hope that they will agree upon the vital

should murder her husband any more
than why she should have lied about
the theft of the jewels. -
If Madame Steinheil had kept
silent in the future the mystery
might have been forgotten by the

murder, she accused young man
named Birmingham of the murder,
She was so positive in her accusation
that the police took Birmingham into

of the men she saw in her room. Bur-

that he was in city many miles
