taurant. He himself had not been
seen by the Major.
This testimony, in connection
with Mr.. Montagu's, annihilated the
Majors carefully planned alibi; and
though the defense contended stub.
b0rnly that both witnesses had been
mistaken in their Identification, the
jury was deeply impressed by the
evidence, especially when Assistant
District Attorney Sullivan, under
vance's tutoring, painstakingly ex-
planned, with diagrams, how the
Major could have gone out and re.
turned that night without being
seen by the boy.
It was also shown that the jewels
could not have been taken from the
scene Of the crime except by the
murderer; and Vance and I were
called as witnesses to the finding Of
them in the Majors apartment.
Vance's demonstration Of the
height Of the murderer was shown
in court, but, curiously, it carried
little weight, as the issue was con.
fused by mass of elaborate scien-
tific objections. Captain hagedorn's
Identification Of the pistol was the
most difficult obstacle with which
the defense had to contend.
The trial lasted three weeks, and
much evidence Of a scandalous ma
ture was taken, although, At Mark
hams suggestion Sullivan did his
best to minimize the private affairs
of those innocent persons whose
lives unfortunately touched upon
the episode. Colonel Ostrander,
however, had never forgiven Mark
ham for not having had him called
as a witness.
During the last week Of the trial
Miss Muriel st. Clair appeared as
prima donna in q large Broadway
light-opera production which ran
successfully for nearly two years.
She has since married her chival-
rous Captain Leacock, and they ap-
pear perfectly happy.
Pfyfe is still married and as ele-
giant as ever. He visits New York
regularly, despite the abesnce of
his dear old Alvin; and I have
occasionally seen him and Mrs.
Banning together. Somehow, / shall
always like that woman.
Pfyfe raised the $1O,OOO--how, ]
have no idea-and reclaimed her
jewels. Their ownership, by the
way, was not divulged at the trial,
for which / was very glad.
On the evening of the day the
verdict was brought in against the
Major, Vance and Markham and /
were sitting in the Stuyvesant Club.
We had dined together, but no word
of the events of the past few weeks
had passed between us. Presently,
however, l saw an ironic smile
creep slowly to Vance's lips.
Il say, Markham" he drawled;
"what a grotesque spectacle the
trial was! The real evidence, "
know, wasn't even introduced. Ben
son was convicted entirely on sup

The firms securities had been
Systematically appropriated for pri-
vate speculations; but whereas AL
vim Benson had succeeded in cover
ing himself and making a large
profit, the Major hald been almost
completely wiped out by his invest
ments.
Markham was able to show that
the Majors only hope of replacing
the diverted securities and saving
himself from criminal prosecution
Law in Alvin Benson's immediate
death.
It was also brought out at the
trial that the Major, on the very
day Of the murder, had made en-
phatic promises which could have
been kept only in the event Of his
gaining access to his brothers safe.
Furthermore, these promises had
involved specific amounts in the
others possession; and, in one in
stance, he had put up, on 48-hour
note, security already pledged
fact, which, in itself, would have
exposed his hand, had his brother
lived.
MISS Hoffman was helpful and
intelligent witness for the prosecu-
tion. Her knowledge Of conditions
at the Benson and Benson offices
went far toward strengthening the
case against the Major.

planned, $50 can the psychologist
who understands the human mind,

that all this blather about the miss

Of aesthetic organization could re-
store the arms exactly as they were

He made one Of his rare gestures
Of delicate emphasis.
