He was cool and business-1ike. 'What is it,

Watson probably thought 1 about to con-

Lets step in here and talk over this case.
Watson entered ahead of me- unsuspectingly.
I took the only other chair, that Watson had to
seat himself in Truxton's chair before the desk.
Almost the first thing his hand came in contact
with was the revolver, which lay exactly where
it was found after the discovery of the crime. He
withdrew his hand from the weapon, if it had
scorched him. The effect upon Watson's nerves
was so disquieting that he sprang to his feet. He
became white, and his eyes wandered from the
revolver to and back again. His nervous

in the hope that he would supply us with clue.
One afternoon he left the work he was overseeing to
90 down town. There he visited the office OF con-
tractor named Watson, who had been business
rival of Truxton. The natural inference would be
that he was seeking new job. But he did not go
back to his work; he went to savings-bank on the
East Side and deposited some money. We have
means of ascertaining all about such things, and
soon knew that the sum put in the bank was small,
what might be part of his weekly wages
Meanwhile, the autopsy and the Coroner's inquest
had been held The former showed that the bullet
in the dead mans head had not been fired from
Truxton's pistol. That established the fact OF
murder. But where was the ball that belonged
to the second cartridge? Presumably it had taken
effect in the assailant and he had carried it away
in his body. The hospitals had no case of pistol
wounding at that time-an unusual thing.
Casey was taken into custody one morning as
he was going to work He was brought to head
quarters and employed for his benefit a common
trick of the Third Degree the "Reconstitution

The French rely greatly upon CONFORMATION,
confronting the suspected murderer with the body
of his victim. There is no doubt that this works
we'll in France, its success being due, perhaps to
the strongly imaginative, intense and highly strung
French nature. Fear causes loathing, and horror
or hate causes revival of anger, and betrayal
results in one way or another. According to my
experience, however, this plan has no value IN this
country. l tried it many times, but rarely have
known a murderer to show the least feeling under
such circumstances. Possibly it is difference in
national character; possibly it is something for
which Our accused parties prepared.
l found it valuable, however, to talk over the
crime with an accused man in the presence of all
the accessories. Touching and handling the weapon
discussing the position OF the victim; how he must
have turned, moved, risen, etc; the light from the
window; whether or not others who
might have heard seer-a discussion OF all these
facts is practically certain to make a man be-
