when, all at once, a clerk approached
her, and addressing her more politely
than usual. said that the judge would
see her in few minutes.
Her heart gave a great throb. AL
most speechless from surprise. she
stammered a faint thanks and braced
herself for the interview on which so
much depended: Fo. the first time
since the terrible affair had happened.
there was a faint glimmer of hope
ahead. II only she could rush over
to the Tombs and tell Howard the
joyful news so he might keep up cour-
age! 1t was eight days now since
Towards arrest, and the trial would
take place In six weeks. There was
still time to prepare a strong defense
If the Judge would only consent to
take the case. She was more sure
than ever that clever lawyer would
have no difficulty in convincing jury
that Towards alleged confession"
was untrue and improperly obtained.
In the intervals of waiting to see
the lawyer, she had consulted every
one she knew, and among others she
had talked with DR.. Bernstein, the
noted psychologist, whom she had
seen once at Yale. He received her
kindly and listened attentiveiy to her
story. When she had finished he had
evinced the greatest interest. He
told her that he happened to be the
physician called in on the night Of the
tragedy, and at that time he had
grave doubts as to it being a case of
murder. He believed it was suicide,
and he had told Capt Clinton so, but
the police captain had made up his
mind, and that was the end of it.
Towards Confession" he went on,
really meant nothing. If called to the
stand he could show the jury that a
hypnotic subject can be made to
confess" to anything. In the inter
est of truth, justice, and science, he
said, he would gladly come to her
aid.
All this she would tell Judge Brew
ster 1t would be of great help to
him, no doubt. Suddenly, cold
SILVER ran through her. How did she
know he would take the case? Per
haps this summons to his office was
only to tell her once more that he
would have nothing to do with her
and her husband. She wondered why
he had decided so suddenly to see
her and, like a flash, an idea came to
her. She had seen Mr.. Jeffries, ST.,
enter the inner sanctum and. in
stinctively. she felt that she had
something to do with his visit. The
