sat together beneath the walnut trees
at the farther bunker of the Country
club links.
1t was one Of those haZy afternoons
which beget condolences. Miss Reeves
herself could not have told how the
conversation led up TO 1t, but before
she was really aware of what she was
doing she was telling Parkinson all
about II and Parkinson was listening
with grave sympathy
She told the whole bitter story-her
engagement to Tom Marshall, the quar-
rel which had broken 1t off and even
the ugly rumors which had come to
her ears concerning Marshalrs down
hill course since that time, and as she
finished there were tears in her eyes
and a strange little quaver in her
voice.
Parkinson was tremendously i'm
pressed He had never seen her in a
serious mood before. He sat quite still
for long time staring thoughtfully at
the walnut leaves above his head, stir
ring lndolently in the breeze Then he
smiled his slow, enigmatlc smile
Don't you think It's too hot TO play
the rest of the course" he asked, and,
helping her TO her feet, he suggested
that they go back to the clubhouse for
tea
They went back In silence Once or
twice she glanced at Parkinson curl
ously. There was still smile on his
face, but It was a very strange smile.
It seemed to mask something going on
IN his mind.
The following Monday Parkinson OBJ
tanned n leave Of absence from the Of
fee and went to Boston. The latest
reports had located Tom Marshall
there. Il was several days before
Parkinson found him in an obscure
little hotel Marshall was looking
seedy, and there were unmistakable
marks of dissipation on his handsome
face

ed the dingy room where Marshall in
his shirt sleeves was sorting out bunch
es of lottery tickets It's good old

Parkinson sat down on a rickety
chair. The room was small and hot.
Moreover. he had Just climbed six
long flights Of stairs He looked rather
sired and wilted.
Look here, Tom," he said abruptly,
you'd better cut this out and come
home with me-
Marshall laughed unpleasantly.

"Yes it is" said Parkinson. with un-
wonted sharpness. Listen To me,
Tom. There's a girl over there that's

There was something like pain in his

Marshall tossed the lottery tickets
on to the bed and turned to the other
man with sudden comprehension.

Defense That Will Be Made in the Case
of Man Accused of q
Murder.

Somerville, Nj, May 16-That Geo.
H. Wood had a dual personality, and
that his better nature knows nothing
of anything that may be done under
the influence Of the evil spell, will be
the defense made by Woods attorney
when he is put on trial here for the
murder of George Williams last win
ter. 1t is believed that this will be the
first time this novel defense has been
offered in murder case in the history
of criminOlOgy.
Williams, storekeeper in the vii
lage of Watching, N. j., was found
shot to death in his sleigh a short dis
lance from his home early last Feb
ruary. He had started from the village
to drive strange man to farm house
some distance away, and suspicion at
once rested upon the stranger. Wood
was arrested and identified as the man
who had accompanied Williams, and
was charged with the murder. At the
time of his arrest he alleged that for
three days his mind had been blank
and that he remembered nothing Of
that period.

Charlotte Ward a Beauty.
FORCED TO MARRY SIR WILLIAM
Afterward Ran Away from Him and Her
Life Was Wrecked.

Afterward Ran Away from Him and Her
Life Was Wrecked.
Mrs. Norris then continued: "One
of the elder sisters, who had left the
Troy school before Charlotte entered,
had been engaged to New York poll
tician. Yes, / know his name, but
won't give it. PIE afterward was the
cause of the wrecking of Charlotte's
life. She met this man, and he trans
ferred his affections from the elder sis
ter. Charlotte told me that her father
was determined to make her marry an
English army officer. She said IL he
carried out his determination she
would run away from her husband at
the first opportunity. Afterward she
made good her threat.
when she had run away from her
husbands home in England and had
come back to find her fathers house
closed to her, she went to Troy, hoping
to find employment as a teacher at the
Willard school. Before she made appli-
cation her old lover had sought her out,
and the rest Of this part Of the story
is not hard to guess. This man de-
serted her, and apparently she sank
lower and lower"
The Ward family was wealthy. Dur
ing the time that the prisoner was
awaiting trial there was a reception
r;xyoy Of tho VXy;1lo nj cobooJ XNbo,, r.
was at it's height William Ward and
his sister, Lady William Elliott, were
announced. Into the parlor they came,
and every one recognized in the per-
son of Lady William, Charlotte Ward.
Ward and sister stayed only a few
minutes Ward said that he and his
sister were simply passing through
Troy and must take an early train.
They left the reception in a closed
carriage, but that carriage went to
the Jail instead of the railroad station.
The ruse, accomplished probably as
other things have been accomplished
where a wealthy family's reputation is
at stake, served it's purpose. When the
prisoner was arrGgned under the name
of Henrietta Robinson she wore a We
and it was never lifted, save for an in
slant when the judge sentenced her,
during the whole course of the trial.
1t was this which gave the woman
the name Of the "veiled murderess.''
Prior to her arrest the ''veiled muir
deress" had lived for some time in a
secluded manner in Troy. She had been
deserted by the man she loved, and
she had few acquaintance. They
knew her simply as Mrs. Robinson.
The man and woman whom she was
convicted of poisoning were casual ac-
quaintances She gave them beer with
arsenic in it to drink. No motive for
the crime ever discovered.
For theIast twenty years the "veiled
murderess" had been insane, her insan-
ity causing her transfer from Sing Sing
to Matteawan.
