NcGloln preserved stolid look. He
appcared to take little interest in the
recital. which. whatever else 1t might
seem. was engrossingly interesting.
Rrynes realized that he had no or
dIuary man to deal with. McGloin was
devoid OF sentiment and apparently
was ignorant of emotion OF any kind.
The inspector moved slowly and eau
tiousIy. He had his part down to per-
foction. He must not overdo 1t. He
must not show signs of impalence'
He sat down at his desk and nodded
nlcasantly and waved his hand In the
direction of the vacant chair. NC
Gloin accepted the invitation ana sat
down facing the courtyard.
Now, Mr.. McGloin," said the in
spector in his most purrinG tones

The inspector arched his eyebrows
in surprise.

echoed.

The prisoner darted quick look OF

"you read the papers. don't you?

And at that psychological moment
two other guards appeared in the
courtyard with Frederick Banfield
walking between them.
McGloin was out of his chair now
gazing down into the yard with bull
ging eyes. The cold sweat stood out
in little beads on his forehead.
In fact" resumed the inspector,
we really have three men who know
all about the murder and who are
probably prepared to tell all they
know"
The guards appeared again. this
time leading Robert Morrisey.
McGloin turned to his inqhisitor. The
look In those steely eyes seemed to
hold every detail of his awful secret.
He could stand the strain no longer.
He threw up his hands and fell on the
floor in Il heap, crying out:
Il did 1t. did it! Stop! For Gods
sake. stop"
Thus ended the most dramatic in
terview ever held in police head.
quarters. What followed was merely
detail. AS soon as McGloin recovered
his self.possession he sat down and
confessed in detail the story of the
murder of Louis Hanier.
1t appears that the four rowd.es
had been "spotting" the shop of the
French wine seller for many days.
They believed that he would have a
large sum of money in the house at
Of ,l. hU1f frDI
they deliberately conceived the plan
of robbing the old man. They knew
enough about their unlawful trade to
get into the shop without difficulty.
They had been drinking. At any rate.
they made so much noise they reused
Hanier from his slumbers. He ap-
peared on the landing at the head OF
the stairway partly dressed. Nc
Gloin, who was at the foot of the
stairs, instinctively reached for his
revolver, and pulling the trigger fired
at the defenseless shopkeeper. The
aim was only too true. The bullet en-
tered the heart of Louis Hanier and
he rolled down the stairs lifeless
lump of clay.
This, in substance, was the confess
sion as 1t was Cleaned from the lips
of the murderer and his confederates.
His one cry to Inspector Byrnes was:
Save me! Save me! Do not let
them hang mel"
But the grim detective, who had
forced the truth from unwilling lips.
made no reply to this hysterical ap-
peal, and in due course of time. after
a trial, McGloin was convicted and re-
ceived the full penalty Of the law as
1t was then administered.
He was hanged by the neck until
dead.

1t would be for Inspector Byrnes' little
drama.
The two men sat facing one another.
Byrnes' soft eyes had assumed their
steely aspect, and he looked straight
at the criminal as II he would read the
very secrets of his soul. McGloin. on
his part. was becoming more Ill at
ease every moment. He fingered his
hat. averted his gaze and fidgeted
around like hen on n hot griddle.
Unexpectedly the door opened and
n man entered the room. Byrnes re-
mained immovable. He did not speak.
McGloin could not restrain his curl

held-the pawnbroker with whom he
had pledged the revolver. He gave n
little gasp. but beyond this did not be-
tray himself The newcomer walked
over to n table in the room, laid an
article there and noiselessly departed.
McGloin turned around deliberately
to see what the pawnbroker had left.
1t was the pistol with which he had
killed Hainer.
Byrnes remained perfectly silent.
This unnatural quiet was too much
for McGloin. He burst out vehement
ly:
What's the meaning of all this? ?
What are you driving at? What do
you want?'
81 want you to tell me all you know
about the Hanier murder was the
placid response.
"rve already told you | know moth
ing"
and don't believe you,' was the
response, in quiet conversational
tones.
Inspector Byrnes arose from his
chair at this point in the interview,
and going over to the table picked up
the pistol and began to fondle 1t lov'
ingly. He walked over to McGloin
and put the weapon in his hands.
"a fine revolver, eh?'
No response.
"Just the thing to kill man with,
eh?"
McGloin shuddered and pushed the
weapon back into the hands OF the
inspector.
Once more Byrnes sat down in his
chair facing McGloin.
More silence.
Presently the inspector spoke again.
We've got man who was wilt
ness of the murder on West Twenty
sixth street"
At that moment, by pre-arranged
signal, two officers crossed the court
yard guarding McGloin's pal, Thomas
Moran. McGloin could see him dis
tinctly and he became SO excited that
he could scarcely sit still in his chair.
"That's not ALL" continued the chief.

ent on the night Of the murder"
