murderers are two West Indian hall
boys of the apartments in which he
lived. They are now locked up and
Chief Benton is confident of the law
yers acquittal.
Corbin can thank his good friend,
DR.. Hyde, for the establishment of his
innocence. For it was the doctors in
innate knowledge of the scene of the
murder that led to the discovery of
clues to the murderers and the estab-
lishment of the motive which was rob
berry.
DR.. Hyde informed the detectives
that certain jewelry was missing from
Mrs. Corbin's jewel case. Finger
prints were found on a paper knife,
dresser drawer, jewel case. and other
things. The prints were photograph
ed, but examination disclosed no sim
ilarity between the doctors finger
prints and those discovered. The de-
tectives rounded up everyone in the
apartment house and learned two Of
the hallboys, West Indians, had disap-
peared. Their capture was effected on
a steamer bound for st. Rito,
How John Corbin. a high-minded
lawyer, declares that wealth and in
