James and Lucy Anderson were cousins. Their uncle. Peter Anderson. was very rich, and when be died will was produced leaving all his property to James and Lucy jointly. This was no surprise. for 1t was well known that the testator, who had no children. had approved a plan of union between his favorite nephew and niece and that they should inherit his property. They were lovers, were engaged and soon to be married.
 There was great surprise, therefore, when q half brother of the deceased named Torrance pronounced the will forgery. This would give the property to the heirs ut law, and Torrance would receive a third. or about $20O,OOO. But a still greater surprise was sprung when Torrance accused James Ander- son of the forgery. Unfortunately. both witnesses to this will were dead.
 Torrance had divorced his wife. who had married another man named Baker. Baker had trouble with the wO- man and to get rid of her had gone to parts unknown. It was supposed that the origin of the accusation was in Mrs Torrance Baker, who had known Mr. Anderson, the testator. and SwOre that the signature to the will WIS not his.
 When James Anderson received Q visit from her attorney, Edward Mark ham, James asked whether. should an accused person confess the crime Of which he was accused. his counsel would still be bound to defend him. The lawyer replied that a defense un- der the circumstances would be per. fectly legitimate. Thus informed, James confessed that he had forged his uncle's will Markham was greatly surprised. for young Anderson had a singularly honest countenance. Indeed, notwith- standing the confession, Markham did not believe that his client was guilty.
 Markham took great interest in the case. for not only a fortune for a pair of young lovers, but young Anderson's acquittal of a heinOus crime. were at stake. There was the usual examina- ton of experts in chirography and the usual differences of opinion on the part Of these gentlemen. Half of them pro
