THE CASE OF OSCAR. SLATER"

tainly deserves some scrutiny. Accord
ing to the evidence of his mistress and
of the servant, Slater had received two
letters on the morning of December q.
Neither of these was produced at the
trial. one was said to be from a Mr..
Rogers, a friend of Slaters in London,
telling him that Slater's wife was both
ering him for money. The second was
said to be from one Devote, a former
partner of Slaters. asking him to join
him in San Francisco.
Even if the letters had been destroyed,
one would imagine that these statements
to the letters could be disproved or
1rroborated by either the crown or the
.lfense. They are of considerable i'm
3ortance. as giving the alleged reasons
why Slater hurried up a departure which
had been previously announced as for
January. | can not find, however. that
in the actual trial anything definite was
ascertained upon the matter.
Another point had already been scored
against the prosecution in that the seven
trunks. which contained the whole effects
of the prisoner, yielded nothing of real
Importance. There were a felt hat and
two cloth ones, but none which CORE
sponded with the Donegal of the original
description 4 light coored waterproof
coat was among the outfit
If the weapon with which the deed was
done was carried off in the pocket of the
assassin's overcoat-and it is difficult to
say how else he could have carried it
then the pocket must. one would suppose,
be crusted with blood since the crime was
a most sanguinary one. No such marks
were discovered, nor were the police for
tunate as to the weapon 1t is true that
a hammer was found in the trunk but
it was clearly shown to have been pur-
chased in one of those cheap half-crown
sets of tools which are tied upon card,
was an extremely light and fragile in
strument. and utterly incapable in the
eyes of common sense of inficting those
terrific injuries which had shattered the
old ladys skull
1t was said by the prosecution to bear
some marks of having been scraped or
cleaned, but this was vigorously denied
by the defense, and the police do not
appear to have pushed the matter to the
obvious test of removing the metal work,
when they must, had this been indeed
the weapon, have certainly found some
soakage of blood into the wood under the
edges of the iron cheeks or head.
But a glance at this puny weapon
would convince an impartial person that
any task beyond fixing a tin tack or
cracking a small bit of coal would be
above it's strength. 1t may fairly be said
that before the trial had begun the three
important points of the pawned jewel,
the supposed flight and the evidence, from
clothing and weapon had each either
broken down completely or become ex-
Ceediugly attenuatcd.
Let us see now what there was upon
the other side. The evidence for the pros
ecution really resolved itself into two sets
Of witnesses for Identification The first
set were those who had actually seen
the murderer, and included Adams Helen
Lambe and the girl BarrOwman.
