of your inquiries"
Holmes had taken several notes dur
inc Mr.. Harding's evidence, and
could see that he was thoroughly sat
istied by the turn which affairs were
taking. He made 10 remark, however,
save that unless we hurried we should
be late for our appointment with Lee
strade. Sure enough when we reach
ed Baker street the detective was al
ready there, and we found him pacing
I'D and down in q fever Of Impotence.
His look of Importance showed that his
DAVIS work had not been in vain.
"Well?'' he asked. "What luck, Mr..
Holmes?'
"We have had very busy day and
not entirely a wasted one my friend
explained. "We have seen both the re-

knew Oh arrests UeliIg uIdue near Tile new
Jersey shore in mutury cases. He said
he knew that the jurisdiction Of the
Courts of Delaware had extended on the
land upon the eastern side of the Della
ware within the 12-mile circle. The ua-
~derstanding was that the arc of the circle
extended to a certain tree i'll the old
Quaker grave yard in Salem, N. j.
Former U. s.. Marshal Lannon testified
that it was his custom while in office to
serve a process anywhere on the river in
the circle and west of the middle of the
bay south of the circle. He told of seiz-
ing a vessel containing arms and ammuni-
ton for the Cubans. The arms and am
munition were seized upon the pier at
Penn's Grove.
Mr.. Parker, of New Jersey, asked that
the evidence relating to custom in the
Office be stricken out.
After three days hearing the testimony
was finished Last Saturday when some
important historical documents were pro-
duced. Miss Louisa B. Johnson custod-
ian at the rooms Of the Delaware Histori-
cal Society produced the original COM
mission of Gov. Denny to Lieut.. Robt. G.
Hudson. The second paper was a char
ter of Charles II to the Duke of York for
the three lower counties, which comprise
the state of Delaware. The charter is
dated March %, 1858, with the affidavit
of John Page, Of Austin Friars. This af-
idavit is certified to by the Mayor of
London and signed by order of the Privy
Council "Pigott." The other document
was a patent from Edward Andrews to
A. Anthony Los of land in the Delaware
Bay. This patent is dated August 20,
1879.
12-MILE CIRCLE LEASE.
]. Harry Rogers, of New Castle, aged
81 years, exhibited an old document
which he stated he had often seen in the
possession of his grand father, Chief JUS
tice Booth, who had held that office for
thirty years and died in 1928. This pa
per was the ten thousand year lease, dat
ed August 2, 1852, from the Duke Of
York to VIM. Penn, for land in the r.
mile circle. This lease was made in the
twenty-second year of the reign Of King
Charles II, of England, and it is still
well enough preserved to be read. 1t
was in evidence in the celebrated Pea
Patch case, which was practically the be-
ginning of the boundary dispute. The
seal on the document was made of wax
and although broken Mr.. Rogers still has
some of the pieces; He took the seal off
for the purpose of framing it.
Mr.. Parker, of New Jersey, objected OH
the the grounds that it did not appear
the deed was ever delivered and that it
was immaterial.
Mr.. Rogers said he had lived in New
Castle all his life and remembered when
the western channel of the Delaware riv-
err was used entirely. He could recall
the first big boat that went out the east
ern channel. He could remember when
! President Jackson was at New Castle
shortly after his election.
Henry McMullin, who was U. S. Mar
shall from 1878 to 1885, said the custom
during his term as Marshal as to process
on the Delaware was to low water mark
on the Delaware river within the 12-mile
circle.
