Phipps merely smiled in reply, but

fore him and when the train reached
Detroit there were nearly two hundred
of his former friends waiting at the
station to see him. The reception they
gave the prisoner testified strongly to
the high tide of popularity In his home
town and Murray felt still more IA
vorably inclined toward the man
whom duty compelled him to hand
over to the grim mercies of Canadian
law.
'I'll see you fellows at the Michigan
exchange" called out Phipps to his
cab that Chief Bains of Windsor had
waiting for them. I'D like to take a
farewell drink there" added the pris-
oner to Murray, and the latter nodded
assent and ordered the cabman to
drive to the barroom In question.
Phipps' friends gathered there in full
force and crowded around him, shak-
ing hands and giving vent to loud ex-
pressions of sympathy. Finally Muir
ray delivered himself of short speech
to the crowd that was trenchant and
very much 70 the point.
TITS all ve-y well to be sorry,
boys" said the detective bluntly, "but
Phipps needs something more than
that. What he wants is money for his
defense and I'm ready to start a col

his statement by making handsome
donation and the crowd, growing en-
with the result that a comfortably
large sum was soon subscribed and
given to the prisoner. That done Muir.

place in Detroit he wanted to visit be-

oner. wistfully.
Many times In after life the detec.
tice was glad that he acceded to this
last request of his unfortunate pris.
oner. The cab drove along Jefferson
street and Phipps gazed with soul
hungry eyes upon the house wherein
he had once lived SO happily. He
watched 1t out of the cab window and
then from the window in the back un-

tore himself loose with a wrench SO

for some time, severely bruised and
only half conscious He was aroused
by hearing voices in the jail, and stag

away in search of hiding place
He came to graveyard, and as he
crawled along in the darkness, fell
head foremost into a newly dug grave
Silent he lay without moving, with
fast-closed eyes and rigid body He
heard creaking and humping and
family, as though far away, he heard
the harsh rattle of earth falling on
the casket. Yet no weight seemed to
press upon him, but this did not sur
prise him, for he was long past the
stage of establishment. 1t was the end,
and nothing mattared now. He heard
the rumble of wheels as the carriages
departed and the footsteps of the
mourners died away.
His awakening came suddenly, ac-
companied by cold thrill Of horror.

darkness. He tried to move, but his
entire frame seemed to be paralyzed.
With a rush of recollection there
crossed his mind the memory of the

managed to rise to sitting posture.
Where was the coffin, where the six
feet of earth underneath which 1t lay ?
He staggered to his feet and saw that
the grave he occupied was empty. His
brain whirled madly in a maze of tor
turing conjectures. What did 1t all
mean? He tried to Chamber out, but
fell back exhausted. He lay back on
the hay, rested and tried again. 1t
was the work of an hour for him to
drag his feeble limbs over the edge of
the pit, but at last he succeeded. Then
the mystery was solved. Close beside
the open grave from which he had
emerged a new-made mound stood
darkly in the moonlight The burial
had indeed taken place, but In the
grave adjoining that In which he lay.
The escaped murderer stood up and
laughed hysterically as he looked
around and saw the distant outlines

failing strength he staggered away
from the grave that had been his place
of refuge. On the new-made mound

injured dog, limping on ali fours.
His progress was very SLOW His
destination was the river, which he
reached an hour after midnight, and
where he found an old boat, half full

were healed and his strength returned
he left Detroit resolved to enter upon
new life.
But the Canadian authorities were
not disposed to tamely relinquish the

that 1t would be simply question of

would be obliged to look for Job in

In the case Of fugitive from Justice,

extradition papers. went to Illinois and
took Phipps from Pullman to Chicago.
In the latter city the fugitive en-
pioyed Jesse Ball, an able lawyer, and
made hard fight against extradition.
His counsel endeavored to show that
the shooting was done in American
waters, and there is no hanging in
Michigan. II the crime had been com
mitted In American waters, Phipps
would have been tried In Michigan,
and II convicted, he would not have
been hanged. Murray proved by the
captain of the boat and a number of

done In Canada waters, on the Canada
side OF the river. The legal fight lasted
couple of days, both sides calling
witnesses. and Phipps lost. An appeal
was taken and writ Of habeas corpus
issued. but the proceeding was dis
missed and Murray and his prisoner
started for Canada.
