Sitting There Crying Your Eyes Out
Won't Do Him Any Good"
them theories of yours make a hit
with college students and amateur
professors, but they don't go with u.s.
You can't make a man say yes when
he wants to say no"
DR. Bernstein smiled.
81 don't agree with you," he said.
you can make him say anything, or
believe anything-or do anything If
he is unable to resist your will"
The captain burst into hearty peal
of laughter.
"Ha, ha! What's the use of
chinnin'? We've got him to rights.
tell you doctor, no newspaper can
say that my precinct amt cleaned up.
My record is a hundred convictions
to one acquittal I catch EN- with
the goods when l go after emil"
A faint smile lowered about the
Doctors face.
81 know your reputation" he said
sarcastically.
The captain thought the doctor was
1attering him, so he rubbed his hands
with satisfaction, as he replied
That's right. I'm after results.
None of them Psyche themes for
mine" Striding over to the armchair
where sat Howard, he laid a rough
hand on his shoulder.
Hey Jeffries, wake up"
Howard opened his eyes and stared
stupidity about him. The captain took
him by the collar of his coat.
"Come-stand up! Brace up now!"
Turning to Sergeant Maloney, he
added, Take him over to the station.
Write out that confession and make
him sign it before breakfast. I'll be
right over"
Howard struggled to his feet and
Maloney helped him arrange his col
lar and tie. Officer Delaney clapped
his hat on his head. DIR. Bernstein
turned to go.
Woodworking, captain I'll make
out my report"
Good morning, doctor"
DR.. Bernstein disappeared and Capt.
Clinton turned to look at Annie, who
had been waiting patiently in the
background. Her anguish on seeing
Towards condition was unspeakable.
1t was only with difficulty that she re-
strained herself from crying out and
rushing to his side. But these stern,
uniformed men irtimidated her It
seemed to her that Howard was on
tr1aI-a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. &c fn
in danger. What could he have done?
OF course, he was innocent, whatever
the charge was. He wouldn't harm a
fly. She was sure of that But every
one looked so grave, and there was
big crowd gathere@ in front of the
hotel when she came up. She thought
| she had heard the terrible word muir
der" but surely there was some mis-
| take. Seeing Capt. Clinton turn in
her direction, she darted eagerly for
ward.
May l speak to him, sir? He is
my husband"
! Not just now" replied the captain,
not unkindly. TITS against the rules.
| Wait till we get him to the Tombs.
You can see him all you want there"
Annie's heart sank Could she have
heard Alright?
THE Tombs!" she faltered. "Is
the charge so serious?"
"Murder-that's all" replied the
captain laconically.
Annie nearly swoomed Had she
not caught the back of a chair she
would have fallen.
The captain turned to Maloney and,
in a low tone, said:
Quick! Get him over to the sta.
ton We don't want any family
scenes here"
Manacled to officer Delaney and
escorted on the other side by Ma
loney, Howard made his way toward
the door Just as he reached it he
caught sight of his wife who, with
tears streaming down her cheeks,
was watching him as If In a dream.
To her 1t seemed like some hideous
nightmare from which both would
soon awaken Howard recognized
her, yet seemed too dazed to wonder
how she came there He simply
blurted out as he passed:
Something's happened, Annie, dear.
I-Underwood-I don't quite know"
The policemen pushed him through
the door, which closed behind him.
