The Story of a Crime
I was asked the other day how nany
0,8041 hed, known, in my lona experience
es 4 deteotive, of ninocent people beg coo
• elatedend puniehe1 for the crimes ef others
My answer was " Only one," and the case
is well worth relating end reeding.
I began my detectwe eareer in Canada,
and in a locality where justice made swift
work of evil -deers, I had beim, three yeare
in the business, and had done some very
fair work, when e very seiseational case Was
put into my hands. Three miles from the
city of B— lived a retired nieroliant named
Grafton. Ile had a fine mansion, elegant
groauds, end plenty of money, but his wife
was an install° patient in his Own house, and
the only child, a boy of 19, was half idiot.
Grafton was a silent partner in several con-
cerns in the city, but spent fon'-fifths of his
time at home, Hie wife was oever een,
while the young man lived more like a wild
animal then a human being, the greater
Part of his time being spent in the woods
and fields, no matter what the weather.
Grafton had as coachman, gardener, and
hired man a German about 35 years of age,
who had been in the country about five
years when I first saw him at the house.
There were three female servants, and one
of them was a girl 18 years of age named
jenuie Price, whose mother was a very re-
spectable widow in the city. This girl was
allowed to go home every other Saturday,
and alwaya rode in with Frit; the coach-
man, as he went to market, ran home for an
hour or two, and then returned by the same
vehicle. It was reported that .Fritz was in
love with and was jealous of her. Will
Grafton, the half idiot, bad also taken a
" shine " to her, but his attentions were
•laughed to scorn by the pretty Jennie and
her companions.
Now, then, in the afternoon of a oertain
14th of July several weighty incidents oc-
curred. Fritz received a letter with a for-
eign postmark, and was very much excited.
He was seen running to the barn with the
letter in hand, and, ten minutes later, was
heard shouting and storming to himself as
if greatly enraged and excited. The ser-
vants said to each other that he must have
received bad news, but none of them went
to investigate and console him.
It was Jennie's day to go home, but Graf-
ton was indisposed. Fritz suddenly disap-
peared, and Will was nnt allowed to drive
the horses. The girl, therefore, decided to
set out on foot, and take her chances of get-
ting a lift on the road. She left at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, and was to return by noon
next day. Saturday night it was discover-
ed that Fritz had left the house and local-
ity, not even asking for his wages, while
V ill had set off on one of his erratic excur-
sions, having been seen by the cook to pack
up some provisions.
Jennie did not return on Suuday or Mon-
day or Tuesday, and Grafton drove into
town on Wednesday and sent a message to
her house. She had not been home, and an
investigation revealed the fact that none of
her friends had seen her for two weeks. It

