'He asked no questions,' said the law- yer, somewhat irritably, 'concerning a hundred matter, upon which the wit- nesses should have been hardly pressed. • Can you not see that this accentuates my conviction that the nine of hearts is a link in the chain.' • 'Yes, supposing you had not already arrived at a false conclusion with respect to poor Layton's knowledge of the pos- session of the card.' 'I will stake my 'life and reputation,' "'said the lawyer, earnestly,'upon the cor- rectness of my statement. I will stake my life and reputation that until that moment, Edward Layton did not know that the card Was in' his pocket.' ' .,..,...,body must have placed it there.' 'As you say, somebody must have placed it there.' 'But jn the name of all that is reason- able,' exclaimed,,•Dr. 'Daincourt, 'what possibleconnectioncanyou trace between a playing pard, whether it be the ace of clubs or tho king.of spades, or tbe nine of brartd—it clatters not which—what possible connecticia can you find between any playing card and the •awful charge brought against Layton:' 'That,' said the lawyer,drumming up- tin'the tabl©,'thatis what I have not dis- eovered. You do not know, doctor,upon ~+Ghat alight threads the niost important issues lies. • •I think I do,' ,said Dr. Daineourt, $:tiling. • 'J( do not-iofe.r to the general issues of , humanlife,' said the lawyer, in explana- tion, 'I refer to legal matters, especially to criminal cases the solution of which rets upon circumstantial evidence. Cir- cutos arioes t'te••niost remote, and appf r- tintly•absolutely worthless and tiivial, have been woven tibY ale legal mind into f oa strand' strong and firm enough to drag a prisoner out of the very jaws of death.' 'And this nine of hearts is one of those threads,' said ..Dr. Daincourt, in a tone of inquiry. 'Very likely,. You !nay depend I shall hilt lose sight of it.' 'You spoke of two links, - and you have shown me that which you believe to' be a tangible one. IWhat is the link • that you say is -shadowy and less de- pendable.' '1 will explain, The jury were dis- °hatged,being unable tolagr.e up( n their dict. It may -leak -ott-t-thi•ou;h-tib*-- press ay and by—pretty much every• thing does leak out through the press nowadays,'• but it is not known at pres-, ent to the public how many of the jury were for pronouncing the prisoner Buil- ty and how many for pronouncing him innocent.' '1 have heard tumors,'. said Dr Dain.. e,0urt,, 'I have .positive information. Eleven of them declared him guilty, only ono held out that ho was innocent.. Argu- ments, persuasions, logical inference and • ---iledactions; rhorecapitulxtion-of-the-evi= dence against him --all were of no avail in this ono juryman's eyes. He would not be convinced, he. would not yield. He bad made up his mind that the ph- one' was innocent,.and that ho, at least Would not bo instrutmental in sending him away a felon.' 'I can 800 nothing in that,' said Dr Daincourt. • 'There are,' continued the lawyer, 'in eivil and criminal records, instances ofa like nature, sonic of which have been privat.sly sifted, with strange results,af- ter the cases have been finally settled. I recollect one case which may bear up- on this of Laytou's. I do not say it does but it may. It occurred many years ago, and the jury was locked up a bar- barous length, of, time to come to an agreement: There was no possible doubt, circumstantially, of the prisoner's guilt ; the evidonco was conclusive enough to convict twenty men. One person, however, would not give in, and that person was on the jury. The pris- on ' was tried again and unhesitatingly acquitted. - During the limo that had elapsed between the first and second ttiuls additional evidence was found, which provotl the prisoner innocent.— you may incur. Tho sum of °«10,000 is The jutyman who held out on the first independent of the x125,000 mentioned trial happened to hayo been some years !above, and of course you own profession - before a friond of the prisoner, a fact, of course, which was not known when the jury was. empanelled. Aftea the result of the second trial he publicly declared that lie had been guided by bis feeling and not by his evidence, 'And'you thinly that something of the sort may have -happened in this case.' 'lf you,,had• boon on the jury what would have been the• verdict. 