Gradually I fell into the b ief that it was
a hopeless ease of dofcnse. I had learned
nothing to strengthen ryl's theory.
The prosecution openly ea ttyed that they
had a clear cause. My fri id John Greve
patronizingly told me t do the best I
could. and reminded iso
no charign in staking a
forlorn hope. I called upon
once and she ree eived me

her power. I felt when I came -away that
Daryl tied made a great mistake. As the
day of the trial approached the 1ihwspapers
'referred to Clarkson as the murderer
whose guilt was unmistakable, and Clark-
son Ilinrself in one or two interviews had
talked wildly and desperately and hurt
his own case irremediably.
I think it was on the 26th of April. when
I got an absurd and very brief letter from
Daryl in Washington. This was all it 1
.said: "If you get discouraged ;;o and see
;1 rs. Clarkson. Will be on with a fact or
-atwo on Monday."
The letter did not stimulate me, but the
-visit to Mrs. Clarkson did. I found her
: in improved but modest quarters up town
Band much more hopeful than I expected.
:'She seized lac br the hands and said: "I
pray for you night atia1 morning—that
.gee :'en will preserve you till this Is over.

pen
ap pen to you. 0, sir, we never con pay you;
but when you see that poor dear with his
children in his arms once more I ala
sure you will feel that you have not boon
wholly unpaid."
I tried to let down the pogs of this
strain as softly as I could and tell° that it
would not do to be oversanguino of the
result. but she said, with MINN assnraucl,
that et -o Laid no fear of the result lln;r,and
shortly afterward:, her two witamino chil-
dren omn tel to me t.it]1 pitiable im-
portance that papa was coaling home
again.
So when Dar,rl arrived on i rrday I .
told hien that I felt as if I were the only
guilty party in the enhe. We had allowed
an estimable woman to hutha up the most
unwarranted hopes only to cruelly des-
troy them in the end.
Daryl raid no agenthat whenever to
this, "I have got an important fret," he
said. "Tho Prineveau' were abroad in
1877, and staid two weeks in Gcncva, I

The day of the trial ¶arrived in May.
Daryl and I had arranged our plan care-
fully. We were to let the,prosecution sail
along with only a perfuitot'oly show of
objections and the most Careless of cross -
to
and wait for Mrs. Prim -reale get on the stand. Daryl kept out of
court, and the state ]lad i everything its
own way. The killing was shown, •the
post-mortem gone over mid the bullet and
pistol shown and identified, and the own-
ership established. I let each witness go
by without an attempt to , confuse or in-
validate his testimony, null only cross-ex-
amined the girl, Rosy, in accordance with
Daryl's suggestion.
"`One moment, Miss Kenny," I said, as
she was leaving tho stand. "You have
testified that Mrs. Prinerc;iu alone assisted
Mr, Prinereaut to dross fo} the ride?" •
Rosy—" Yos, sir; she alit aays helped him
to dross."
"When you came into the room was he
etnnp'••,tely (tressed?"
"No, sir; he lmcl his waistcoat on, but '
not his coat, and ho was going into his
awn room to get it." a
"And Mrs. Prineveau called after him .
to hurry, as it was eight minutes of three?"
"Yes, sir." •
"Now, Miss Benny, try and recall i!
Mrs. Prineveau did not say anything else
bcforti they left alto lrousc't"
"0, yes, sir. • Siso called back tp mo on
the stairs and told*me Ito keep her door
locked, as there were strange neon work-
ing on the roof."
"Khat wore they doing there?"
"Fixin' the tin." d
"How many of thein?"
"Two or three, I guess. "•
"That will do, Miss Kenny."
So transparently •puerile and nude of
any mark was all this to Jthn Groove that
be calve to ale at recess and in his Ia. ge
patronizing way said, as ho laid his hand
on my shoulder: •
"Harry, my dear fellow, !you'll have to
get up some steam :and intake a show of
earning your retainer. By Jove, I re-
aalIllllendexl you!" -•
Daryl on the other hand was'in the Best
of 'minor when we vier. i11 my study.
"Capital, capital." :arid he. "Couldn't
ho better.• The two or three men on the
r•lc'f is a surprise. The evening papers axe
playing into our hands beautifully.
"One of thein say-(.: The counsel for
the defense lout to be waked up at intervals
and asked to say a few words and then
went to sleep again.' That's a godsend.
"If Mrs. Prineveau is not lulled into a
profound sense of security, by this time
then I'm an 'Win. Keep your eye on her
when I come -into court and sit down by
your side."
