Of personal cupidity and drunken spite.
And in this be was right. 1t did
weaken it-weakened it to the point
of collapse, If the counsel for the de-
Tense had fully acted up to his oppor-
tunity. But something withheld him.
| Just at the moment when I feared the
truth must come out he hesitated and
veered gradually away from this sub
ject. In his nervous pacings to and
fro before the witness stand his eye
had rested for a moment on Arthur's,
and with this result: The situation
was saved, but alta great loss to the
defendant.
1 began to cherish softened feelings
toward Arthur Cumberland from this
moment. Was it then or later that
he began in his turn to cherish new
and less hostile feelings toward my
self? He had hated me and vowed
my death If l escaped the fate he could
now dimly see opening out before him
self, yet l could see that he was glad
to see me slip from my tormentors
hands with my story u~nimpeached and
that he drew his breath more deeply
and with much more evidence of free
dom now that my testimony had been
thoroughly sifted and nothing had
come to light duplicating Carmel I
even thought I caught a kindly CLEAN
In his eye as it met mine at this crit
lcal juncture, and by its light l under
stood my man and what he hoped from
me. He wished me, at any risk to him
self, to unite with him in saving Car
mel's good name. That I should ac-
cede to this, that I should respect his
generous wishes and let him go to
unmerited destruction for even so I'M
perative an obligation as we both lay
under, was a question for the morrow.
Several short examinations followed
mine, all telling In their nature, all cal
culated to Ak in the minds Of the jury
the following facts:
First-That Arthur, swayed by Gu
pidity and moved to rage by the scene
at the dinner table, had by some un-
known means Of a more or less violent
character prevailed upon. Adelaide to
accompany Hill 10 tue whispering
Pines in the small cutter to which, in
the absence Of every servant about
the place, he himself had harnessed
the gray mare.
Second.-That in preparation for this

they, still for some unknown reason,
had carried between them a randla
stick and candle, a flask of cordial,
three glasses and a small bottle
marked Poison also some papers,
letters or scraps of correspondence,
among them the compromising line 1
had written to Carmel.
Third.-That while in this building,
at an hour not yet settled, a second
alteration had risen between them
or some attempt been made by the
brother which had alarmed Adelaide
and sent her flying to the telephone
in great agitation with an appeal to
the police for help. This telephone
was In a front room, and the jury was
led to judge that she had gained ac-

six bottles Of spirit up from the cellar.

Of Elias thoughts, If not her glances,
/ sought In the face Of the prisoner a
recognition Of her presence, If not Of
the promise this presence brought him.
His eye had just fallen OF her. 1
was assured of this by the sudden
softening of his expression-the first
real s~oftening l had ever seen in it. 1t
was but a momentary fash, but it was
unmlstakable in its character, as was
his speedy return to his former stolid-
ity.
The opening testimony of the day,
while not vital, was favorable to the
prosecution in that it showed Arthur's
conduct since the murder to have been
inconsistent with perfect innocence.
Many facts were brought forward in
grim array against the prisoner, with
but little opposition from his counsel
and small betrayal of feeling on the
part of Arthur himself. His stolid face
had remained stolid even when the
ring which had fallen out of his sis
ter's casket was shown to the jury and
the connection made between its pres
ence there and the intrusion Of his
hand into the same.
Then came the great event of the
day, in anticipation Of which the court
room had been packed and every heart
within it awakened by slow degrees
to a state Of great nervous expectancy.
The prosecution rested, and the Junior
counsel for the defense opened his
case to the jury.
II I had hoped for any startling dis
closure, calculated to establish his
clients alleged alibi or otherwise to
fires the same from the definite charge
of murder, I had reason to be greatly
disappointed by this maiden effort

not exactly weak there was an unex.
pected vagueness In its statements
which seemed quite out of keeping
with the emphatic declaration which
he made of the prisoners innocence.
Even Arthur was sensible of the bad
effect made by this preliminary adj
dress. More than once during its de-
livery, and notably at its conclusion,
he turned to Mr.. Moffat with a bitter
remark, which was not without effect
on that ~gentleman's cheek and at once
called forth a retort singing enough
to cause Arthur to sink back into his
place with the first sign Of restlessness
1 had observed In him.
'Moffat is sly. Moffat has something
up his sleeve. 1 will wait till he sees
fit to show It," was my thought. Then,

I saw that for some reason both his

not without their own m~isglvings as to
the result of their somewhat doubtful
experiment.