'Guilty.' -• 'Had I been on the jury, what would have bosh my verdict. Despite my firm conviction that Layton is an innocent man, I should have brought him in guil- ty.. It was notmy opinion I had to be guided by, it was the evidence ; and the evidence in Layton's case, as it was pre- sented to the court and appears in the papers,' indisputably proclaims him to be a guilty man. Again, when the verdict was pesnottnced 1. watched his face,again I saw there a startled look of wonder and nmazonront; to his own mind the evidence against him was conclusive. Then it wns.Hrnt 1 observed him for the first time gaze. upon 'the jury with'some kind of interest and attention. Not once during, the trial had he looked at them in ally buts* casual Nay, and I should not be surprised to learn that be was ignorant of their names. This is most 'unusual. Ordinarily a prisoner pays great attention to the jury on whose verdict his fate hangs. He gazes upon them with the deepest anxiety, he notes every change., in their countenances, is despondent when he believes it to be against him, is hopeful when he believes it to be in favor of him. Not so with Layton. • When the jury were empan- elled, and their names called over, bo paid not tb slightest attention to them; he did not' turn his eyes towards them; he might have been both deaf and blind for all the interest he evinced, 'Perhaps you were not aware' said the doctor, 'that he is very short sighted and that without his glasses it would have been impossible for him to distin- gnish their features.' 'I am quite aware of it,' said the law- yer, 'but he had his glasses hanging round his neck, and it is remarkable that not once during the trial did he put thein. to his eyes. I have here,' said the lawyer tapping his pocketbook, 'a list of the names, social standing, and businesses and professions of the jury- men engaged on this Layton mystery. As regards only one of them is my in- formation incomplete. I know their ages, whether they have families, eto. I know something more—I know the name of the one .may who would not subscribe to the verdict of guilty which the other eleven, almost without leaving the box, wereready to, pronouuce. Cur- iously enough, this dissentient is the person respecting whom I have not et cotnplete particulars. I am acquainted' with his name, but have not been sup- plied with his address, I shall, however obtain it easily, if I require it. - 'What is bis name,' asked Dr. Dain - coo rt. 'James Rutland.' At this moment there was a knock at the door ; and a man servant made his appearance. 'A telegraph lad,sir,'said the servant, 'bas brought this message and is waiting to know whether it is correct and whe- ther there is any answer. He says he as been rooms in the temple o in your and was directed on here to your private address, the instructions being that the message was to ba delivered immediate- ly, either at your professional or private residence.' Mr Bainbridge opened his telegram and read it. It was unusually lengthy, and from tie expression of his face seem- ed -to cause him surprise. 'Let the lad wait in the hall,' he said to his servant, ' and you come up when I ring.' 'Very well, sir,' said the servant, and he left the room' closed the door softly -bet ud-him 'I have been taking a leaf out of your book,' said Dr Daincourt. 'You seem to learn so much from observing tbe.faces of people that' have been rude enough to• watch your face while you were perusing the telegram.'. '\V -hat have you learned,' asked the lawyer, • 'Nothing,' replied the doctor, 'except that it appears almost as long as a letter, and that it has caused you sur' - p 1 ise.? 'It has' caused mo something more tlititi that•—it has -absolutely -startled- me.' 'You must forgive sty rudeness. I spoke lightly, not seriously. If you have anything particular to attend to, don't mind me ; I will go.' `No,' said the lawyer, 'I Wast .:you,- think ou, think you will be as startled as I am myself. 'Tis is a cable message from Pittsburg, America, and as you judged it is more like a letter than a telegram. See it covers three sides of a paper, I will read it to yon : 'From Archibald Laing, Box 1246, P 0., Pittsburg, U .5., to Mr Bainbridge, Q.. C., London. 'Reports of the result of Edward Layton's trial for the murder of bis wife have been cabled hero and publish. ecl in the papers. There will, of course, be a new trial.

Messrs. Morgan & Co,, are empowered to advance to you ati`y sutras that may be necessary for your investments, 'Set every ewgine afoot to obtain tbe acquit- tal of Edward Layton ; spare no ex- pense.

