English Investigator Points Out FaIla-

Scarcely enough justice has been

Charles Goring in his study of the
English criminal, which has just been
issued as blue book. This is even
less an important addition to our
knowledge OF the criminal than. a chal-

DR.. Goring shake the elaborate fabric
built up by Lombroso and those who
have followed In his footsteps.

panion Betsy Barbara, but to this
strange woman. As bruised child
runs to It's mother, she ran to Rosalie
LIE Grange and bowed weary head
upon her shoulder. Resale took her
to the bosom on Wilhelm her own
queer way-she had borne the bur-
dens of thousands for thirty years
long.
"You poor lamb" she exclaimed;
you poor lamb! Now it's going to
be all right, dearie-and you're comm

"And that!" said Rosalie LIE Grange
as she retold this tale to the only per
son who ever enjoyed her full conf
dence, twas the queerest way that
ever saw of solicitin' custom for

so, the thrust came from the front"
of the murderer's hand-a fencer's
blow. And there was no doubt that
Wade was fencer.
The putative defendant, although q
lawyer himself, admitted all these
facts except touching upon his rela-
tions with Mrs. Hanska. He volun-
teered the opinion that such man de-
served killing. On the night Of the
murder, he said, they had quarreled
again. Hanska had refused all pro
posals. Thereupon he had taken that
consignment 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. II there were further proceed
ings. On this point. Constance com
mitted her only indiscretion. 1t was
that very afternoon when the feminine
sympathy writer succeeded in reach
ing her. II know why he did that"
Constance told her, land I'll tell you.
II he won't. He could do me no fur
Their good and he was afraid of what
he might do to Captain Hanska. He
said before he left for New York that
II he failed ! might not see him for
long time"
And so the Coroner's jury found that
John H. Hanska came to his death
from a knife wound at the hand OF
Lawrence Wade or persons unknown.
and recommended that the said Law
renee Wade be held to await action
of the Grand Jury. He went back to
the Tombs under guard.
Here and now, the corporal pres
ence of Lawrence Wade shall fade for
a time from this story. You have, of
course, concluded by this time that he
is innocent. Perhaps you are right;
the unfolding of this tale will tell.
Leave him now in the Tombs, to play
his own native resolution against the
forces of darkness and to gather what
consolation he may from the visits OF
his Lady of Sorrows and OF her little
golden girl-comrade.
