The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-06-01

plode your bomb he says but I've made up my mind" Well, I've made up my mind so we start even Brewster answers. Clinton admits Brewster is'a great constitutional law yer, but he thinks criminal law is not in his line.
 Brewster-well. T don't think it's constitutional to take a mans mind away from him and substitute your own, Captain Clinton.
 Captain Clinton-What do you mean?
 Brewster-I mean that instead of bringing out of this man his own true thoughts of innocence-you have fore false thoughts of his guilt.
 Brewster submits his views of the case, points out to Clinton the means he has taken of poisoning the public mind against young Jeffries through the publicity the affair has been given in the press and shows how Annie has been placed under the ban of suspi- cion. Well. observes Captain Clin- ton, It's up to you to prove I'm wrong"
 This the lawyer proceeds to do.
 He takes a bundle of papers from the table, and going through the case cites whore false confessions have been obtained from parties under arr rest who have been submitted to the third degree. As this evidence is pro- duced, Clinton cringes a little and ad- mits that mistakes will sometimes happen, and when Brewster asks him if he showed young Jeffries a pistol while trying to gain his confession he hesitates a moment.
 Captain Clinton-Yes, I think did didn't I Maloney?
 Brewster-Your word is sufficient Captain, did you hold it up?
 Captain Clinton-Yes, think did.
 Brewster then goes on to show how after seven hours cross-questioning, young Jefries' mind was in so dazed a condition that when the shining barrel of the revolver was shown him everything extracted from him were not his own, but the ideas that were ipstiiled into his brain from the mind of Captain Clinton. pr. Bernstein afffrms Brewster's opinions. ''The visual captivation of Howard Jeffries' attention makes the whole case com plete and clear to the physician" con- tinues the lawyer. Visual captivation is good'' laughs Clinton. What dc you think of it Maloney'' he asks turning to his worthy constituent. Ma loney thinks it fine, but it isn't SC funny when Brewster informs the Captain that the crime of hypnotic suggestion is greater one against so. 'ciety than, any the State punishes ol pays him to prevent.
 Clinton has heard quite enough: he didn't come there to hear those things. Where is the woman they were going to produce? Annie. who has been waiting below, is sent for Clinton and Maloney hold a private conversation and the latter is told to wait outside. Dr. Bernstein takes his leave, and MT. Jeffries, ST., who has been watching the proceedings very quietly arises, to thank Brewster. By this time Annie has entered. She is alone, and when questioned as to the woman she was to produce she hesi, tates, while Clinton gives a grunt o1 satisfaction. Annie asks Mir. Brews- ter if she may see him alone, but both he. and Jeffries beg her to tel them who the woman is, saying she will be there herself and can tell them. Clinton observes if she ap. pears on the scene she will be ar. rested before she leaves the house as she Is wanted as a witness, but he doesn't think they need worry about her showing up. .rI told you it would be flash in the pan." Jeffries re- marks, and even Brewster begins le doubt. Are you sure" he asks? and she is sure. Captain Clinton seeing there is nothing exciting developing leaves saying he will wait downstairs Jeffries observes that her story is probably a fabrication trumped up foi the purpose and reminds Brewster that he warned him what to expect from people of her class. Then com. blaming of a frightful headache he takes his departure.
 Brewster-(Turning to Annie)-Dc you want me to lose all faith in you
 Annie-No, MT. Brewster
 Brewster-The, tell me why you conceal this womans name? Gro Be Continued.)