PRESIDENT OF
BANK RESIGNS
IottsHViIls National Head
lenders Resignation.

The resignation Of Gilbert s.
Barnes as president Of the Totem
vile National Bank, which we learn
has been pending since last January,
and previously withheld at the re-
quest Of all Of the local directors,
was received by the board OF direc-
tors at their stated meeting held at
the bank building in Main street,
Tottenville, yesterday afternoon. II
was accepted.
Mr.. Barnes, when seen in regard
to the matter, stated that in connec-
ton with his pressing duties as sec
rotary Of the Richmond County
Building and Mutual Loan Associa-
ton and at the S. S. White Dental
factory in Prince Bay, he felt for
some time past that the responsihili-
ties devolving upon him as president
OF a rapidly growing bank were
making too great demands upon his
time and strength and for that rea-
son desired to give up the office. He
still remains a director in the bank.
No successor to Mr.. Barnes has
been chosen by the directors. The
vice president, A. B. Podderton, Of
Manhattan, in the meanwhile wilr
act as president. II could not be
learned who the successor to Mr..
Barnes would be, but it is believed
that a new president will be named
at the next meeting of the directors.
Mr.. Barnes has been president of the
bank ever since it was organized
several years ago and was one of
those who started the institution
here.
Some discussion of the proposed
new bank to be started here as an
nounced some time ago, took place,
but it is understood now that no new
one will be started.

a CHANGE was observable In
this degenerate son Of the
~. Cumberlands since many there
had confronted him face to
face. Physically he was improved, but
otherwise the difference was such as
to arouse doubt as to the real man
lurking behind his logged, uncommuni-
cative manner. I felt that beyond the
one fact that he could be relied upon
to protect Carmel's name and Carmel's
character, even to the jeopardizing Of
his case, he WAS not to be counted on
and might yet startle many OF US, and
most notably of all the little woman
waiting to hear what he had to say In
his own defense before she threw her
self into the breach and made that de-
voted attempt to save him, in his own
despite, which had been my terror
from the first and was my terror now.
Perjury, but not in his own defense
rather In opposition to it-that is
what his counsel had to fear, and 1
wondered If they knew 1t. He was
asked:
"Mr. Cumberland, did you have any
quarrel with your sister during the
afternoon or evening of Dec. 2"
II did" Then, as If not satisfied
with this simple statement, he blurted
forth: And 1t wasn't the first. She
disapproved Of my fondness for drink.
She didn't like my late hours, or the
condition In which I frequently came
home. 7 did not like her expressions

BELLS FOR CATS TO

5pokane Woman Has Novel
Scheme to Protect Feathered

Spokane, Wash.-Special: Mrs. J.
D. Murphy is advocating a movement
I'm Spokane that all owners Of cats
provide their pets with bells in the
interest Of preserving the birds Of
song, which are now coming back to
their haunts for the summer. Mrs.
Murphy has interested a large num-
Der of club and society women In her
campaign and 1t is likely that Bell
on Cat" society @will be organized to
take charge of the work
The plan is to attach small bell
with a strap or ribbon on the neck Of
every cat in the city and suburbs. the
argument being that IL 1t were made
custom generally there would be
more birds In Spokane. No mention
has been made so far of the tinlsling
at midnight serenades by Thomas"
and his back yard acquaintances. but
1T is no wild guess at this time to say
that some one may organize a crusade
10 not only put the bells out OF COM
mission but also externinate the
wearers. The theory advanced is that
this method would make doubly sure
Of protecting the birds for all time.
