settlement, which they had Bit
terly refused. The fire had settled
it all. The only beneficiary
through the insurance was Mr..
Dayton.
This point his enemies had
used against him, and this, to-
gether with the rather vague evil
dence of night Waterman that
he had seen a cloaked person re-
semblihg the manufacturer in ap-
pearence near the factory at 9
o'clock in the evening, one hour
before the fire was discovered,
had formed the basis of the aecu-
Satiori in court.
Mr.. Dayton had been able to
prove that he had been confined
to the house all that fatal day
with a Slight indisposition. He
had gone up to his room at 8
O'Clock. The jury had only his TN
supported word for this, for no
member of the household was
able to say that he had been seen
again until the ensuing morning. |
The base implication of the
prosecution was that Mr.. Dayton
had slipped out Of the house be-
tween the hours of 8 and 10 in the
evening. They limited that he had
fired the plant and returned to his
room before the flames were dis
covered.
1t was at the darkest moment
in the trial for the anxious father
and daughter when their lawyer
called DR.. Paul Merwin. A seri-

His evidence was plain, simple
and convincing. He was a com
parative stranger in the city
working up a small practice. The
evening of the fire he had been
resting in the garden of the va
cant house adjoining the Dayton
mansion. Dr.. MerWin sWore pos
itively chat he had sat there, the
Dayton house in clear view, from
II o'clock in the evening until
nearly II p. m. During all that
time, he testified, he had been in
full sight of the music room
where Miss Dayton was enter
tanning some guests, and the up
stairs apartment in, a wing Of the
house where her father had been
studiously engaged in going over
Some account books.
, The prosecution was confound-
ed. The lawyers asked few
formal questions. There was no
refutation of the evidence. Rob
ert Dayton was a free man, hon
orably acquitted.

at the side of Mr.. Dayton's attor-
ney as the latter approached his
