placed in history as a memorial to
his zeal and perseverance.
What Columbus really sees as he
looks south from the monument on
which he stands is the white dome
of the Capitol of the great Nation
Of the New World. The winged god
dess-like figure on the prov of the
ship in front Of Columbus is 'In
spiration" or Faith" 1t represents
the force which led him over the Sea
of Darkness, as he persistently COM
manded his mutinouS crew to sail
on, sail on"
Surmounting the marble shaft
which serves as a background for
the statue there Is a massive globe
representing the world. 1t is sig
nificant of the fact that Columbus
convinced mankind that the world
was round.
When the monument was unveiled,
13 years ago, this great marble
sphere. weighing 30 tons, showed the
geography of the Western Hemis-
phere more plainly than it does to-
day, for weathering has partially
obliterated the markings. Each of
the four eagles which support this
globe weighs six tons. The bearded
Anglo Saxon who sits on the east
side of the statue and the American
Indian on the west each represents
his own hemisphere.
The stone lions on the extension Of
the monument to the east and west
of the statue weigh seven tons each

Young Bywaters had so lost his head over his
friends wife that he kept all her etters-a piece of
foolishness that always regarded as his browning
mistake and one that might be said to have led the
woman to the scaffold For those burning epistles
contained numerous passages. referring to Mrs
Thompsons abortve attempts to cause her husbands
death, so that she might openly be united with her
illicit lover!
One evening Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson-who were
outwardly on the happiest terms with each other
went to a theatrical show in the West End of London.
On their way home they were walking toward their
house in Ilford when, in the darkness, weird trag-
edy was enacted.
A passerby heard Mrs. Thompson suddenly scream
out:
ooh, whatever shall do? Ny husband has
fallen and cut his head!
doctor came on the scene, and by the Pickering
light of match examined the hudded body on the
pavement and pronounced Percy Thompson dead
from hemOrhage. Not until later examination
in the morgue was it discovered that the man had
been murdered-that he had been three times so
SavageIy stabbed that ne must have died at once
This point once established, the police moved
swiftly. They nterrogated the hysterical widow.
She prOfesSed herself entirely unable to throw any
light on how her husband had been killed. Whose
had been the hand that came out of the dark and
stabbed her husband at her side she knew not.
But in a street drain near the fatal spot a heavy
knife still stained with blood, had been found. 1t
was Fred Bywaters's knife!
So he was arrested, and in his rooms those
traordinary letters of Edith Thompson were found.
She was therefore, arrested, too and the pair faced
trial for consprng together TO murder Percy Thomp
SON. There was a fve-day legal battle over them at
the Old Bailey-a battle full of sensational incidents
which have no space to describe.
The jury consisting of eleven men and one
