CHAPTER n.
The Yelled Woman.

The intensity of the question. the
compelling, self-forgetful passion of
the man, had a startling effect upon
the crowd of people huddled before
him. With one accord. and without
stopping to pick their way, they made
for the open doorway, knocking the
smaller pieces of furniture about and
creating havoc generally. Some fed
the house; others stopped to peer in
again from behind the folds of the
curtain which had been only partially
torn from It's fastenings. Miss Weeks
was the only one to stand her ground.
When the room was quite cleared
and the noise abated cit was fright
full experience to see how little the
judge had been affected by all this
hubbub of combined movement and
sound) she stepped within the line of
his vision and lifted her feeble and
Intellectual hand in an effort to attract
his attention to herself.
But he did not notice her, any more
than he had noticed the others. Still
looking in the one direction, he cried
aloud in troubled tones:
"She stood there! the woman stood
there and saw her! Where is she
now?"
she is no longer in the house."
came in gentle reply from the only one
in or out Of the room courageous
enough to speak. "She went out when
she saw US coming. We knew that she
had no right to be here. That is why
we intruded ourselves. sir. We did
not like the looks Of her, and SO fol.
lowed her in to prevent mischief"
How dared you! How dared shei"
Then as his mind regained Its full |
poise, "And how. even IL you had the !
temerity to venture an entrance here.
did you manage to pass my gates?
They are never open. Bella sees to
that"
AS she watched she saw his eyes,
fixed up to now upon her face, leave It
and pass furtiyely and with many hest
tations from object to object. toward
that spot behind him where lay the
source of her great terror till finally,
with fatal precision. they reached the
point where the screen had stood. and
not finding 1t, few in open terror to

oozing blood, on the floor beneath,

no dream. but this was surely one. or
his eyes, used to inner visions, were
playing him false.
Grasping the table at his side to
steady his falling limbs. he pulled him.
self along by its curving edge till he
came almost abreast of the helpless
figure which for so many years had
been the embodiment of faithful and
service.
Then and then only did the truth of
his great misfortune burst upon his
bewildered soul; and with cry which
tore the ears of all hearers and was
never forgotten by anyone there. he
flung himself down beside the dead
negro, and, turning him hastily over
gazed in his face.
And where was l. when all this
happenedT he demanded in a voice
made low by awe and dread of its own
sound.

Lemberg, Galicia, via Petrograd and
London.--It is reported here that
pestilence is spreading in the city and
among the garrison of Przemysl, which
is now almost without provisions.
Intellectual sorties still continue from
Przemysl. but they are less vigorously
pushed. This Is due. it is thought to
the garrison's knowledge of the failure
of the Austrian relief forces to break
through the Russian lines.

CLERGYMAN'S BRIDE
HAD BEEN DIVORCED
Doctor Freemantle's Congrega-
tion Learns Fact After His
Marriage.

There was renewed agitation among
the members of st. Luke's Reformed
Episcopal Church when It was learned
today that the wife Of the Rev DR..
William A. Freemantle. rector of the
church, whom he married last week,
was divorcee.
John Il. Gossling, a member of the ves-
try said that meeting of the vestry had
followed the receipt of a letter by them
from Doctor F'reemantle, and It is be-
lieved that he has resigned in order TO
forestal unpleasantness between him and
his congregation when that fact became
known.
The announcement OF Doctor Free
mantle's marriage to Mrs. Herman s.
Hoffman, widow of Bishop Hoffman, OF
the New York and Philadelphia Synod,
caused considerable dissatisfaction, but
the news that Mrs. Freemantle had been
previously married to a man named Gold
smith, from whom she was divorced,
caused CONSERVATION.
The fact that she was divorced from
Goldsmith was learned by examination
of the Bishops application for mar
riage license. DIR. Freemantle himself
was divorced from Ruth Hanna Free
mantle in England last January, follow
ing proceedings which were begun in
August, 1913.
When Bishop Hoffman died he left S75.-
VO in trust for life and Doctor Freeman
tie was named as executor. Members of
the vestry are somewhat reticent con-
cerning the subject, but 1t was learned
that they would have an important meet
ing tonight and more interesting devel-
opments are promised at the church, Penn
and Orthodox streets, on Sunday
Doctor Freemantle and his bride are
now in Maine on their honeymoon. Doctor
Freemantle is editor of the Episcopal
Recorder and dean OF the Bible Training
School and professor OF apolgetics at
Temple University He is widely known
as n Biblical scholar and has taught
classes at the General Y. M. c. A..
Before leaving the city Doctor Free
mantle arranged to have the Rev. DR..

Thaw's attorneys Immediately objected
saying he had answered the question.
"He answered It very Seriously and
we'll" interposed Justice Hendrick.
When Thaw had reached the point in
his story to where he got in front of
White he paused for fully half minute
before he uttered the words shot him.
And 1t was another half-minute before he
raised his head toward Cook and asked
rs that alp

added, after Justice Hendricks state
ment, 'tnht DeIOfe SnOI Wnlle saw
him move his hand toward his back
pocket. Everything was confusion after
the shot"
Throughout his story Thaw talked
evenly and at times slowly. Often he
gazed upward as though trying to visual
lie tho happening which he was relating.
AS Thaw told his story Cooks eyes
never left his face He neither prompted
nor suggested, but waited patiently for
Thaw to tell his story in his own way.
Thaw appeared slightly worn and tired.
He answered questions in a cool, COM
posed manner. however.
"Do you believe you were insane when
you murdered White?" was one of Cooks
questions.
John B. Stanchheld, Thaws attorney.
objected TO the question and was sus-
tanned
Thaw told of carrying a gun all day
before he killed White. He said he did
so because he feared an attempt on his
life by an East Side gang led by Monk
Eastman. lie denied that he believed
Stanford White had employed the gang.

MTNNEHAHA, WITH FIRE
EXTTNGUTSHED, IN PORT
Vessel Arrives at Halifax
Shortly Before II O'Clock.
No Person Allowed on Board.

HALIFAX. N. s., July 9.-The munition-
laden steamship MlnnehahR, with the fire
In her hold extinguished, arrived at quar-
antine here shortly before II o'clock to-
day. The vessel was not allowed to dock
and no one from the shore was permitted
to go on board.
Captain Claret would make no state
ment before noon.
The outcome of the drastic investigation
into the cause of the fire in the hold of
the Minnnehaha, which was promised by
the naval authorities previous to the
liners arrival in port, Is being anxlously
awaited, as It is expected to disclose
whether the explosion Of a time bomb or
the explosion of ammunition was respon-
sible If caused by bomb the belief will
be confirmed that Frank Holt, the dyna-
mlter and assailant OF j. Pierpont Nor
gan, was responsible.
NEW YORK. July "a search is be-
ing made for a man who drove Frank
Holt, the dynamiter, on three occasions
to the Syosset freight station for explo-
sives and on another occasion was seen
with him on a train. The police say this
chauffeur is a man of heavy build with
sandy hair and norid complexion. and
that he is believed to have an intimate
knowledge of the motives inspiring Holt
In his crimes and of the persons who sup
piled Holt with sufficient money to carry
out his plans. They are handicapped by
having neither the number of his automo-
bile nor any clues as to the locality in
which he lives.
Several officials at police headquarters
are stlll going through mass of cor
respondence and notes found In Holt's
rooms at Ithaca, N. Y, in the hope of
discovering something concerning the
dead mans early history.
