from Anisty, not alone from the shame
of Imprisonment, but from herself as
well-from herself as Maitland knew
her. The burglar out of the way, by
ruse, evasion, or subterfuge she would
be secreted from the prying of the po-
lice, struggled out of the house and
taken to a place of safety, given a
new chance to redeem herself to clean
her hands of the mire of theft, to be-
come worthy of the womanhood that
was hers.
But now-she thrust fnger-nails
cruelty into her soft palms, striving
to contain herself and keep her tongue
from crying aloud to those three
brutal, blind men the truth; that she
was guilty of the robbery, she with
Anisty; that Maitland was-Maitland;
word synonymous with man of
honor"
In the beginning, indeed, all that re-
strained her from doing so was her
knowledge that Maitland would be
more panied by her sacrifice than glad
dened or relieved. He was so sure of
clearing himself. -. 1t was in
conceivable to her that there could be
men so stupid and crassly unobserv-
ant as to be able to confuse the iden-
tity of the two men for a single in
slant. What though they did resemble
each other in form and feature? The
likeness went no deeper; below the
surface, and rising through it with
every word and look and gesture, lay
worldwide gulf of difference in
every shade of thought, feeling, and
| instinct
She herself could never again be de-
ceived-no, never! Not for a second
could she mistake the one for the
other. What were they saying
The turmoil of her indignation sub
sided as she listened, breathlessly, to
Maitland's story of his adventures;
and the Joy that leaped in her for his
frank mendacity in suppressing every
incident that involved her, was all but
overpowering. She could have wept
for sheer happiness; and at later
time she would; but not now, when
everything depended on her maintain

it was with incredulity. resentment,
and a dawning dread lest worse
thing might yet befall her, worse by
far than aught that had gone before.
But to be deprived of his protection,
to feel herself forcibly restrained from

A moment gone she had been so
sure that all would now be well with

come forth and tell him, tell him

with penitence but serene in the as

She had such faith in his tender

GIRLS HELD
FOR GRAND JURY
ASSaiIantS Of Stokes Must
Answer the Charge Of
Attempted Murder
SCORE A POINT IN
REGARD TO LETTERS
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, July 11--On a charge
Of attempted murder. Lillian Graham
and Ethel Conrad were today held for
the Grand Jury by Magistrate Freschi
in the Tombs police court He fixed
bail at $4,000 each In his opinion,
Freschi stated that the story Of the
shooting told by w E. d. Stokes. mil
lionaire hotel proprietor and clubman,
had not been contradicted and that he
could do nothing but bind the girls
over. He declared also that the theft
of the Stokes letters from the fiat oc-
cupied by the two girls would be care
fully investigated.
Defense Scores Point
The defense scored heavily today,
Just before the police court examina-
ton was concluded. A. H. Gleason,
attorney for Stokes, was on the stand
and he related circumstantial story
of the alleged finding of the letters
written by Stokes to Lillian Graham

detective he said had picked up the
| letters from behind a trunk and hand
ed them to him. After examining
them Gleason told him to slip them
! in his pocket" That night they were
turned over to him and he had copies
made after which the letters were
sent to the district attorneys off1ce.
Isn't it a fact that Immediately
after the shooting, Stokes sent for
you and told you that there were
some very valuable papers in that
fat and that he wanted you to go
there and get them before the girls
could secure their release and hide
them?" demanded counsel for the
pair.
Did Not "Plant" Letters.
Gleason finally admitted that he
had such a conversation with Stokes
but insisted that he had not planted
the letters in the apartment for Cum
mings to find.
Wilbur Hart, elevator boy at the
varuna apartments, where the shoot
ling took place, contradicted STOKES
story that he had told him to go right
up to the apartment as he was ex-
pected. Stokes the boy said, entered
the hotel and went direct to the ele-
vator asking to be taken to the Gra-
ham apartment Later Hart admitted
under cross examination that earlier
in the day Lillian Graham had told
him she was expecting a call that
afternoon from 4 man named Stokes
and that when he came ne was to b'
shown direct to her apartment
This closed the case and Fresch
