peculiar defence in a murder trial,
and after an hours deliberation
the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty, and Beal was sentenced to
the gallows.
On his last morning Beal re-
ceived the consolation of his faith
from Father Shepherd, who had
caused a temporary altar to be
erected for the purpose of cele-
brating various Catholic devotions.
When the execution hour arrived
and went into his cell to pinion
him, Beal's face was drawn and
haggard. He looked a sturdily-
built youth, and stood five feet
nine inches tall.
After l had pinioned his wrists
at the back and was standing in
front of him loosening his shirt
neck, he turned his feverish eyes
upon me and rnuttered:
"Don't hurt me-"
His eyes followed me about like
those of a disabled animal that
fears some nameless torture-just
what one might have expected
from an unfledged boy, totally I'M
ready for death.
I rarely spoke to a condemned
person, but this lads appeal
touched me deeply.
"You need have no fear" l said
quietly. at will all be over very
quickly. You will not suffer or
feel anything"
And I spoke the truth. Young
Beal was swept into eternity so
skilfully and so swiftly that his
death was instantaneous and pain
less. i kept my word; I did not
"hurt" him.

not going to be able to produce
any direct evidence that Mr.. and
Mrs. Seldom, or either of them,
actually murdered Miss Barrow.
The fight was to be waged over
purely circumstantial evidence -
the interest of the parties in Miss
Barrow's death, their opportunities
for poisoning her, and their con-
duct afterward, and l was deeply
interested in seeing the skilful way
in which the able lawyers brought
out all the facts relating to these
three points.
With regard to motive, it came
out quite early in the trial that
Miss Barrow, being bothered about
her investments and her property,
had given them all to Mr.. Seldom
on condition that he give her an
annuity which would take care of
her for the rest of her life.
Three days before her death
Seddon had drawn up a will for
Miss Barrow, in which she ap-
pointed him her sole executor and
trustee. She left her furniture,
jewelry and personal belongings to
two adopted children when they
should come of age, but made no
disposition respecting her loose cash
or other property.
Here, then, were the necessary
motives. If Miss Barrow were
dead the annuity would stop, and
her invested money and house
property and cash would all go into
the pockets of the Seddons. They
We're the only persons who could
gain by her demise. Nobody else
but the Seddons waited upon Miss
Barrow. She became I'll on Sep
TENDER / of what the doctor said
was epidemic diarrhoea, and. died
in the presence of only mir. and
Mrs. Seldom on Septem' er Ia.
The theory of the prosecution
was that the Seddons had pur-
chased arsenical fly-papers, Sc
ured the poison from them by soak
them in water, and administered
this to the helpless woman in her
food and medicine. They pro-
duced a chemist who positively de-
clared he had sold some of these
arsenical fly-papers to q person
connected with the Seldom house
hold.
The question of the conduct of
Mr.. and Mrs. Seldom after the
death was one that produced many
strange disclosures during the
trial. Both of the accused admitted
that Miss Barrow's death was very
unexpected, yet the natural act of
for the doctor was not per-
formed. Instead, there was Sed-
don's immediate search for her
of which he declared he
found only $40.
The manner of her hurried bur-
ial was also a curious feature. Sed-
don had even haggled with the
