The state was trying Edward Pei

officers of the state expressed no doubt
Of verdict against him--the state
would try Kitty Hewitt. The state,
charging Pellen with murder, charged
Kitty Hewitt with instigating the
crime.
The chief witnesses for the prose

facts Of the shooting as they had seen

Bertram was making haste TO his

I'LL upon it-upon her. that was; for
Kitty Hewitt was his goal. + ).
She was working in a business Of
flee on one of the upper floors of a
building a few blocks away; she was
working as a file clerk-her occupa-
ton and her location both having
been chosen for their inconspicuous-
ness.
Thirty thousand dollars was the
sum required to free her while she
awaited trial; and suddenly, spectacu-
larry, lawyer appeared with thirty
thousand dollars in cash in his hand
and bought her release. But he did
not disclose the name of his client.
Doctor Darand, hurrying from his
Office to the business block six squares
away. knew that the man who fur
nished the bail was power in the
city. There lowered his building
the Carfax building. Twenty years
ago Hugh Carfax had deserted his
wife and baby, and Kitty Hewitt was
that baby. He put up bail, anony-
mously, because he had now another
wife and another daughter in one Of
those apartments up on the gold
coast" where no one knew that he
was ever Walter Hewitt.
Doctor Darand entered the building
where Kitty Hewitt worked and as
cended to the eighteenth floor. At the
end of the hall farthest from the ele-
vatOrs, door opened into an Ordin-
airy commercial suite where the
agency business Of cement company
was carried on.
Four or five stenographers and bill
ers worked in the outer rooms beside
the private Office of the manager; but,
It was half-past twelve, and the Off
ces were deserted now, except for a
girl with glorious hair Of cOrn-cclor
who sat at desk near window.
She had been gazing out the window
when Bertram surprised her.
She turned quickly and smiled with
relief when she recognized him.
"You," she said.
Don't get up" he said, and as she
,relapsed into her chair, he drew an
other near her and sat down.
"You haven't had lunch, have your

He shook his head.
"Then please have 1t here" She

1t, and who also swore that Kitty
Hewitt had instigated Ed PelIen to
shoot.
Upon this Kate Fisher especially
dwelt in the evidence which she gave
during the second morning after the
jury had been completed and the ex-
animation Of witnesses was begun.
She-followed Officer Furgrister and
Sallie Keller, and to hear her. people
crowded the court room.
The witness was well drilled, In

Of this tremendous scene. Her dress
was dark. Her yellow hair was
dressed closely and modestly. Her
habitual holiness was lacking as she
mades her deliberate, damning replies.

The witness had gone pale under
the rouge upon her face. She was
clasping tightly the arms of her chair
and, when she ceased to speak. she
sucked her thin lips between her
teeth and bit them. Her hands clasped
and unclasped from her chair; she
shifted her feet. The silence worried
her, for the prosecutor was waiting
again.
So, leading on his witness, the
prosecutor plunged deeper and deep

sworn to by Kate Fisher that in the
passage beside the drug store Kitty
