Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-09-14

1ARYsGJ animation of Tray. They were now on their way to Liverpool street, and thence the detective intend ed to convey the boy to Pashs office, in Chancery lane. Paul sat in one corner much excited over the turn events had taken. He began to think that the assassin of Aaron Norman would be found, after all. More he be lieved that Sylvia would yet Inherit the five thousand a year she was en- titled to morally, if not legally. Hurd. in another corner, pulled Tray roughly toward him and shook his finger in the lads face. The boy was sulky and defiant, yet there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and the reason of this Hurd wished to learn.
 You're q young liar," said Hurd emphatically, and not a clever one either. Do you think to play the fool with me?'
 i've tole you all straight" grumbled Tray.
 No, you haven't Any one can see that you've made mistake, l leave it to MT. Beecot wonder"
 II was about to draw your atten- ton to the mistake" said Paul. you mean the discrepancy in time."
 Master Clump started and became more sulky than ever. He cast down his cunning eyes and shuf1icd with his feet while Hurd lectured him. You know well enough" said the detective sharply, that the brooch was boned by you on the very evening when the murder took place. It was then that MT. Beecot met with his accident. Therefore you could not have given the brooch to MT. Fash the next morn ing. as 1t had been used on the previ- ous night"
 "Sha'n't say anythin' more" re- torted Tray defiantly
 "Oh, won't you?' cried Hurd ironic- ally. Well see about that. You told that lie about the time Co account for your knowing of the murder before any one else did"
 No" said Tray decidedly; 'I did go to the shorp In tn mornin'."
 That you may have done, but not to sell the brooch. Mir. Fash had talk en it from you on the previous night"
 SHe didn't" denied the boy.
 "Then in that case you've told a fife. Fash never had the brooch and has nothing to do with the murder"
 He did prig the brooch from me, and he did kill the ole cove"
 "Well, we'll see what Mir. Fash will say when you accuse him." said Hurd, 'but I don't believe one word of it. Jt's my opinion that you gave that brooch to a third party on the same evening as you stole 1t Now, thea. who did you give it tO!"
 ''Mr. Fash" persisted Tray.
 "On the same evening""
 There was no reply to this Tray set his lips firmly and refused to speak Hurd shook an admonitory fin ger again. You can't play fast and loose with me, my lad" he said grim ly. "If you didn't part with that brooch. you must be mixed up in the crime yourself Perhaps you pinned the poor wretch's mouth together. It's just the sort of cruel thing a young Cain like you would do"
 'I didn't" said Master Clump dog sedly. You take me io master. and I'll tell him what tells you. He's the one"
 Hurd shook the boy to make him ralk more. but Tray simply threw him, self on the floor of the carriage and howled- The detective therefore pick cd him up and flung him into a cor ner.
