that he • had cold-bloodedly bought the
tools for the purpose of committing

crime Seymour disappeared and there
began a search for him. He was
traced eventually to a room he had
rented, in advance at Brighton. But
on his way there he had stopped at
AylesbuFk and was seen to he work-

on a 'blotting paper in a hotel read-

offered of past convictions but later

said that if only he could have found

The 'Crown theory was that- after
snatching the ten shilling note the
murderer had become frightened and

Much depended tiPon the hour _of
the woman's death. If she was alive
.at 11 o'clock, Seymour could not
have murdered her. There were wit-
nesaes who swore that they, had
seen her after that time. But the

en and when he said so in his 'charge
to the jury he provided the defence
with one of the grounds for ,appeal.

indicated that she had had a meal

the inference being tliat the murder-

"Being myself somewhat of a purls

place oui adverbs where they are
most effective, either in sense,,sound
or rhythm, but not, Oh! please, not,

am disappointed in the examiple you
use to illustrate the' desirability of

-she said, "-dances, parties, expensive
elotheS, a host df acquaintances-ev
erything except the knowledge that
she is being accepted for herself a-
lone.

passage to Marseilles with the money
it fetched. • ,
"I arranged a bridge party for the
day J was due to sail -as a blind.
When my parents found out what had
happened they cabled the ship and
tried to stop me from continuing my
journey. They failed -Poor darlings!
' "I went to Paris and crossed to
London by air -oh, • what a crossing!
It was'terrible.
"The next day I started my hunt
for a job."

• balance -even of bank balance, Her
funds were dwindling; and, in spite

VrellAPII-drop the career!"
