 A few moments later a shot is heard and Langdon and others. upon entering the Gray Room find David Pollock shot through the heart and Mary Page lying in a faint beside him with Pol locks revolver not six inches from the ends of her fingers.
 At Mary's trial she admits she had the revolver. Pollock had invaded her dressing room at the theatre, Langdon had come to her rescue, the revolver had been knocked from Pollock's hand and Mary had seized and retained it. She had put it in her hand bag

 And, snatching up his hat, Brennan set off down the corridor at brisk trot, the waiter staring after him and nodding with pleasure at being able to comprehend the orders that the lawyer had given.

 Yes" said Langdon; I'm going to call you The first thing. You mustn't be nervous about it. though. It's not really such an ordeal as it sounds"

 Her maid testifies that Mary threatened Pollock with 1t pre- viously, and Mary's leading man duplicates Langdon.
 How Mary disappeared from the scene of the crime is a mys- tery. Brandon tells of a strange hand print he saw on Mary's shoulder.
 Further evidence shows that horror of drink produces tempo rary insanity in Mary.
 The defense is "repressed psy- chosis." Witnesses described Mary's flight from her intoxicat- ed father and his suicide.

Nurse Walton describes the Kidnapping of Mary by Pollock. and Amy Barton tells of Mary's struggles to become an actress, of Pollock's pursuit of her and of another occasion when the smell of liquor drove Mary in- sane.
 There is evidence that Daniels, Mary's manager, threatened Pol lock. Mary faints on the stand and again goes insane when policeman offers her whisky.
 Daniels testifies that Pollock threatened to kill Mary and Langdon and actually attempted to kill Langdon.

 Maggie Hale. inmate of a gam bling den, testifies that she was at the hotel and heard two men quarreling in the Gray Room a short time before the murder. Her evidence seems to increase suspicion against Daniels.
 Daniels privately informs Lang don that Mary Page did not kill Pollock and that if Mary is in danger of going to the electric chair he will tell all he knows of the case.

 "Yes, sir"
 "That is all, thank you, MT. Watson" And as the waiter stepped down with

 There was stir through the court room, and some commotion as the chauffeur got to his feet in confusion, and stared at Langdon.
 "D'you mean mel" he asked bluntly; and when the court crier repeated the name. Frank Carter!" he scrambled over the intervening spectators and went down the room excitedly.

He did not seem happy over the pros |pect of being made so conspicuous.

 Langdon was overjoyed at the ready answers he was receiving.
 If he had trained this man for cou- pie of days he could not have asked for better results.
