SHAW WAS
ACQUITTED

Shortly after noon yesterday the
jury in the indictment against Charles
Shaw, charged with atrocious assault,
and battery, retired. )
The defense soon concluded the case
part of the story being told in the
Pioneer yesterday.
Elmer Bathwick, a machinist at
Whitail-Tatem's testified to seeing
Shaw cut the piece of lead pipe in the
shop where they both were employed
and that Shaw told. him he was going
to repair his bath tub.
Miss Flossie Shaw, daughter of the
defendant, testified that when her
father came home Christmas eve, he
had blood : on his nose and it was
bruised and black.
Shaw had testified that Gale had hit
him on the nose ON that evening.
Wesley Howell said he was walking
up Oak street with Charles Shaw, and
at Sd and Oak Streets, he said, Gale
was leaning on fence, and came up
and said to Shaw, Charlie 1 want to
see you. I want you to keep away
from that woman's house-You've got
one woman in the Asylum and you
want to get another there" and Shaw
said, That's none of YOUR business"
and then Gale grabbed Shaw and hit
him a blow in the face, knocking him
back. Then Shaw drew the lead pipe
and hit Gale on the head with it.
Then Officer Wright came across the
street and arrested the men. Both
sides rested with this witness.
The jury was out but a very few
moments when a verdict of acquittal
was reached and so returned to the
Court.

ieaped through his mind when what
had looked an instant before like a
rocky and inhospitable mountainside
resolved itself into grass-coyered
mesa on which the machine landed as
lightly as bird.

they stood apparently ended. a few
hundred feet away, against a sheer

an abandoned mine, and near by stood
rudely built and dilapidated cabin.
The cabin. he now saw was built
on narrow shelf OF rock: behind II
rose the sheer cliff before 1t was an
abyss. 1t stood, indeed. on a veritable
island In the air, and the only way to
reach that island was by means of a
wire cable which was stretched across
the chasm. From this cable, red with
rust, but apparently still strong. hung
sort OF basket, roughly constructed,
by means of which one could ferry
himself across the river Of space.

terfeiters, eh? The police wouldn't

Morton had started toward the ma
chine but, at Smiths remark, he
turned and walked back to the edge
OF the chasm, where he stood staring
at the cabin on the edge, apparently
lost In thought.

NINTH lNSTALLMENT

bank. and several smaller buildings.
but few casualties and no fatalities
resulted. Within an hour Hope, Cleo,
and Doctor Gwen, their clothing still
showing traces Of dust and falling
plaster, were seated about table In
the iatter's study. porting over the book
which Cleo had snatched from Olga
during the panic In the restaurant.
"There's nothing in this one, either"
said Hope disgustedly. as he turned the
last leaf and slammed the cover.
''That leaves six more books to look
for. Things are narrowing down, In
any event"
"Where do we 60 now. Jarvis1"
asked Cleo.

by acroplane," Morton exclaimed
trumphantly.
On an afternoon early in the fol-
lowing week. Cleo, as had become her
custom, was strolllng along a quiet
lane in the outskirts of Santa Eulalia.
Today she was alone, however, for
Hope had been called to Los Angeles
on business. SO completely absorbed
In her thoughts was Cleo that she paid
no attention to the large closed car,
with drawn curtains, which rolled ST.
lently up behind her. Just as 1t came
opposite her the door swung open, a
man leaped out, blanket was thrown
over her head, muffling her screams,
and she was dragged into the car, the
whole performance being enacted in
far less time than II takes to tell 1t.
She struggled desperately to free her
self from the enveloping folds, but I'M
seen hands pinned her against the
cushions while someone held sponge,
saturated with something that smelled
sweet and sickly, over her nose and
mouth.
When Cleo recovered consciousness
she found herself in small and I'M
kept room. Its walls, which were Of
unpaneled boards, were covered with
pictures cut from the illustrated pa
pers; its furniture consisted Of a
small iron stove, much the worse for
rust, an oilclothcovered table, chair,
and the foul-smelling bunk on which
she lay. In the chair with his back
TO her a man was sitting. She must
have made some sound for the man
turned. It was Gerald Morton

ton, seating himself on the edge of the
bed and attempting to draw her to
him.
For an instant she gazed at him in
mingled disbelief and anger, then
sprang to her feet. The next instant
she was in his arms.
And you're going to marry me, too,
my beauty" he repeated, his breath
hot upon her cheek, and he bent for
ward to kiss her, but, with sudden
movement, she wrenched herself free.

ously. Marry you, you eur, you cad ?

get the message to the boys below,
for, should she let II fiutter down, 1t
would, In all probability, be carried
away by gust OF wind. and, n she
tied IL to n stone, II might plunge
into the river and be lost. All at once
there came to her the recollection Of
an amusement of her childhood. With
her handkerchief and piece OF string
she made miniature parachute, such
as children use; weighted IL with a
small stone, and tied to the stone the
message. Returning to the cliff she
first held up the parachute for the
boys TO see. then tossed ii out into
space. Almost instantly the handker-
chief beloved out, thus checking its
descent, and IL sailed gently down
ward into the boys outstretched hands.
She could see them slowly deciphering
the ill-written message, and then
glance up at her again. whereupon she
gestured frantically that they were TO
take 1t to the town. They quickly
caught her meaning and. giving her a
wave of encouragement, started down
the canyon on run.