t
it would turn out like the 'majority of such
cases. However, when I had learned that
the girl was steady as well as handsome,
and that everybody had perfect confidence
Iin her principles,. I went to the Grafton
mansion to begin my search there. Thi
was on Thursday morning, and itnow seem
ed pretty plain that some calamity had be
fallen the girl. In an hour I learned al
the incidents related above. Grafton wa
very anxious in the matter, telling inc t
' spare no expense, but when I began to ques
tion Will, the young man turned on his heel
and walked off, as if deaf an I dumb. I,
however, had a chance to look over hirn for
/a couple of minutes, and I made note of sev-
eral things. A button bad been torn off his
coat with such force as to tear the cloth.
He had two scratches on the right cheek
and one on the right hand. One finger of
the left hand was tied up in a rag, mid the
I cook, who tied it up for him, told me that
1 something had bitten him severely.
I It was a quarter of a mile from the house
to the highway, with a carriage road run-
ning straight from the front door. This road
was taken by any of the servants who were
going to town on foot. By making a cut
through the wood they saved at least half a
mile in distance. The girl Jennie had been
seen to take this path on that Saturday, and
my search lay in that direction. The woods
covered about ten acres, and were not un-
derbrushed. The path was well defined, and
was is romantic walk for a summer's day,
the forest being alive with hares, squirrels,
and birds.
Half way through the woods the path
traversed is dell about half an acre in extent.
It was while crossing this that I got my first
clew. Several feet to the right of the path
was Jennie's parasol, and as I picked it up
I found that it had been badly broken.
While it was closed, as she would be likely
to carry it through the woods, four ribs
were broken and the handle loosened, and I
felt certain that she had used it as a weapon
of defence. Fifty feet further on, and right
on the path, I found her handbag. Across
the dell, in the thick evoods again, I found a
bow from her throat on a bush, and here the
earth had been torn up and the bushes
broken down to prove a struggle. It was
one which must have lasted for some time
and been fiercely contested, and I had no
sooner looked over the ground than I knew
that Jennie's dead body would be found
somewhere in the woods. As to the locality,
I soon found broken twigs -_a bit of dress on
a bush—heavy footprints in the rich soil,
and other plain evidences of her being drag-
ged or carried along through the under-
growth to a point twenty rods from the path.
There, in an open apace not more than twen-
ty feet square, with a thicket on three sides
I found the body. Decomposition had set
in, of course, and the odor greeted my nost-
rils before my eyes made the discovery.
That a murder had been committed there
could be no doubt. The girl lay on her
hack, her feet drawn up, her clothing
badly torn arid in disorder, and while one
hand clinched a stout stick, the other had
a dying clutch on a coat button—just a
match for those left on Will Grafton's coat.
She had been choked to death, and was is
horrible sight, her eyes stood wide open,
her tongue out, and is look of agony on her
bloated face, I examined the fluger nails
and found blood and flesh under them, left
there as she clawed the helf-idiot's face and
hand. On the ground was is tobacco -box,
which he afterwards identified and boldly
claimed. A murder had been committed,
and I had discovered the murderer ; but I
was not as enthusiastic over it ea you may
have imagined. He Wa.s the son of a mil-
lonaire, and the father would iipend his twit
dollar to save him. Riches eontrol public

After en examinalital besting a quarter of

It Was 4 Matter of two hours Were the offi-
Kier allei his jury arrived, and all had not yet
viewed the body when Mr, Graft= mid two
or three others arrived in an milted state
of mind and announced that Fritz, the
coseihman, had been captured, and laid par.
tielly confessed to the deed. Tide news was,
as you may imagine, a aback to ma had
not, in the first pitkos, 'maid that the „edSsh
Mall was euspeeted, although he had gon
off so hurriedly. Mr. Grefton had ubterl
refused to poiut the finger of suapicion tha
way during our talk in the morning, but ha
held to the theory thet the girl bad ruo of
with some giddy companions to lend a les
