bARTH DID NOT
BRING ANY DOPE
BACK WITH HIM
Orator statesman Tells How It
All Happened and Declares
He Was the Victim Of a
Horrible Mistake,

Never touched mc-l had my foot
on the base ana the FINGERS on both
hands crossed
Such in effect was the statement
yesterday by Senator Isaac Barth
relative to "A weird story recently
sent out from Los Angeles connect
ing the orator Statesman from Ber-
nallllo county with an opium SNUG
Cling transaction under Investigation
IN the California city Mr.. Barth did
not look the least bit guilty as he
spoke, There was nothing OF the
appearance about him which is com
monty attributed 10 criminals under
going the third degree. He seemed to
be- in his usual good health, and
when weighed on the has scales at a
local produce house IL wits found that
he had lost no flesh during his abb
sence on the Pacific coast. Also, he
asserted most positively and with
what appeared to bc the utmost can
dor that he did not bring back with
him any opium, morphine, cocaine,
alpha or beta eucaine. heOrin or
other substance prohibited by the
anti-n0rcOtlc law.
Story of the Case.
Mr. Barth talked freely and in a
most interesting manner of his con-
nectiOn with the now famous dope
smuggling case. Far from having
acted in any improper or reprehens-
bic manner, his position from the
beginning was that Of a citizen en-
dcavoring 10 assist in the enforce
ment Of the law. ana the hectic mag
nation Of an over-zealous and UNI
duly yellow" newspaper man was
alone responsible for the false inn
preston that was created concerning
him
Boiled down, Mr.. Burths story was
as follows
Several months ago the Albuquer-
que lawyer went 10 Los Angeles in
the Interest Of couple named Eau
ser who were under arrest there
with smuggling opium into
the United states from Mexico. Mrs.
Fausers mother lives In Albuquer-
que, and il was AT the instance Of
the latter, who is Mr.. Barth's client
that Mr. Barth made the trip for the
purpose Of arranging bond for the
Fauscrs, who were represented also
by a lawyer named Shepard.
Upon his arrival IN Los Angeles
Mr.. Barth learned that there had
been no smuggling of opium 10y the
Fausers but that the couple did have
possession of a large quantity Of the
drug which was seereted near MeXi-
cali, a small town Just over the Dor
der In Mexico, aud he went In com
panv with shepard to Mexcali, where
the opium was hidden in the sand.
he later returned to Albuquerque,
leaving the matter of arranging bono
for the Fausers IN Shepard's hands
Subsequent correspondence between
Mr. Barth and shepard convinced the
Albuquerque man That Shepard him
self, after Mr. Ratihs return 10 this
city. had smuggled the opium across
the border and had sold It.

As soon as he learned of this. Mr.
Barth again made trip to Los An

his clients ana obtaining their per
mission 10 divulge the matters that
had come to his knowledge through
his professional relations with them
he Immediately communicated with
the United States district attorney
and laid before that official all the
information that had come into his

ln'the meantime Shepard had been
arrested on the charge of smuggling
and it was on the trial of this charge
that Senator Barth appeared in the
role OF q witness for the government.

testimony on cross examination,
Shcpard's lawyer not only attempted

had been promised "immunity' from

OF much good natured raillcry by his
many friends since his return to the
city and on every side he Is beset
with questions us to where he pro-
poses to set up his Joint whether
he has laid in supply of pipes for
his prospective customers, and SINH

that he regards the story as one OF

| who would demand SO much of her
there was nothing in her manner now
to indicate that such had been the
case She approached him without q
symptom of nervousness or irresolu
ton. Her dark eyes met his without
wavering and there was purpose in
them.
She devoted a single glance of sur
prise to the uncurtained window on en-.
tering the door and an instant later
scrutinized the floor with unmistakable
interest as if expecting to find some
thing there to account for his motive
in admitting the glare of light-some-
thing to confound and accuse her. But
there was no fear or apprehensiveness
in the look. She was not afraid.
Brood remained standing, little be-
yond the broad ray of light, expecting
her to advance into its full, revealing
glare. She stopped, however, in the
shadow opposite. 1t was he who moved
forward into the light, and there was
deep searching look in his eyes. In an
instant it was gone; he had satisfied
himself The curious experience of the
morning had been a phantasm, an IL
fusion, mockery. There was moth
ing in this woman's smoldering eyes
to suggest the soft. luminous Howell
ness Of Matilde's. He drew a long,
deep breath of relief.
She had put on rather plain white
blouse, open at the neck. The cuffs
were rolled up nearly to the elbows,
evidence that she had been using her
hands in some active employment and
had either forgotten or neglected to re-
store the sleeves to their proper posi-

