earlier In the evening. When he had

The coroner came. AS is frequent
ly the case with coroners. his eyes
saw much of which his brains took
no knowledge. He threw no addf-
uonal light on the case, and sat
down to await the return of the
searching policemen.
The lieutenant renewed his talk
with Harleigh. asking him why he
had not tried to prevent the COM
mission of the crime.
Brumair, excited and worn 20 the
point OF exhaustion, began an ex-
planation:
You must understand that this
is an extraordinary case-extraordi-
nary. l hads hypnotized Mr.. Har-
leigh in my library. My house is

streets, more than a mile from here.
But ] sent Mr.. Harleigh here while
his body remained at my house. That
was how he saw the crime without
being able to prevent it. It was
a triumph for science--a Triumph"
And I remember every detail-all
OF 1t as we'll as l do how the man
looked," added Harleigh.
The lieutenant was at first in
clined to believe We were all drunk.
Next, he thought we were newspaper
men trying to joke him. His opin-
ions were clothed in abusive Ian
guage. and he was ready to believe
anything except our story. which was
the truth. Hamilton was raging.
How do you suppose we knew
about it?' he burst out angrily.
What do you think brought US here
just after he was killed."
The question went unanswered. for

Hes got a pistol-pulled it from

in a voice OF hate. Beads of sweat
stood out on his forehead, which was
white as pure marble. Brumair's
collar was limp with perspiration.
He looked like a wild man.

He jerked something from under

Harleigh spoke In his natural tone
now, only his voice was full of the
eagerness of pursuit. Brumair had

his hands. one on the other, like

murderer had been caught. They had

When they brought him in, 1t was
evident that, in a vague sort of way.

But Hamilton exclaimed in surprised

Brumair turned back the chauf-

But the police knew they had cap-
tured the right man. They found in
his pocket wallet bearing Georges
initials, and in the wallet We're $50.
Besides, his only explanation OF
where he had been was that he
liked to ride in the wind and had
used his employers machine for the
purpose. The mans protestations
of innocence amounted to nothing.
His statements that George had
given him the wallet and that $50
was not too much money for chauf-
feur to carry had no effect. It seemed
weird thing that. though arrested
on Harleigh's description, he could
not have the benefit of the denial
that he was the man.

he was indicted by the grand jury
for murder. The prosecuting attor-
ney laughed at our story quite as
heartily as the police lieutenant had
done. We begged him to postpone
the trial. to give Harleigh a chance
to look for the real criminal. We
argued that the ringing of the tele-
phone in the Nelson house at the
identical moment that Hamilton was
calling from the Brumair house was,
at least, circumstantlal evidence in
our favor. Nothing We could 2 had
significance for the prosecuting mind.
Hamilton cursed him bitterly

PUBLICITY LAW
is SUSTAINED
Highest Court Decides That No Restric-
tons of Newspapers Freedom Is
Involved

Washington. June 1.-THE supreme
court yesterday upheld the newspaper
publicity law enacted as part of the
postal appropriation act of 1912 in the
ease Of the Lewis Publishing Co OF st.
Louis and the New York Journal of
Commerce.
The particular section attacked was
to bar every newspaper and periodical
from the mails unless the editors or
owners filed with the postal authorities
semi-anual sworn statements giving
the names of the editors, owners, stock
holders, and bondholders, and the aver
age daily circulation, and thereafter inn
med lately published the statement.
1t also forbade, under penalty of a
fine, tho publication OF paid-for articles
without marking them advertisement"
Speaking particularly Of the clause re-
quiring the marking of paid for articles
as advertising. Chief Justice White said
from the bench that this requirement
was cognate with the policy of the gov
eminent from its foundation. to make
the expenditures of vast sums. to afford
low mail rates to newspapers bring some
adequate returns 10 the public.

REMOVAL OF WALDO ASKED.
Committee Decides on It's Report by
to Vote.

New York. June 1.-THE question Of
the fitness of Rhnelander Waldo to
continue as police commissioner OF New
York City was passed on to the full
board of aldermen yesterday by the
a.dermanic committee which for nearly
year has been investigating police
conditions.
BY five TO four vote yesterday the
committee adopted its report with the
that Mayor Gaynor be
called upon Immediately to remove
Commissioner Waldo as having "by tenn
permanent and conduct shown himself
unfit to occupy his Office.
By the ordinary rules the report as
il reaches the board of aldermen will be
automatically laid on the table for a
week. II is said the board stands prac-
tically tied at present on the question
II issue, but that those who insist upon
the removal Of the commissioner are so
determined upon the matter that they
have perfected plans for an immediate
appeal to Governor Sulzer in the event
o. the defeat OF the report.
