Laing )1! q.:
Demi. out; Last night I received your
cable from Pittsburg, and sent you a
message in reply, accepting the commis-
sion with which you have been pleased
to trust use. This morning I called upon
Messrs Morgan & Oo. bankers, Thread
needle streets and learnedfr'om them that
they were prepared to,advauoe meVD,:
000 of which you advised me. I drew
upon them for that amount,and received
from them anotification that they would
hutior my further draft's upon dem til•'
.moment they were drawn. leaked them
whether, in the event of Day desiring :o
. draw, say 46,000, I was at liberty to
do so. They said yea, for even a larger
amount if f 'required it. I did not ex-
plain to them the reason of my askiuk
the question, but I will do so to you. It
has happened, in difficult oasts, that in-
formation has had to be purchased, itnd
that a bribe more or less tempting bas
had to bo held out to some person or
peI';sons to unlock their tongues. I have
no reason to sups that anything of
the sort wilt be necessary in this case,
but I wish 'to feel myself pet fuctly free in
.,the matter. 1 am satisfied with your
brankers' replies, and I shall spare
neither money nor exertion in the en-
deavor to unravel the .mystery which
surrounds the death of Mrs Edwaid
Layton. .
` It is Scarcely possible you can be
aware of it, but it is neverthelt si a fact
that, apart from my professional poi
tion in. this matter, I take in it an in-
terest which is purely persoual, and that
my sympathies are in unison with your
own. Wore it not that I have had some
knowledge of Mr Layton, and thatI es-
teem himand 'were it not that I firmly
believe in,his innocence,I should perhaps
have hesitated to engage myself is his
case, and you will excuse my saying
that your liberal views Open the subject
of funds might have failed to impress
me. It is, therefore a matter of con•
gratulation that 1 enlist myself on Mr
Layton's side as much upon personal as
professional:grounds. The time has been
too short' for anything yet to be done,but
it will be a satisfaction to you to learn
that I have a slight clew to work upon.
It is very slight, very frail, but it may
lead to something important, Your de-
sire- for a full aid complete recital of my
• movements shall ho complied with, and
I propose, to this end,...and_for-thAspurs
pose of coherence and explicitness, to
foward the particulars to you from time
to time, not in the form of letters, but
in nr'ri-ativo shape. This mode of giving
you information will keep me more strict-
ly to the subject matte', and will bo the
.moans of avoiding digression. After the
receipt, therefore of this letter, what I
have to say will go forth under number-
ed headings, not in ,my own wilting but
in that of a short hand reporter,wlhom I
shall specially employ. I could not my-
self undertake such a detailed and cis-
-capstan -6d account as I andoratand is
your desire to obtain. Besides it will
save time, which may be of great value
in the elucidation of this mystery.
•' .Lam, dear sir, faithfully yours,
' HORACE BAINBRIDLIE,'
I.
What struck me particularly in your
cable weasvge Was that portion of it in
which you made reference to a Mr Jaynes
Rutland. It happens,singularly enough,
that this Mr dames Rutland was on the
jury, and that ho was the one juryman
who held out in Mr Layton's favor, and
through whoseunconquerabledetermina-
tion not tar being him in guilty has
arisen the necessity for a new trial.
Eleven of the jury were for a•conviction,
one only for an acquittal --this one Mr
Rutland„
• .O
Yea,' Ile said, `eithuugh I have noth- win biro over to their ,convictions, though I may appear to you careless 1
trig to tell. To any but a gentleman of ' Can I urge nothing,' I said, t to in- and indifferent, you know well enough 1
position I should refuse to enter into duce you to speak freely to use ?
conversation upon this lamentable falai.'; ' Nothing,' be replied.
and indeed it w 11 be useless for us to
Novelise upon it, As 1 have -already
said, I have nothing to tell yon.'
This iteration of having uotbing to
say and nothing to toll utas to me suspi-
cious, not so much from the words in
which the determination was conveyed
as from the tone in which they were
spoken. It was flurried, anxious, un
easy ; a plain indication that Mr Jame.
