er their hearts desire! Mr.. Royce had
me by the hand and was whispering
brgkenly in my ear.
Ny dear fellow, you're the best Of
US all. I'll never forget it''
But Rogers was staring in amaze
ment from me to the cloth in his hand
and back again
Green he stammered "Color blind!
Why, that's nonsense! I've never sus-
pected it!'
That's probable enough assented
''The failing is no doubt recent one
Most color blind persons don't know it
until their sight is tested. OF course
we shall have an oculist examine you,
but think this evidence is pretty con-
elusive
Coroner Goldberg nodded, and the
district attorney settled back in his
s9a jEa,ua no ,,,u+,,.u Question. ! -,
this witness at present." continued
'Only I'd like you to preserve this
piece Of cloth, sir" and I handed it to
Goldberg. He placed it with the other
exhibits on his desk, and l sat down
again beside my chief. He had regain
ed all his old time energy and keen
ness. He seemed another man.
81 should like to recall Miss Holla-
days maid, if you please" he said, and
the girl was summoned, while Rogers
stumbled dazedly off to the witness
room.
you're quite sure your mistress
wore dark red gown yesterday, after
T?on?' he asked when the girl was on
The stand again.
"Oh, yes, sir; quite sure
sit was not dark green? Think
carefully now"
81 don't have to Think she retorted
sharply, with toss dof her head
'Miss Holiday hasn't y fn ny dark green
gown, nor light one ether sse+never
wears green. She doesn't like it, 1t
doesn't suit her,
THAT will do said Mr. Royce, and
the girl went back to the witness room
without understanding in the least the
meaning Of the questions. "Now, let
us have the Office boy again. he said,
and that young worthy was called

''Oh, YES, sir.
sand what color was it?'
Darn green, sir
THAT will d. sa.d our Junior, and
sank back in his Ichair with sigh Of
relief. The soluSian had been under
our hands in the morning, and we had
missed it. Well, we had found it new.
Gentlemen" he added, his voice
airing, his face alight. as he sp.ang
to his feet and faced the jury, I'm
y ready for your verdict 1 wish only
to point out that with this one point
the whole case against my client falls
to the ground. 1t was preposterous
from the very tirst!''
He sat down again and glanced at
the coron@r.
Goldberg, Il have merely to remind
you thai your verdict, whatever it
may be, will rot finally affect this
case. The police authorities will con-
Einue their nyestigation in order that
the guilty person may not escape l

may be lett to ADLER and more expe-
tienced hands-nor do 1 think we
should inculpate any one so long as
there is a reasonable doubt of his guilt
We await your verdict
