There was the motive, perfect, com
prehensible. Wade and Hanska had
met twice before and quarreled both
times. On the night o. the tragedy,
Lawrence Wade, carrying handbag,
had gone to Captain Hanska's room
at about ten o'clock. The bag con-
tanned, among other things, two
knives.
Lawrence Wade admitted this; and
admitted also that he had left all the
debris which Uttered Captain Han
ska's table. THAT was part of my
Grand" he said. He had gone from
Mrs. Moore's to the Curfew club, had
found from the desk clerk that there
was one o'clock train to Boston, had
telephoned for a berth, had taken the
train, had been arrested in Boston
while engaging passage for Liverpool.

And there was no doubt that Wade
was a fencer. At this point in the
proceedings Rosalie lie Grange, sit

significant comment on this-the
putative defendant. although a lawyer
himself, admitted all these facts ex~
cept touching upon his relations with
Mrs. Hanska. He admitted his feel
ing against Hanska. He VOLUNTEERED
the opinion that such a man deserved
killing. on the night Of the murder,
he said, they had quarreled again.
Thereupon he had taken that con-
signment of small possessions out Of
the bag, and had departed. on one
point alone was he vague He did
not tell fully why he had started SO
suddenly for Europe. Il was afraid
to stay" he said once. His attorneys
intimated that he would explain this
also, if there were further proceed
