did you examine his armY asked
ArbuckIe.
Yes, sir; examined it very careful
" while Mr.. Glover and the police Off
GERS were testing the safe. The arm
had been struck terrific blow with
heavy cane. The blow fell squarely
on the wrist, dislOcating the wrist
joint. Both bones of the forearm, the
radius and the ulna, were badly frac-
tured. 1t was the worst fracture

Arbuckle continued:

time his arm was broken and the time
you arrived?
/ Dr. MOrgan'S answer was:
'The hand was entirely paralyZed.
1t would have been a physical impos-
Sibility, assuming even that his mental
state would have permitted it. The
bones haven't knit yet. At that time
/ he couldn't have moved the arm or the
hand a fraction of an inch"
That's all, DR.. Morgan" said Mr..
Arbuckle, and the physician left the
stand. do you know where Mr.. GLOW

attorney that he shed light on one of
j the dark places in the case, almost as
a sovereign might confer an order upon
a subject whom he especially deigned
to honor. A very important person
was Mr.. Stanley Glover!
''I'll be glad to do anything in my
power said Glover. There was a
smile of quiet self confidence on his
face as he spoke.

Glover.
Indeed yDu were. Now, Mr.. Glover,
you will recall that you proceeded to
search Mr.. Strickland's pockets in the
hope of finding the card. 1t was in his
coat pocket you found it, l believe"
Yes; side pocket"
"Now, if you don't mind, I'd just like
to have you describe that scene in de-
tail"
HE was on yne floor, lying on his
back" said Glover. Il was standing
over him, Oh the right side. AS l bent
over him and went through his peck

getting the card out of his pocket, the
left side pocket of the coat, and you

That's correct" said Glover.
/ "But before you had a chance to get
the card out of reach he raised himself
on his right elbow and with his left
hand snatched the card out Of your

Yes"

tails just put me straight" said Ar

"Al right; I'll let you know when

ne tore it." Arbuckle went on. NOW,
how did he tear it? He had the card
/ in his left hand-like this. Right?
'Yes," said Glover.
"And he was supporting himself on
his other elbow like this. Yes?"
/ 'Yes."
'Then he made a quick backward
movement-like this-tearing the card
almost in half? Is that it,"
The lawyers acting was perfect and
held the court spellbOund.
'That's right" said Stanley Glover.
"And then you took the card away
from him, and he threatened you,
didn't he, as you took the card?"