Do you knew any- Before I killed her I removed the bot- tle, the glass and the decanter from the table by the bedside. I wished it to be understood that she herself, in a fit of delirium, caused her own death. This theory would be utterly destroyed if I allowed the glass from which the poison was taken to be found at some distance from her bedside. Very carofully,there- fore, I place not only that, but decanter which contains the water, and the bot- tle which contains the lozenges, within reach of her living hand. To omit that precaution would be suicidal, and,to my mind, absolutely untenable in rational thing•.of him. 'Not persoaly,' rel.lied the lawyer; 'only from report and hearsay. He is an Englishman, and must be an amaz- ingly shrewd fellow; andithat he is in earnest is partly proved by this cable,in which no words are spared to make his meaning clear. While he wits speaking to bis friend, the lawyer was busily engaged writing upon a blank telegram form, which was enclosed in the envelopedeli••ered by the messenger. 'What will you do inthe matter l asked the doctor. action tinder the circumstances. Do 'Here is my reply,' anal he read -it you -see, now, why the circumstance of aloud:— the glass being found on the mase 1, 'From b'[r Bainbridge, Q. C., Barley street, London, to Archibald Laing, Box 1236, P.O. Pittsburg, U. S. 'Your cable received.' I undertake the commission, and will use every ef- fort to establish Layton's innocence, in which I firmly believe. There is a my- stery in the matter, and I will do my best to get at the heart of it. I will write as you desire.' He touched the bell and the servant appeared. `Give this to the lad,' he said, 'and pay his cab fare to the telegraph of- fice in order that there shall be no de- lay.' When the- servant had departed, the lawyer rose from the chair and paced the room slowly in deep, thought, and it was d rring the intervals in his retleetion that the conversation between -him and the doctor was carried out. 'Is it not very strange,' said the law- yer, 'that I am advised in this cable message to seek inferior tion from the one juryman who pronounced Layton innocent, and whose address I have not obtained. 'Yes, very strange,' replied the doc- tor"very.' • 'Of course,I shall find him; there will net be the least difficulty in that respect Tell me, doctor. It was proved at the tiiatthatlVlrs-Layton's death was caus- ed by an overdose -of tnorphia, taken in the form of effervescing lozenges. It was established that she was occasional - 16 in the habit of taking one of these lozenges at night to produce sleep, and her maid swore that her mistress never tack mote than one, being aware of the stager -of -an -overdose. Theeusua-1-mode- of administering these noxious opiates is by placing one in the mouth and al- lowing it to dissolve ; but they will dis- solve in water, and the medical evidence proved that at least eight or ten of the poisonous lozenges must have been ad- ministered iu this- way, in one dose, to the unfortunate lady. The glass from ich the liquid was drank was found, o-• by the bed! o t, but on the mantel shelf, which is at some distance from the bed. It is a natural inference ..tithe un- fottunate lady had administered the dose to herself,' that the glass would have been found on the table n•'ar the bed- side. It was not so fouud,and the maid _declares .that _hermistress was too _weak to,get out of bed and return to it unaid- ed. These facts, if they are facts, cir- cumstantially prove that the cause of .death lay•outside the actions of the in- valid herself. The maid,states that when -sbo le€t herwnistress--the•-bottle--contain-. ing about halt' a dozen lozenges was on the table by her mistress'. bedside, and also a glass and a .decanter of water ; 'and that when she visited her mistress between 6 and 7 in the morning there •were no lozenges in the bottle, and the glass from which, they were supposed, to be taken, dissolved in water, was on the `mantel shelf. Now, in my view, this circumstance is in favor of the pris- oner,' `I cannot see that,' observed Dr Dain - court. 'Yetit is very simple. Let us sup- pose,in illostration,thrt I aur this lady's husband. For reasons into which it is not necessary to enter I resolve to make away with my wife by administering to her an overdose of these poisonous nar- cotics, and naturally I resolve that her death shall be -accomplished in such a manner as to avert to sortie reasonable extent suspicion from myself. I go into her bedroom at midnight. lOur relations, as has been proved, aro not of the niost amiable kind. We are not in love with each other, quite the reverse, and have been living from the first day of our marriage an unhappy. life. - _Indeed, my unhappy life in relation to the lady commenced when I was engaged to het. Well, I go into the room at midnight, resolved to bring about her death. She complains that she cannot:sleep, and she asks mo to give her a morphia lozenge from the bottle. I surest that it may more readily produce sheep if, instead of allowing it to dissolve slowly in her mouth she will drink it off at once dis- solved in water. She consents, I take from the table the bottle, the decanter of water and a glass ; I empty secretly into the glass the eight or ten lozenges which the bottle contains, I pour the the water from the decanter, and I tell my wife to drink it off immediately. Sha does so and sinks iri'o slumber, ovorpowed by n sleep from which she will never awake. Perhaps she struggles against the efforts of the terrible dose I have a ..ministered her, but her struggles aro vain. She lies before me in sure approaching death, and both she and 1 have escaped from a life which has been a continual source of' trouble to ns. The deed being accomplished, what do I, the murderer, do. There are no evidences of a struggle ; there has been no cries shelf is a proof of my innocence. -es• 'Yes, I recognize the strength of your theory—unless, indeed, you had in your mind the idea that it would be bteter to throw suspicion upon a third person;say for the sake of argument, ' 'u 6n" the maid,' 'That view, demolishes itself,for what I would naturally do to divert suspicion from myself, .a third person would na- turally do so to avert suspicion from herself.' • 'True, you seize vital points more readily than I. Have you any theory about the stranger who accompanied Layton home from Prevost's restau- rant.' • 'I have a theory upon the point,' re- plied the lawyer, 'which, however, at present iA so vague and unsatisfactory that it would be folly to disclose it.' 'And the nine of hearts, you have not mentioned that lately, have you forgot- ten it.' 'No,' said the lawyer, 'it is my firm opinion that round that nine of hearts the whole mystery revolves.'
