CHAPTER l.

Four miles from Ithaca. N. T..
Oscar Benefits farm spread Its acres
along tie face of West Hill between
the Lehigh Valley tracks and the high
way leading to Johannesburg. Oscar
Bennett was what the country people
and even the Ithaca folks called fine
farmer. His farmhouse faced lane
that led to the west shore Of Lake
Cayuga. and from the front porch he
could see. much to his dislike. the few
stragglin~ squatter shacks that

lent City. Like all other substantial
citizens, Oscar detcsted the squatters.
In his estimation they were q set Of
thieving loafers and sneaks, and many
times he Ind wished that he owned
the ground they squatted on instead
Of Marcus Mackenzie.
OF course II was no secret that
Mackenzie never let an opportunity
slip to pop fisherman into jail. but
In Benefits opinion that treatment
was not severe enough. and besides. 1t
did NOT accomplish anything. Mac
Kenzie's idea was to Jail the men
whenever the chance came and for
period as long as the law would allow.
But what good did that do7 Fierce
hatred famed in the haggard faces Of
the women, and they held to their
squatter rights with the tenacity Of

have done away with the wives and
mothers II the job Of breaking up the
Silent City had been his. No man
would hang to q hut long without
woman In II.
One morning In the early spring Os-
car was finishing his breakfast when
the door opened slowly. A girl with
4 small tin pail In her hand stepped
into the room. She smiled at him al
most humbly.

The girls bare wet feet drew tense

mind. and then she would take home

FAMOUS TRIALS
THE ARpLAMeNr CASE

Next to the famous trial Of Madeline
Smith in England In 1857, for the alleged
murder of her hover LAuealier by arsenic
al poisoning no case more excited the legal
profession and the public In the United
Kingdom than that known as the Ardia-
mont Case, which occupied the attention
Of Lord Chief Justice Clerk Of Scotland
and a jury from Tuesday the 18th to
Saturday, the 23rd OF Decern5er in 1898
In fact the case was watched with the
greatest OF interest on both sides Of the
Atlantic.
& On the eve Of the announcement Of the
shooting season in August Of 1893, no.
tice appeared in the daily palers Of
Scotland that Lieut. Cecil Haubrough, a
young man Of sholt 30 years had shot
himself by accident in a plantation on the
estate Of Ardfamont, IN Argylfshire, Scot
land.
The catastropne excited little attention
at the time for accidents by flood and
field in the pursuit Of sport were and
still are by no means uncorpnon But
within a fortnight after Lieut.. Ham
brough's death, which occurred on the
morning of Aug. 10. rumors of foul play
began to circulate and at the end OF the
month news ives sent ahroass that Alfred
john Monson, the lessee of the Ardln-
mont estate where Hanlbrough met his
death, and Hambrough's army coach, had
been arrested on q charge Of numbering
him, and trat another man named Scott, z
who had sEiseared at Ardlanont day