respectable oareer. His stateineut that Frit
was probably guilty BO upset me that I hep
my proofs in my pocket awl gave the jur
no hint. The iuqueet was adjourned uuti
evening, and was than reeumed at the house
while Fritz was present in charge of an Oh
cer, He had been arrested at a tom,. thirty
miles away, mid attention had been first
called to him by his aAtempt to commit sui-
cide by drowning. 'When charged with the
murder he did not deny it. When preseed
to make a confession he uttered a groan of
deapair and replied ;
"Maybe dtd, for I have been crazy for
four or five days, Let ine go and kill my-
self.,"
When searched a few shillings in money
and a pocket-knife and other articles were
found on his person. He was free of wounds
or bruises of any sort, and no buttons were
missing from his garments. Before he was
celled to face the Jury I began to grope for
the canoe of his flight, It eould not be for
the murder of the girl, for he was innocent.
It must be on a,ocount of information receiv-
ed in that foreign letter. I went at once to
his room in the barn, which no one had yet
examined, and there I found the envelope
intact, but the letter torn into twenty frag-
ments and flung on the floor. I gathered
un the pieces and pasted them together, and
then had the clew to his actions. It was. a
letter from his mother in Germany, and it
contained two pieces of important news.
First, the mother, who was a widow, had
been robbed of her every dollar by investing
in some wildcat speculation on the advice of
friends, and, secondly, the girl whom Fritz
expected to return home and marry in a
year had been wedded to another.
Fritz was made half crazy by the news,
and his sole desire seemed to be to get out
of the neighborhood as fast as possible.
The coroner, Mr. Grafton, and myself held
an interview with him in private. The
coroner was an ignoramus, and he was only
too glad to surrender his official privileges
to Grafton, who eagerly accepted them.
It was plain from the start that he meant to
catch poor Fritz in the toils.
"How could you do such a horrible
thing ?" he asked, as we were ready to pro-
ceed. "Tell us all about it."
Fritz began weeping.
"Did you kill Jennie because she refused
to marry you? Yes, that was the reason.
You lay in wait for her in the woods."
Fritz kept up a sobbing and moaning.
" I am sorry for you, and will do all I can
for you, but the law must take its course.
Perhaps the jury will say that you were
crazy, and that you should not be punished.
1 hope it will, for you are a good man, and I
don't believe you knew what you were do-
ing. Well, coroner, have you any doubts
of the prisoner's guilt ?"
" None, sir."
"And you, Mr.—?"
"1 have very serious doubts," I replied.
"What 1 Haven't you been listening to
the examination ?"
"But he has admitted nothing."
"His actions bespeak his guilt as plain as
day, and we shall now take him before the
jury and press him until he admits the
murder."
Before Fritz was taken into the room
where the jury was sitting and many specta-
tors were assembled, Grafton was permitted
to interview him in private for half an hour.
When questioned before the jury he said:
a case of " mysterious disappearance,
"1 may be the one. I had a great trolible
eem- n eon me, and I don't know what I did,
or w here I went. If it was me I am sorry.
On the strength of this the coroner's pry
rendered a verdict that the girl Jennie came
to her death at the hands of Fritz, and he
was taken off to jail and a warrant swcm
out. I felt certain that Will Grafton had
killed the girl, and I expected to exhibit my
proofs before the jury, but when I saw Graf-
ton take the matter into his hands I realized
that he suspected and was prepared to de-
feat me. The son Will was present during
all the proceedings, and he wore the identi-
cal coat from which the button had been
torn. Two of the servants informed me
that he had worn the garment right along
every day for six months. When I saw
that the verdict of the coroner's jury was a
foregone conclusion, and that Fritz would
be held, I determined to hold my hand until t
a proper time. In my report of the case to
my superior I simply mentioned that Fritz
had confessed and been placed under arrest.
On the second day after Fritz had been
ent to rail Grafton secured a.n interview
ith him on the excuse of providing him
vvith a lawyer. In that interview he secured
he following written confession:
"I am now quite sure that I killed the girl.

