/ onel Graham would not barricade
his house against James; who had
free access at all times, and Sir
Henry would hardly have kept a
man of whom he was in deadly
peril as his confidant and friend.
Nor would James be inclined to
risk his neck when he knew that
Sir Henry was leaving everything
to him; in fact made out the will
himself"
James gave gasp Of astonish-
ment, and he licked his dry lips.
Selden continued:
eyes, Mr.. Livingstone told me
that the same writing had always
been used in all the letters he had
received, and he had concluded
that Sir Henry had paralysis or
some impeachment which prevented
him from writing, and which he
wished unknown.
But James played an important
part in this business, = On the night
Of the murder he was rung up by
Sir Henry on his private wire, and
came to see him in this very room.
What took place don't know, but
James placed the candlestick in
Lady Severinge's bedroom for
some reason" He cast an inquir.
ing look at the butler, who re-
manned silent.
Call right, then; perhaps he will
tell us later. But James stood to
benefit by the will, and in fact in
herited an enormous sum, and yet
stayed on here as butler, and was
trying to do everything he could
for Lady Severinge and the chill
dren. And don't forget, James
was not in any fear of personal
violence.
There could be only one ex-
PLANTATION to my mind, however
bizarre that appeared-that the
money did not belong either to Sir
Henry or James,
The silence in the room was OPP
pressive-the people round the
table hardly dared to breathe.
Sylvia was sitting close to Jack
Reid, and he had grasped her
hand in his, for she was trembling
as much with expectation as with
the narrative that brought the
past up so wildly.
"Such, then, was my position"
Selden went on without emotion,
after calmly lighting his pipe from
the fire with a spill.
1.-THE Investigations must lie in
the past. Someone in the house
must have been an accessory, If
not the murderer, for how else
could he have access to the place
at night ?"
There might have been a secret
way in" Hutchins said.
Selden laughed. There was, but
the murderer never came that
way. I took care Of that. Now
just think-Sir Henry went down
that passage, ,1narmed and in
pajamas, to his death; he, a man
who feared attack-would he go
like this to keep an appointment
or from idle ctriosity? 1t came
to me, and I am right-that he
had been in the habit of going
down to the chapel. Mrs. Thorn
ton let that out to us, Hutchins.
Then the murderer had probably
been waiting his chance for night
after night until it came"
But why that night particu-
larly?" Reid asked, with a mean
ing that only Selden compre-
hended.
'Ah, there we are touching on
another and deeper matter, but I
will come to that all in good
time"

a tendency toward the commission

executed, the report showed. Two
youths, one Is and one Is, got COM
mutations solely due to their youth,
Gill said. Three men got sentences
changed due to extreme mental def
cheney and the seven sentenced to
die for first degree burglary got COM
mutations because there was doubt,
either as to guilt or degree of guilt"
In 95 per cent of the cases the report
said court officials have shared the
doubt of the Governor" One man,

Easing on Burglary
In regard to the first degree burg
larry combinations, the report set
forth that "of late there has been a
feeling among court officials that
death is too severe a penalty for the
crime of burglary in the first degree
when no serious harm is done. While
no rule has been declared, the COVER
nor has shared this view in the seven
cases"
The SO capital felons considered dur
ing the Ehringhaus administration
were born in six states and one for
eign country. North Carolina natives
numbered "A, South Caroiinians 6,
Georgians 3, Alabamans 1, and one
each were natives of West Virginia,
New Jersey and Bulgaria. Only one
had gone to college, and the average
education was 3.73 grades of public
school. Twenty four were illiterate.
Only "a had gone to school beyond the
fifth grade.
Youngest Is, Oldest IS
The youngest of the group was Is.
the Oldest 70, and the average age
287 years, while 90 were white, So
colored and one an Indian. There
was one woman in the SO, Sarah
Black, convicted of murder and given
a communication.
Sixty were unable to employ court
counsel and were defended by assign
ed lawyers, and II appealed to the
supreme court as paupers. Twelve
did not appeal and one five gave
bond for appeals
MedicOs Get Bodies
About One-fourth of the bodies IF
the men executed were turned over tn
medical schools when no relative
claimed them.
Gill pointed out that "the law of
capital punishment is a drastic law"

Raleigh, Jan. 1S.-In some quarters
there has been an inclination to doubt
the sincerity of Alamance's Ed r.
Hanford who has proposed that the
State manufacture liquor. These quar-
tiers profess to believe the Burling-
ton solon introduced the measure with
his tongue in his cheek and no real
desire for it's enactment.
Those who know the gentleman
from Alamance best, however, accept
at face value his statement that the
matter deserves the fullet considera-
ton. His argument against sending
so much money out of the State for
products North Cardinals own far
mers could supply is concededly
sound and his bill will be defeated
largely by vote of those favoring Ii
quor control entirely as the result of
political expediency and not of prin-
ciple, most observers agree.

The league is unit of the Dia-
mondball Association of the State,
and Manager Ingraham pointed
out that any Key West team
recommended by the league will
be able to represent the Island
City in the future at some neigh
boring city. tournament.
Laws. adopted last night were:
No playeH of any other team will
be accepted by managers of the
league without an official release
from the present manager. Each
batter must run for himself, with
the exception of the pitcher, who
must designate runner in the
event he does not care to run.
A diamondball team to be COM
posed of girls is being planned.
This innovation is expected to
prove an added attraction.
A committee was appointed to
interview city officials and have
children restricted from the
grounds while games are in pro-
gress, as was claimed that some
child may be critically hurt by the
ball. Parents are urged to aid in
this idea. Bicycle riding on the
sidewalks of Bayview Park during
games was pointed out as another
menace.
Nell Garbee, leading pitcher
with the California Champions of
1887, is expected to be in Key
West in the near future.
Will Camalier, league president,
announced the next meeting for
