CHAPTER XIX.

The Jeffries case suddenly entered
into an entirely new phase, and once
more was deemed of sufficient public
interest to warrant column after col
umn of spicy commsnt in the news
papers The town awoke one morn
ing to learn that the long-sought-for
witness, the mysterious woman on
whose testimony everything hinged.
had not only been found but proved
to be the prisoners own wife, who
had been so active in his defense.
This announcement was stupefying
enough to overshadow all other news
of the day. and satisfied the most
jaded palate for sensationalism.
The first question asked on all sides
was: Why had not the wife come for
ward before? The reason, as glibly
explained by an evening journal of
somewhat yellow proclivities, was log
fcal enough. The telling Of her mid
night visit to a single mans rooms
involved a shameful admission which
any woman might well hesitate to
make unless forced to 1t as a last
extremity. Confronted, however, with
the alternative of either seeing her
husband suffer for a crime of which
he was innocent or making public ac-
acknowledgement of her own frailty, she
had chosen the latter course Nat
urally, it meant divorce from the bank
er's son, and undoubtedly this was the
solution most wished for by the family
The whole unsavory affair conveyed
good lesson to reckless young men of
lxt
selves in undesirable matrimonial ad-
ventures But 1t was no less certain,
went on this journalistic mentor, that
this wife, unfaithful as she had proved
herself to be, had really rendered her
husband a signal service in her pres

self, was, of course, complete vindi-
cation for the man awaiting trial His
liberation now depended only on how
quickly the pondercus machinery of
the law could take cognizance of this
new and most important evidence.
The new turn of affairs was nat
urally most distasteful to the police.

another which angered Capt. Clinton it
was to take the trouble to build up a
case only to have it suddenly demol-

as forgery concocted by an immoral
woman for the purpose of defeating
the ends of justice. He kept Annie
prisoner and defied the counsel for
the defense to do their worst. Judge
Brewster, who loved the fray, accept
ed the challenge. He acted promptly.
He secured Annie's release on habeas
corpus proceedings and, his civil suit
against the city having already begun
in the courts. he suddenly called Capt.
Clinton to the stand and gave him
a grilling which more than atoned for
any which the police tyrant had pre-
viously made his victims suffer. IN

mems Picnic is the second minstrel
comedy written by George Cohan. 1t
is a splendid feature and easily rec
ognizable by it's speed and tuneful
hunters.
"Snowball Livingston" as played by
George Evans, gives the admirers OF
this comedian an insight into the ca
liabilities of the Honey Boy, while his
individual offerings in the vaudeville
field and as the star of the Cohan n
Harris Ministries have stamped him as
the funniest monologuist and black
face comedian seen in many a day.
His characterization If the hotel
porter in The Firemen's Picnic Is a
gem of comedy creation. This Conan
minstrel comedy contains several real
musical hits" and embraces THE

smile and a dialect which creates end
less joy, but the climax comes when
he takes his place as leader OF the
orchestra and attempts to direct the
company rehearsal.
He is a characteristic German leader,