y head, and I remember meeting Jennie in t
he woods and thinking she was to bla,me 0
or all ray troubles. I don't want to live
nd I shall plead guilty and ask them to Jr,
ang me."
Three days later, when I ,guessed that the
ri n ' d d. vanished, t q
hat the thought of the gallows would nerve §

YOUNG FOLKS.
RAILROAD BUILDING.
"Come, boys," said Will to the others,
" I an tired of iis humdrum play. "Let's
get up something new and big."
Agreed," came from the others ; " but
what shall it be, Will ?"
"A railroad," was the prompt reply.
And they all shouted, "A railroad 1 hur-
rah, boys 1 that's just grand. We'll do it.
But who knows how 1"
"I do," came from Will. "Father's an
engineer, and you seeI hear him talk to
mother about it every day."
"Your father an engineer 1" exclaimed
several. "Don't Mike Riney and Tim Sul -
liven run all the engines 1"
And Will answered with a loud "Ha, his,
ha 1 Run engines 1 ha, ha, ha 1" and hie
sides shook with laughter. "Compare my
father to Mike and Tim 1 MI father builds
railroads."
And they all said "Oh 1" "But what's
the first thing, Will, to build a road? A
specie and hoe, or what ?"
" Money ; ten hundred thousand dollars,
and just as much more as you can get.
Father says you can do anything with
money; but all the money in the world
couldn't have saved little sister Rose from
dying." At that a large tear came to Will's
eye and the boys all looked at him in
silence.
Then he wiped his eyes and went on—
" Come, boys, say how much you'll give to
the new railroad."
Thereupon Will smoothed off a spot in
the sand and wrote his name, and opposite
he put, "The right of way and no charge
for engineering."
"And what's the right of way 2'," they
asked.
"You can't build roads in the air. You
must have ground, and when you get it,
you've The right of way.' See? I'll get
that from father, down in the orchard, along
the trout brook."
" Good for you, Will," they all shouted.
"Here, Rob, you sign for the ties; Alec,
for the rails, and Jim for the rolling stock ;
Dan must build the depot. Come up, now,
and sign like men of enterprise. Be liberal
and prompt, and we'll have the cars run-
ning by the first of June, and declare a div-
idend—of fun at least—every day."
All this speech from Will. And eaoh one
wrote his name under Will's, saying what
he would give or do.
Then came the word of command from
out young engineer:
"Now to business. Each one to his
home as fast as his legs will carry him, and
bring an are or spade or hoe or some tool.
I'll run to father for the charter—what's
that? Then let's make the dirt fly."
When I went by a few days after, by the
foot ot the orchard, sure enough, there they
were; coats off, sea& one as busy as a bee,
Will acting as engineer.
The grading—what's that ?—was nearly
all done. Will said they would lay the
ties—what are they 2— and rails (?) the next
Monday, and soon Iathould hear the whistle.
True to his promise, on the appointed day
came the "toot, toot, toot," louder and
lender till the hills sent back the sound.
I looked, and there came the train, built
of wood "from stem to stern," and drawn
by two stout goats, instead of steam, while •
Jim sat on the engine with a tin horn to his
mouth, his cheeks puffed out like two
pumpkins.
That's years ago. Will is now Mr. Wil-
liam a first class railroad man. So
are some of the others.
But when I eee them building those fine
roads, I wonder if they will ever travel on
"The King's Highway of Holiness." Have
you a ticket to go up in His chariot one of
hese days and enter the City of God?
Boy Wanted.
No doubt, some of you boys will want a
place, by and by, anal think I can help you
to get it, by giving you a few hints as to the
necessary qualifications: (1) Be willing to
work; to be perfectly sure of that, you may
try it a little every day at home. (2) Learn !
to be polite; how would it do to drill up on
hat with your father and mother, or sister,
r school -teacher? (3) Look out sharp when 1
ou are in school for the "R's." If you can- 1
ot write a plain hand, you never will be pro- 1
oted to be a book-keeper, and if you are not
nick in arithmetic, you will never make al
ood clerk—or proprieter. (4) Be sure and
ave the habit of attending church and Sab-
ath -school; that is the kind of boys mer -
halite always want, even if they donot go '

The brave Englishman jumped up from

said : "Where is the letter ?"
I gave it to him, he put it in his knap-

In less than a quarter of an hour I heard
the sound of horse's hoofs on the street, and
there he was with a servant, riding due

also had the desired effect.

and reached me a visiting card. I took it
and read : "Mr. Roger Casement," with
the words written in pencil, "1 gave Pal-

A month or two ago a serious disturbance
took place in St. Petersburg. On the anni-
versary of the death of a noted song -writer
and patriot, Bogolinboff, some five hundred
students of the university gathered, to place
wreaths on his grave, and to hear orations
in his praise.
The authorities, however, locked and
guarded the cemetery gates, and would not
allow the students to enter it. The young
men became so excited and rebellious that
the Cossacks were sent far, and the mob of
men was dispersed.
It was a striking feature of this affiur that
among the students were over a hundred
young women, who belonged to the medical
classes of the university. On the following
day these young women were deprived of
their passports, so that they could not leave
the capital, and eighteen of their ringleaders
were arrested and imprisoned. They will
be tried, and probably expelled from their
classes. In former days they would have
been exiled to Siberia.
The real purpose of this demonstration
was a political one. Professing to do honor
to a dead patriot, they intended to show
their hostility to the Czar's rule; and many
of them, perhaps all, belonged to the great
Nihilist conspiracy.
During the whole course of this conspi-
racy, it has been notable for the large num-
ber of young women, of every social rank,
who have become members of it. In almost
every instance in which a Nihilist crime has
been committed, or is Nihilist plot has been
detected, young women have been found
among the culprits.
Sonic years ago, a girl, named Vera Sasso.- I
liteh, shot General Tropoff, tho chief of the
St. Petersburg police. She declared, on
being arrested, that she belonged to the
Nihnieth, and was reeolved to aid in ridding
Russia of her tyrants. Strangely enough
she was acquitted, but was toned to fly
from Russia immediately after her release.
When, five years ago, the assassins of the
Czar Alexander IL were eiiptured, it was
found that one of them, Sophie Perovskaya,
was a girl of good family and education.
She was tortured in order to compel her to
betray her confederates ; and was then exe-
cuted for the part she had taken in the
crime.
