worst part was getting out at the
other end, into the cellars; there were
heaps Of empty bottles to move, one

over the slab; and thought they rang
like peal of bells, but put them
all back again. and apparently
nobody overheard in the scullery.

Toye cooked his head at both ques-
ton and answer, but inclined 1t quick
ly as Cazalet turned to him before
proceeding.
Il went in and found Henry Craven
lying in his blood. That's gospel-it
was so found him-lying just where
he had fallen in a heap out Of the
leather chair at his desk. The top
right-hand drawer of his desk was
open, the key in it and the rest of the
bunch still swinging! A revolver lay
as 1t had dropped upon the desk-it
had upset the ink-and there were
cartridges lying loose in the open
drawer, and the revolver was loaded

the key and removed it with the bunch
But there was something else on the
desk-that silver-mounted truncheon
and mans cap was lying on the

first instinct, confess it, was to re-
move every sign Of manslaughter and
to leave the scene to be reconstructed
into one of accident-seizure-
thing but what it was!"
He paused as if waiting for ques-
ton. None was asked. Toye's mouth
might have been sewn up, his eyes
were like hatpins driven into his head
The other two simply stared.

and neither did it necessarily backen
the poor devil who had probably suf-
Tered from him like the rest of us
and only struck him down in self
defense. The revolver on the desk
made that pretty plain. 1t was out
OF the way, but now | saw blood all
over the desk as well; it was soaking
into the blotter, and it knocked the
bottom out of my idea What was to
be done? had meddled already; how
could give the alarm without giving
myself away to that extent, and God

turned the key in the door, to give
myself few seconds grace or start;
it reminded me of the keys in my
hands. One of them was one of those
little round bramah keys. 1t seemed
familiar to me even after so many
years looked up, and there was my
fathers Michael Angelo closet, with
it's little, round bramah keyhole
opened 1t as the outer door was
knocked at and then tried. But my
mad instinct of altering every pos
sible appearance, to mislead the po-
lice, stuck to me to the last. And

the closet with me, as we'll as the

Not n Nation of SINGERS.

In this country, though we have pro-
duced many fine voices. we have never
become nation of singers. There are,
it is true. in most of the leading cities
choral societies, but the singing of
large groups of people is comparative
ly uncommon among us Here is a
matter for regret, for among all large
bodies OF singers where there has been
more or less training the effect is beau
tiful and inspiring In fact, there are
few things in music more impressive
than the singing of hundreds Of
voices.

not unknown in England centuries

Bartlett sat on the bench in Glouces-

Lady Berkeley. who was given spe-

the occasion. In front Of it sat the
Kings counsel junior counsel, and
clerks on eight rows Of benches. So

took up space at the side and In the
rear Of the prisoners position. AT the
extreme left, facing the dock was the
umbrella-like plush covered witness
box where many persons are scheduled
to attempt to prove or discredt the
charge that Easement and Bailey are
guilty as alleged by the kings lawyers.
Il AS Lord Chief Justice Reading,

gold chain Of office, entered the cham
Der from the rear Of the Iostrum, all
assembled arose at the order4of the
clerk to remain until the court has
been formally convened. Accompany
ing the lord chief justice were his
two associates who will assist IN rem
dering the final sentence after the
jury has decided the guilt or inno-
cence of Easement and Bailey
The jury, twelve men, all apparent
ly over the prescribed military age,
filed into the box shortly before the
arrival Of the Justices Unlike an
American trial Of equal magnitude,
there was no wrangling Of counsel in
selecting the jurors Rules of the
court declare that the jury shall be
summoned by the sheriff and that dig
nitary performed his task without fuss,
friction, fear or favor. A printed list
Of names Of British subjects eligible
for jury service was all the data need
ed by the sheriff He simply notified
each prospective juror that he must
serve, and. unless there was serious
objection. the juror took his place jr
the box.
Conscientious objection to capital
punishment does not enter into the
psychology OF British jurors, it was
explained to the United Press in court
today. Brffish law calls upon the jury
merely to decide the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused, and the respon-
sibility for the sentence then passes
to the judge or judges.
Accompanied by single guard, the
prisoners entered the court from a
door at the side Every eye in the
chamber followed the tall, lean and al
most gaunt figure OF Easement as he
stepped to his place and was seated

Justices bench. Not awed in the least,

about the room and smilingly nodded

picked up large note pad and await
