Boston at the very date when the al
tered note was presented at the bank.
That since then he had been convert
ed under the auspices of the Salvation
Army. and had seen In a newspaper
the advertisement inserted by the
plaintiffs counsel for information re-
gardlng the suit, and he lad answered
II in person.
When he left the witness-stand and
the case closed for the plaintiff, there
were many among the audience, and
among the jurymen, too. If their faces
did not belle their minds. who were
more than half persuaded of the
claims of the plaintiff.
Next day Mr.. Ferguson spoke for
upwards of an hour in an easy, grace
ful manner natural to him, and his
outline of the case held the enrapt at
tention of every person in the court
room that morning. There was little
of labored argument, but starting
with the suppostion that his client
was suffering a fraudulent attempt at
election from his own premises, he
proceeded to put the matter before the
jurymen in this light. He said in sub
stance something like the following:

taking his yearly outings in May, as
he is inclined to bilious difficulties and
is not so well able to pursue his busi-
ness in the spring as in the summer.
Far from making any mystery of the
matter, he has invariably told his wife
that he went away for his health. On
one or. two occasions he had other
business of special nature connected
with the mill which 1t was believed
best to keep secret for a time.

Then Mr.. Hamilton returned with

settled up the bank troubles, as ne
said he could not absolutely affirm
that he had not done what was alleged

children received him with open arms.

''In about a week afterwards Edes
was shot there by some one unknown,
probably by Edes himself, to awaken
suspicion against Mr.. Hamilton. He
was Ill for three or four weeks after

covered he professed to recollect that
he was Hamilton instead of Edes.
Mrs. Hamilton professed to believe his
statement, or at least did not deny his

Former Mayor Patrick Collins of

wife chose to make mystery of
them. They had nothing to do with
seeking for twin brother. That silly
fiddle-faddle has no part in the de,

The confession of Hannah Sargent is
of no account, she having told at least
half dozen different stories about the
matter.
when Mr.. Hamilton was away he
was taken with peculiar malady, a
species of insanity. He forgot his
name, place of residence, everything.
Mr.. Barnstead, shall prove by the ev-
idence of his friend Hurd, did not see
Hamilton on the fifteenth; that 1t was
the next Thursday that he witnessed
the meeting at Portland depot instead
of Friday. when Mr.. Hamilton left
home. The claimant is none other
than the notorious Ashley, who got
cornered at Portland depot that very
day, and was arrested by the sheriff
from Goodwill, Harrison county, Ne.
braska.
You will recollect that Mr.. Barn
stead in his testimony could not swear
that he saw the meeting take place
Friday; but Mr.. Hurd is ready TO af
firm, on his oath, that IL was nearly a
week later that he heard the account
from Mr.. Barnstead, and that 1t was
told to him as If it occurred on Thurs
day.
ASHLEY was taken to Goodwill and
incarcerated in Jail there, and it was

absurd story of the twin brother.

in infancy.
Ashley was visited next morning
in Jail by his wife. He denied that she
was his wife, and she did not contra

Mr. Hamilton, for such he was, un-

apparent to all when he stood in the

defendant was leading them. Tall,
erect, impassive, he passed on as in
dream, never hesitating, never
speaking. neither looking to the right
nor to the left.
Thus he led them TO the bank and
up the steps. Pushing open the door,
Mr.. Morley explained their errand to
the cashier.

The late John Y. Muggridge, bril-.

trying a certain case in court 10 that
city, recognized in the witness on the

Here Lawyer Muggrldge, who was a
man of great size, drew himself up to
his full height, and with another wink
at his colleagues, pompously remarked
to the witness: And do you mean to
tell me, DR.. Clough, that If l should

cashier handed 1t to the defendant,
who inserted it in the lock.

see what was in the drawer. Nothing.
evidently, but a piece of tissue paper,
unless that paper contained the dia-
mond stud.
II did.
A flash, a gleam, and the defendant
thrust it into the hands of Mr.. Morley,
instead of his own counsels.
For my wife. Give II to her." and
then he fell prone on the floor.
Had he tainted? Was 1t a fit?
The doctor was called and pronounc-
ed II the last, but he soon revived and
was in short time apparently as well
as ever. He attended the afternoon
session of court, and was the center
of curious interest to all. Indeed, 1t
was generally admitted that he had
triumphed by leading the jurymen
straight to the hiding place, though il
could not be denied that the other
claimant had indicated the place just
as surely by his words, Strange that
both should know what was a secret
except TO one of them and to Mrs.
Hamilton! She seemed daZed by the
circumstances, while hopeless, de-
jected look settled over her counte-
nance.
Tony Osborn's testimony was taken
In the afternoon, and told against the
defendant, since it was plainly made
evident that he had distrusted him
from the first.
"Mr. Osborn" said Mr.. Morley,
"have you any reason for believing
that the claimant is not the true Vane
Hamilton"
None. sir, except the color of his
hair. He has stood every test | have
applied to him. He knows all about
the affairs that took place at the bank
when we We're there together; he
seems to be the true Vane Hamilton
as | knew him."
Two witnesses testified that Solo

shooting of the plaintiff. and that ht
