LEGALLY
 DEAD
By JOHN I. LARNED

once asked my friend Jenkins, a criminal lawyer, if there were not pe' cullar secrets locked up in the breast of a man of his profession, where upon he told me the following story:
 If l hadn't been a criminal lawyer think should have been detective. Criminals never interested me especial ly, and l never had much sympathy with them. But here and there comes up a person about whom circumstances reveal what is hard to break through. You have heard the fable of the lion in the net released by the gnawing of a mouse Well, in such cases It is fascinating to be the mouse.
 "NOt that I'm going to tell you story about getting off a person ac- cuscd of crime by one of those ingen, ious methods We read of in detective stories I'm going to give you case where a man whom l believed to be guilty was condemned for murder, and I discovered that he was innocent too shortly before his death day to war. rant my reopcning the case in a legal way.
 "A murder Was committed. The murderer not only fed, but left articles by which he was known. He made good his flight and was not heard from in three years: then he or man who was his double deliberately walked into the town where the murder had been committed Being met on the street by one of those who had been long looking for him, be was greeted with the words:
 "'For heavens sake, Collins, what did you come back here forT
 "C0IliDs That's not my name?
 "No reply was made to this A pair of hundcufTs was slipped Ou the stran. gers wrists, and lie was lodged in jail
 "l was the man who drew up the case against Nathan Collins for the state.
 "The accused was an Englishman and claimed that his name was Lang don. He admitted that he had been wild and had been disOwned by his family. But when his attorney asked him to call upon his family for idcnti fcation he said that he would take his chances of proving it without their as. sIstance, adding that he had been away from them so long that he doubt, ed if they would all swear that he was their kinSman.
 "I had no difficulty in securing his conviction, and he was as much sur prised at it as 1 would have been had he been acquitted. I was somewhat staggered at his first remark after his conviction. It was:
 "'Well, here's a pretty kettle of fish! "That didn't sound like a guilty man. It seemed to me rather the remark ot one who had got into bad scrape and had begun to realize his position.
 .It seems singular to me looking back at the case, that no further ef- fort was made to prove that he was what he claimed to be. He said that if would be useless to apply to his fam ily. for they would expect anything of him, even murder. Another reason was that he had a cousin who would be heir to his fathers estate at his fathers death were it not for the black sheep of the family. At any raaA nothing was done to save him
