Toms River, \. j., Oct. 16.-Unless
the prose cution. when it calls its wit
nesses in rebuttal, can produce decid-
edly strong evidence today in behalf
of DIR. Frank Brouwer. on trial for the
murder of his wife, the jury that is
listening to the case is likely to ar
rive at very sudden verdict of not
guilty when the ease is given to it
This was field day for the defense,
3 physicians, one of them the person
al physician of George J. Gould the
millionaire, after having the symp-
toms which marked Mrs. Brouwers
last illness described to them unhesi-
tatingly swearing that in their opin-
ion she died of ptomaine poisoning
The aged mother of the defendant al
so testified in his behalf and when
she staggered from the witness stand
weak with the ordeal through which
she had passed, but protesting that
her boy could not have killed the
mother of his children there was
hardly a dry eye in the court room.
To the hypothetical question pre-
pared by the defense setting forth va
rious symptoms of the malady by the
rious symptoms of the malady of Mrs
Brouwer. DIR. Mclean Forman. who
was called in consultation in her last
illness said.
Il believe Mrs. Brouwer died of
ptomaine poisoning. Every symptom
indicated this
To the same question DR.. II. Hance,
of Lakewood, n. j., George Goulds
family physician swore:
Il believe from the facts stated at
the trial that Mrs. Brouwer was kill
ed by ptomaine."
This was also the evidence of DIR.
j. w. Mcmillan, the third physician
called as witness by the defense to-
day.
AS result of the development of
the day therefore, DIR. Brouwer went
back to his cell much comforted and
declared that he had no doubt that
he would be free before the end of
the week.

KRONE is COMPLIMENTED
State Red Men are Highly Pleased
With his Administration Of
Their Affairs.

The Richmond delegation of Red
Men attending the annual gathering
of the order at Indianapolis has re
ceived fine entertainment. Fred
Krone, who is the retiring Great
Sachem and who becomes Great
Prophet, in line of regular promition,
has been complimented on every side
for the successful administration of
the orders affairs. In the entire his
tory of Red Men in Indiana, Mr..
Krones administration witnessed the
biggest growth with the exception of
one year. When it is understood that
there are more fraternal OrganiZa-
tions in Indiana now than there were
ten years ago and that each of them
is striving hard to increase its mem
bership, the record of Mr. Krone is
exceptionally gratifying to himself
and his friends. The sessions will
end today and the Richmond delega-
tion will return this evening.

excellent authority that the Indiana,

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

TT is name-day of the King of the ancient King
L dom of kravonia, and the capital city of Slavna
is given over to festivities in His Maestys honor
Sophie de Gruche is new to Slavna and its peo-
pie, except to Marie Zerkovitch and the latter s
husband proprietor of the leading newspaper in
kravonia. She has come to SIavna to find her
fortune, and, being spirited English girl, of much
experience in Paris and elsewhere she refuses with
much independence to be an object of charity from
her friends. Fortune is not friendly at first, how
ever, and on this festal day sophy has only few
between her and dire want.
Sophy is watching the military parade, and lis
tening to the court gossip of Captain Markart
The latter hints at some grave scandals in imperial
affairs, notably the evident existence of factions
some plotting for the elevation of the Kings son
by a morganatlc wife IN place of the legitimate
Prince
The Prince is considered martinez by the
Slavna military, of whom he is garrison COM
mandant and there is no small objecting when an
order is issued that all soldiers must remain at
barracks during this merry evening. Captain
Mistitch (nicknamed Captain " Hercules ~, the
Rastatz and Sterkoff to join him in defying the
order, and the three start out to find the Prince
loudly Boosting of what will happen when they
meet him.
They do meet him soon. Rastatz fees in terror
and Sterkoff coneeals himself behind pillar, leav-
ing Mstitch to make good his threats. The latter
defies the Commandment In the ensuing duel the
Prince sewers the tendons of Mistitchs wrist. and
is about to march him off to the guard house, when
Sterkof springs out of the darkness to stab the
Prince in the back.
At that instant Sophy who has been watching
the encounter from window overhead, let's fall
heavy bronze statue, which brushes the would-be
assassin to the ground.
Sophy receives her reward, the King appointing
her Keeper of the Tapestries, at four hundred
pounds year; but there is end of trouble
over Mistitch's proposed execution. The Prince
is firm in his intention, despite the protests of
General Stenovics and Hercules's admirers; but
finally consents to reprieve his assaant, when
the General approves order for lot of cannon
which will give the Princes tower command of
the city. This is a bitter potion for the anti
Prince faction to swallow StelOVcS had refused
the guns previously: but they have to do it to
save themselves with the populace.

turned to look back toward Volseni.
The Prince stood close by her That's
good; but life has better things" he said softly
To ride together is good, and to play together;
but to work together is better still, Baroness"
For moment Sophy was silent. Then she
laughed in joy. We'll, I'm to wear your
uniform henceforth, monseigneur!'
He took her hand and kissed it. Slowly and
gradually she drew it away, her eyes meeting

the top of the causeway opened Marie Zerko-

hand; the sudden light flooded their faces
For moment more he looked at her, then
went down again on his way to the stables
Sophy up to where Marie Zerkovitch
stood. You heard Our horses?' she asked
gaily.
But there was no responsive smile on
Maries lips. For her too the light had shone
on those two faces, and she was sorely troubled

Volseni in the sheepskin cap and tunic, short
habit of blue hiding her leather breeches and
coming halfway over her long boots. The
Prince gave her his hand as they rode into the
market-pace.
Marie Zerkovitch trenbled, Max Won Ho1l-
brandt shrugged his shoulders with laugh
and little Rastatz drove back to Slavna
through the night. He thought that he had
seen enough for his purposes; a report of it
would be useful in the city on the Krath.
