Many beautiful churches may be

made also visit to the "Schloss,"

might have spent weeks in sight

hasten on.

The husband, having a proper

the wife had omitted an impor.

wears in such cases.
When Descroix, through the

promptly closed the door again

In court they were tried for this

The wife was sentenced to one

But as for this shooting, no.

OF the wilderness camp, had on the

old Rector's lobster palace. They
were still electric blue. but a bit
the worse for the ravases of time.
PROSECUTOR'S ATTITUDE.
District Attorney Jerry declined
frem the beginning to make known
the names of the persons who were
present In the camp, but promised
to do so later. He added much to
the mysterious atmosphere Of the
affair by his silence, but he said:
"I learned Of no possible motive
for an attempt at murder. I did
not get SO much as a hint Of any
reason for an attempt at suicide.
Judging from Johnson's condition
when medical aid reached him from
the mainland. he had not been
drinking, and there was no
evidence that any others in the
party had been drinking"
And the District Attorney went
out golfing!
Peggy Marsh and Albert l..
johnson had been dancing at the
Ritz-Carlton together under con.
tract Just before they went to
camp together. They had been liv.
ing at the Great Northern Hotel.
This was the couples second dane
ing engagement Of the season.
In April last. Peggy had made
contract with the Midnight Supper
Club to dance ten weeks at the
Tent. but after three weeks the
contract ended, with Peggy suing
the corporation for $1.75o which
she said she was owed. The sup
per club retorted by asserting that
she was owed nothing because she
and her husband partner had been
advanced money on the contract.
and further that certain "mer.
chandise," the nature Of which was
not stated, had been delivered to
them. The dancers suit is still
in litigation.

Nobody else had been at the
lodge at the time, except serv-
ants, Peggy said, and she should
know. Her memory was clear
to the last detail regarding the
turning Of the revolver cylinders
in opposite directions-but John
son Is a service man and fire
arms have long been familiar to
him.
"why was there any confusion
about the ownership Of the weap-
on with which the man was shot? {?
Why were not both pistols and
the bullet itself shown?
Sergeant Boyce said that
Peggy had told him two stories
that conflicted concerning the
shooting. The sergeant said that
Mr.. Bacon, OF Plattsburg. was
nearby for his nerves when the
shooting occurred, but that
Peggy had told him that only
she and her husband heard the

LIED TO WIFE.
For several days he remained
. there, declaring to her that he wa
tired Of his long journey. He ex-
planned that his business had not
been very profitable. and appeared
disappointed. Madame Buisson's
clothes ne had added to his strange
collection of souvenirs of his fian.
Gees, which he kept in secret out at
Neuilly.
He was still careful not to be
seen about Paris in the daytime,
for although Inspector Gaffiot
might pretend that he had relin.
quished the search for the fiancs
of the missing Madame Cuchet, yet
he knew that the Surete possessed
a hundred other lynx eyes, and
that the mouchards were every.
where.
He wrote to his friend Caillard,
in the name Of Outlet. asking the
old receiver to meet him at night
in a small cafe close to the Pont
Neuf, and there he disposed Of the
possessions Of Madame Buisson,
promising to let him have an au.
thority signed by the dead woman
who. he explained, had "gone
abroad"
The bargain was struck over
glasses OF coffee. though Caillard
had never seen the furniture.
