thought tt best to let the prisoner have
Ms fall say. Wltb a solemn lowering
of his bssd, Arthur answered:
"When I saw my home desolated to
one dreadful night With one sister
dead in the house, tbe victim of vio-
lence, and another delirious from
fright or some other anaiogoua cause.
I bad ample time to think -and I used
that time. That's all."
Simple words, read or repeated, bot
In that crowded courtroom, with every
ear strained to catch the Ile which
seemed the only refuge for tbe man
so hemmed to by circumstance, these
words, uttered without the least at-
tempt at effect, fell with a force
which gave new life to such as wished
to see this man acquitted.
"When did you are your sister Ade-
laide for the last time •lire?'
"'That night at the dinner table.
When I left the room I tnrned to look
•t her. She was not looking at MP.
An i slammed the door and went up-
state". In an hour err an i had left
the house to g. -t a drink. 1 got the
drink, but I never saw Adelaide again
till I saw her In bee coma"
This blunt dental of the crime for
which be stood there arraigned fell
on my heart with a weight which
showed me bow inextinguishable 11
the hope we. cherish deep down un-
der all surface convictions. I bad
been anconselous of this hope, but it
was there. It seemed to die a double
death at these words. For I be-
Ileced him! Courage is needed tor a
lie. Tpere were no signs visible in
him as yet of bis having drawn upon
this last resource of tbe despairing.
1 should know 1t when be did. He
could Dot bide the subtle change from
the.
To others tbls declaration came -with
greater or lea force, according as it
was viewed in the lIgbt of a dra-
matic trick of Mr. Moffars or as the
natural outburst of a man fighting
for his life In his own way and with
hie own weepotta
Mr. Moffat aatlsflrd so far. put his
next question with equal directness:
"Mr. Cumberland, you have men-
tioned eeetng your stater In her cot-
dn. When was tbisr
"At the close of ber tneeral• jest be-
fore she was carried out"
"Had you seen the casket prior to
this moment of wine," you speak? Had
you been tear It? Had you handled ft
1n any way?"
:'No, Sr." a
"Mr. timberland, you bare begird
mention made of a ring worn by your to

"1 do."

What would-be the answer of the ma
wbo was bYtsved not only to bay
made himself the possessor of tb
ring, but to have taken a most strange
and uncanny method of disposing o
1t afterward?
"1 saw It whin the police showed
to me and asked me if 1 could ldentif

"Was that the only time you hay
seen It op to the present moment r
"It to."
The universal Wence gave way to •
universal sigh of excitegQient and re -
nee. Without w•iUog NT the present
sentiment to cool. Mr. Moffat proceed-
ed Immediately with bis examination:
"You swear that you bare seen this
ring but once since the night of your
sister's death, sod that was wben it
was 'Down you in the coroner's officer
"I do."
"Does this mean that it was not In
your possession at any time during
that interim r
"It certainly does."''
"Mr. Cumberland, more than one
witness bas testified to the fact of
your having been seen to place you
hand In the casket of your sister, be-
fore the eyes of tbe minister and o
others attending her funeral. Is this
true?"
"It la"
"Wm not this a moat unusual thing
to dor
"Perhaps. I was not thinking about
that 1 bad duty to perform, and I
performed 1f•"
"A duty? Will you explain to the
jury what duty?"
The witness' bead rose, tben sank.
Ile, as well as every one else, seemed
to be impressed by the solemnity of
the moment 1 even thought i could
detect a tremor In his muscles as well
as In his voice:
"I had rebelled against my sister's
wishes; i had grieved and deceived her
up to the very night of her foul and
unnatural death - and all tbrough
drink." Here hie eye flashed. and for
tbat fleeting moment he looked a man.
"I wished to take an oath -an oath I
would remember. It wan for this
purpose 1 ordered the casket opened
and thrust my Engem through the
flowers 1 found there. When my fin-
gers touched my sister's brow i in-
wardly swore never to taste liquor
again. I have kept that oath."
It was an unexpected explanation
and calculated to cause a decided and
favorable reaction in the minds of
those who had looked upon this espe-
cial act of his as an irrefutable proof
of guilt. Mr. Moffat'. voice was beard
rising again In his strange but telling
examination:
"When you thrust your hand in to
take this oath, did you drop anything
into your sister's casket?"
"1 did not. My hand was empty. I
held no ring and dropped none tn. I
simply touched ber forebead."
This added to the feeling, and In an-
other instant the excitement mtgbt
hare risen Into hubbub had not the
emotions of one little woman found
vent In a low and sobbing cry, which
relieved the tension and gave just the
relief needed to bold In check the over-
strained feelrnre of the crowd. 1 knew
the voice and cast one quick gleam
I, moat discreet answer given under the
e Instigation of hes counsel

the ring Into the casket 1f Arthur had
f not -the Innocent children. the griev-
ing servants -was latent of course, In
It every breast, but it bad not yet reach

affrightedly out of slgbt under the die
mayed looks of father and mother. Mr.
Moffat continued his examination by
demanding why, when the ring woe
discovered in Adelaide's casket and be
saw what inferences would be drawn
from the fact, he bad not made as im-
mediate public explanation of his con-
duct and the reasons be had bad for
putting his hand there.
