There was one young man on the
jury, however, Elmer Whitcomb,
from a distant town, who from the
first had settled in his own mind that
Winston was victim of circumstan-
tial evidence. Perhaps his sympathy
for the pure-faced, gentle-sOuled wife
Influenced him. Perhaps a constant
sight of the distressed sister of Win
ston, always in' tears, always by the
side of her imperiled brother, moved
the pity of Elmer Whitcomb more
than he knew. Her lovely eyes,
mournful, beseeching, stirred his
soul. It seemed as if her presence
brought a new and hitherto unknown
element into his life, which had been
a lonely, loVeless one, working the
home farm Of his aged parents out
of debt.
And then there was another vast
influence that moved this man to the
depths when that name, Arthur
Vaille, was mentioned. A queer, con-
fusing thought haunted his brain. He
had heard it before-where? When?
Finally, though dimly, it seemed to
him that during visit to the city
several weeks ago, some friend had
spoken that name, had mentioned
that he had received a letter from
him. Which one of perhaps half
dozen city acquaintances it was,
WhitcOmb could not decide. Perhaps
it was vagary of his mind. Had not
the defense advertised far and wide
for this missing witness? Still!a GER
tain sense of deep responsibility in the
premises oppressed Whitcomb.
'The jury is dismissed until morn
ing, when will deliver instructions, "
spoke the somber judge as the prose-
cutting attorney concluded his argu-
ment.
The courtroom was dim and shad-
owy, for dusk, had come on. AS they
fled out of the doorway Whitcomb
felt his hand caught in warm, quiv-

bond between them, and his duty

fore him
The jury were taken to their hotel
After supper, in charge of court
deputy, they began the usual evening

dusk. AS they passed down an unE4
lighted street Elmer Whitcomb carl
ried out a plan he had formed in his
mind. He struggled behind, slippe6
down a dark alley and, unObserved,
disappeared. ii
There was a great commotion in
Fairfield the next day. Such thing
as a deserving juTyman had never
been heard of before.
"An outrage on the majesty of the
laww pronounced the indignant
prosecuting attorney.
when Whitcomb comes up for
contempt of court it won't seem so
funny to him, maybe" added the
sheriff.
They searched for Whitcomb, but
did not find him. Verona WintOn re-
ceived a note, brief, unsigned, but she
guessed who had sent it and kissed
the single word it contained: 'Hopep
Of course a verdict could not be

Five weeks later, just as the new
Jury had convened, Elmer Whitcomb
walked quietly into the courtroom
and approached the bar of justice.

There was bewilderment, excite

the door.

HARRY STEINFELDT IS DEAD.
Former Great Third Bnseman of
Cubs Passes Away in Kentucky.

CiNcGNNATf Aug Hilary Steinfeldt,
former star third baseman of the Cincin-
natl and Chicago National League clubs.
died to-day at the home OF his brother
in-law, f. f. Lockwood, In Bellevue, KY.
lie had been III about five months.
Steinfeldt was the first of the great
Cub champions to pass out and was one
of the best members of that mighty team.
Steiny went from the Texas League to
Detroit, then from Detroit to Cincinnati
and finally was traded to the Cubs under
Frank Chance when Charles W. Murphy
got the club with the Cubs he became
a fixture and star OF the first degree.
He guarded third base superbly his strong
right arm having a whip lash throw that
few base runners could beat, while his
long extra base smashcs drove in hosts
Of runs.
During the years OF the Cubs glory
Stenfeldt was a powerful factor and con
tributed his full share to the four pen
nants and two worlds series triurnphS
they won. Two or three attacks of Illness
slowed up Steinfedt little and ther
began ihe warring cliques that eventually
disrupted the Cubs, Steinfeldt ultimately
being traded to the Boston Nationals. Ht
had played only few games at Bostor
when forced out by typhoid fever. Which
weakened him to such an extent that h
refused again even to attempt the strenu
Gus duties of big league ball playing.

Doc Cook tried desperately for
shoestring catch of Kid Fosters

and rolled on foul territory behind

run for the fly, so there was no one
to intercept the ball Cook chased
It himself. In the meantime Foster
