was brought here for the trial as
a defense expert.

pattern of life interrupted by his
arrest for the Staying and looked
back on his trial and acquittal as
though these things happened to
some one else.

1ury's recommendation for his de-
portation and insisted his immediate
plans went no further than a sail in
his star class yacht and a fishing

time from his arrest, on July 9, the
day after Sir Harry was found
beaten to death in a smoldering
bed, until his acquittal, Thursday
he had felt objective, as though

He had no theory to dissolve the
mystery Of the Staying.

While he talked. Nancy shared
the small settee with him. When
De Marigny jokingly remarked that
I was tried 10 per cent for killing
Sir Harry Oakes and 90 per cent
Tor marrying his daughter Nancy