away. Near the door he stopped stock
still and listened intently.

He hesitated a moment and then
jerked the curtains together, shutting
out the pitiless glare.
"Will you be seated-there?" he
said quietly, pointing to a chair at the
end of the table.

He looked at her f1xedly for mo-
ment, as if striving to materialize a
thought that lay somewhere in the
back of his mind. He was vaguely
conscious Of an impression that he
could unravel all this seeming mystery
without suggestion from her if given
the time to concentrate his mind on
the vague, hazy suggestion that tor
mented his memory.
He sat down opposite her, and rest
ed his AIMS on the table. The lines
about his mouth were rigid, uncompro-
missing, but there was look of wonder
in his eyes.
She leaned forward in her chair, the |
better to watch the changing express |
sion in his eyes as she progressed with |
her story. Her hands we're clenched |
tightly under the tables edge.

that time he had barred his,soul to the
Sinking Buddha and, receiving no
consolation from the SNUG image, had
violently cursed the thing Since then
he had waited-he had waited for
many things to happen. He knew all
that took place below stairs. He knew
when Lydia came and he denied him.
self to her. The coming of the police,
the nurses and the anestheticiap, and
later on, Mrs. John Desmond and the
reporters-all this he had known, for
he had listened at q crack in the open
door. And. he had heard his wife's
calm, authoritative voice in the hall be-
low, giving directions. Now for the
first time he looked about him and felt
himself attended by ghosts. In that
instant he came to hate this once}oved
room, this cherished retreat, and all
that 1t contained. He would never set
his foot inside Of its fourawalfs again.
1t was filed with ghosts! f
On the corner of the table lay
great heap Of manuscript-the story Of
his life up to the escape from Lhasa!
The sheets OF paper had been scat
tered over the noor by the ruthless
hand of the surgeon, but now they
we're back in perfect order, replaced
by another hand. He thought Of the

swiftly to the table. In another Ia
slant the work of many months would
have been torn to bits OF waste paper
But his hand was stayed. Someone
had stopped outside his door. He could
not hear sound and yet he knew that
a hand was on the heavy latch. He sud
denly recalled his remark to the old
men. He would have. to write the final
chapter after all.
He waited. He knew that she was
out there, collecting all Of her strength
for the coming interview. She was
certifying herself against the crisis
that was SO near at hand. To his own
surprise and distress of mind, he found
himself trembling and suddenly de-
prived of the fierce energy that he had
stored up for the encounter. He won
dered whether he would command the
situation after all, Notwithstanding his
righteous charge against her. she had
wantonly sought to entice Frederic
she had planned to dishonor her nus
band-she had proved herself unwhole-
some and false and her heart was evil!
And yet he wondered whether he
would be able to stand his ground
against her.
So far she had ruled. At the outset
he had attempted to assert his au-
thority as the master of the house In
this trying, heart-breaking hour, and
she had calmly waved him aside. His

and he had crept away to hide! He re-
her words later Cd when
Holder sent for him to come down.
Not in fear" she had said.
On the edge of the table, where it
had reposed since Doctor Holder
dropped it there, was the small photo
graph of Matilde. He had not touched
It, but he had bent over it for many
minutes at time, studying the sweet,
never-to-be-forgotten and yet curiously
unfamiliar features of that long-ago
owed one. He looked at it now as he
waited for the door to open, and his
thoughts leaped back to the last
glimpse he had ever had OF that ador-
able face. Then it was white with de-
'pair and misery-here it looked up at
him with smiling eyes and the languor
