There was a pond in the grounds
OF the Red House. He had dragged
this. but without result
Antony listened to him careless
~, thinking his own thoughts all
the time. Medical evidence follow
ed, but there was nothing to be got
from that. He felt so close to the
truth; at any moment something
might give his brain the oneFlittle
hint which it wanted. Inspector
Birch was just pursuing the ordin-

it was not ordinary. There was
something uncanny about 1t
Antony went on with his
thoughts.
The coroner was summing up.
The jury. he said had now heard
all the evidence. The medical evi-
dence would probably satisfy them
that Robert Albeit had died from
the effects of bullet-wound in
the head. VIVA had fired that bull

himself, no doubt they would bring
in a verdict OF suicide, but If this
had been so, where was the revolt

bility Of suicide, what remained
Accidental death, justifiable hom-
icide, and murder. Could the de-
ceased have been killed accidentally
1t was possible, but then would
Mark Albeit have run away?
The evidence that he had run
away from the scene Of the crime
was strong His cousin had seen
him go into the room, the servant
Elsie Wood had heard him quarrel
ing with his brother in the room,
the door had been locked from the
inside, and there were signs that
outside the open window someone
had pushed his way very recently
through the shrubbery- Who, If
not Mark? s#
They would have then to consid-
er whether he would have run away

Tiers death. No doubt innocent
people lost their heads sometimes.
1t was possible that if it were prov

shot his brother it might also be
proved that he was justified in 50
doing, and that when he ran away
from his brothers. corpse. he had
really nothing to fear at the hand

Indian Christians OF Jullunder

British authorities against recent
acts of repression in that city, &C.
cording to a report just received
here by the American Commission

alleged repressions came on Janu.

at the sale of excise contracts.
Nationalist volunteers" the
American commission says in a
statement issued on the occurrence,
gathered at a distance from the
courthouse to urge against the bid.
ding for contracts. Aroused by
the success Of the pickets. whose
pleas had prevented any bids
being made. Lieutenant Colonel
Buck. the district magistrate. led
the police in a charge against the
volunteers, beating the latter I'M

fell under the rain OF blows were
grabbed by the arms or feet anu
dragged along the road, while other
policemen kicked and beat them.
-Four charges were led by Colonel
Buck, supported by two English
military officers, who, in their
blind fury, attacked all Indians, re-
gardless of whether they were
affiliated with the non-co-operation
movement. Pandit Chamba Ram,
a poet, was beaten by Colonel
Buck while pleading with the
people to dispense. Houses were
entered and all found therein, re-

although they had taken no part
in the picketing. Colonel Buck
used his lathi so free and savagely
that he broke II over the head OF
a boy who was lying unconscious
NO resistance was offered by the
non-co operators, for although many
were seriously injured they had
achieved their aim-prevented by
peaceful means the sale OF the
liquor and drug licenses.
Following this outrage the Indian
Christians. without regard to politi.
cal affiliation, assembled in the
Presbyterian Church. under the
leadership OF their pastor and
adopted resolutions OF protest,
which. after reciting the facts Of
the attack on the people, said:
I'VE condemn such treatment
accorded to peaceful subjects OF his
Imperial Majesty, the King Emperor,
as inhuman and un-Christian.

the temperance movement
