Even when the little woman in gray
took the stand, the case remained
commonplace. She denied everything
fiatly' denied It finally, sincerely. She
looked 30 innocent that her listeners
never doubted her for an instant. and
to every question that was put to her
she gave a direct answer which SEEM

ished her testimony. the husband. who
had been listening to his wife's story
breathlessly, suddenly sprang up. whis-
percd to the plaintiffs lawyer. and
asked to be put upon the stand. His
evidence was confession.
From his pocket he pulled out the
watch. from another the diamond ring.
snd then trinket after trinket was piled
upon the desk, until the plaintiff. who
stood examining them. said that the
only things that were missing were
some little bits of lace and ribbon. He
said he had been hard up. The mill was
working only half time. He had found
the articles lying about when he had
visited his wife. and had slipped them
into his pocket. He was sorry, but 1t
couldn't be helped. and he WAS willing
to pay the penalty. The case seemed
ended. There was nothing else for the
court to do but impose sentence when
suddenly the wife, who had been led
back to the zen where the prisoners are
kept, heard some one say that her hug
band had confessed that Ne had stolen

Newspaper Story Of New
England Court Scene
Its Foundation.

Two men had missed their train con-
nections. and were killing time At the
railway station of little New Eng
land town. There were four hours to
be idled away. Across the street from
the station was the court house. and
from the crowds that piled up the long
stairs In to the court room II looked
as though some important event were
going on.
One of tho men said, Lets 20 over
and investigate"
30 they went across the street. and
Joined the crowd In the court room.
At FIRST glance II seemed a. though
the case that was being tried were an
ordinary case OF larceny. The crowd
had collected because the plaintiff was
the richest woman In the village. She
came to the court In an automobile,
wearing the merriest of merry widow
hats. A few minutes later the defen-
dant was brought into court, and the
moment she appeared. q good looking
fellow about twenty-six or twenty-seven
years old. sunburned, and. seeming to
be hard working man. rushed to her
side.
The prisoner was very, small. quite
pretty, and blonde. but insignificant
looking in every way. The gray dress
she wore. which was somewhat shabby.
only accumulated her quiet appearance,
but there were pink ribbons here and
there on her gown, and she was far
more daintily dressed than any other
woman In the room. Still the one
marked thing about her was the neat
insignihcance. She looked as passive by
nature as she was pallid in coloring.
Plaintiff Tells
Of Her Losses. ..
The case was opened. and continued
more or less conventionally for the
greater part of an hour. The plaintiff
when she took the stand. removed her
merry widow hat and held It firmly on
her knees while she told how the little
gray-gowned woman had betrayed and
deceived her. She had been employed
by the wealthy woman as a dressmak-
er by the day, because she had come
to her and begged for work. and also
because she had found that she was
the best and cheapest dressmaker she
had ever had.
The wealthy woman testified to how
she had told the little seamstress that
she might live in her home altogether
IL she liked. and her husband might
come to see her evenings.
In q week or so she began to misa
| mony. Trinkets and bits of lace and
ribbon. and finally a gold watch and a