Rutland could say something if he
those.
'Speaking in confidence,' staid, taking
po outward notice of his evident relnc
Mince to assist me, ' I think I am right
in my conjecture that you believe in Mr
I.aytotl's innocence.'
I decline to say anything upon the
matter,' was his rejoinder to this re-
mark.
'
We live in an age of publicity,' I ob-
served, without irritation ; ' kis diffi-
cult to keep even one's private airs to
one's self: What used to be bidden front
public gaze and knowledge is now ex-
posed and freely discussed by strangers.
You are doubtless aware that it ie
known that there were eleven of the
jury who pronounced lVfr Layton guilty,
and only one who pronounced him in-
nocent.'
' I was not,' he said, ' and I am not
aware that it is known,'
It is nevertheless a fact,' I said, 'and
it is also known. that you, Mr Rutland,
are the juryman who held out in Mr
Layton's favor.'
'These things should not be revealed,'
he muttered. -
' Perhaps not,' I said, ' but we must
go with the age in which we live. Mr
Layton's case is exciting the greatest
interest. The singular methods he
adopted during so ntotnentous a crisis in
his life, nd the unusual termination of
the judicial inquiry,' have intensified
that interest, and have,not the slightest
doubt that there will be a great deal said
andatvritten uponthe subject.'
' Which should not be said and writ-
ten,' muttered Mr Rutland.
`Neither have I the slightest doubt,'
I continued," that your narne will be
freely used, and your motives for not
waiving your opinion when eleven men
were against you freely discussed. We
aro speaking here, if you will allow me
to say so, as friends of the unfortunate
than, and I have no hesitation in declar-
ing to you that I myself believe in his
innocence.'
He interrupted me. _
' Then, if you. had been on tho jury,
you would not have yielded to the
opinions of eleven, or of.1,100 men.'
---• Ie spi3ire eagof9y, aiid--T saw that it triol commenced.'
would be a satisfaction to him to obtain 'Yes, that is the usual course, I be -
support in his'view of the case. '
I am not so sure,' I said; our pri-
vate opinion of a man when he is placed
before his country charged with a crime
has nothing whatever to do with the
evidence brought against him. Let us
stippos'e, tor instance that you have been
at some time or other, -under more for-
tunellcircuwstances,"acquainted with Mr
Layton.' -
' Who asserts that?' he cried, much
disturbed,.-- _._ _
' No person that 1 am aware of,' I re-
plied, ` lam merely putting a case,and
I will prove to you presently tbat I have
a reason for doing so. Say, I repeat,
that under more fortunate eircumstances
you were acquainted with Mr Layton,
and that you had grown to esteem 'him.
What has that purely personal view to
do with your functions as a jurywan7'
I spent another quarter of an hour
endeavoring to prevail upon him, but ►u
the resutt I loft his house ne wiser than
1 ha I entered it, except that I was con -
winced be knew something which he was
doggedly concealing from me. I did
not think it was anything of very .great
importance, but it might at least be a
-few that I could work -upon, and I wits
bath disc. curage d and annoyed by his dc-
•erutined attitude.
On the following morning, having
paved the way to further access to Mr
Ed•watd Layton, I visited the unhappy
than in his prison. He was unaffectedly
glad to see me, and he tock the oppor-
tunity of expressing his cordial thanks
for the friendliness I had evinced toward
"` '" `I3' asary to bo on my
him, -r .-e_� �i'�r,
guard with him,and I did not,tlhna eat ly,
make any endeavor to prevail, upon him
• to accept me as his counsel in the new
trial which awaited him. Tbero were
one or two points upon which I wished
to assure myself,and I approached them
gradually and cautiously.
Ate you aware,' I said, ' of the ex-
tent of tho disagreement among the
lury?'
'Well,' he replied, 'we bear something
even within those stone walls. I am
told that eleven were against me and one
for me.'
' Yes,' I said, ' that is so.'
' A bad lookout- for me when I am
'tried again, Mr Bainbridge,' he said, ' it
is very kind of you to visit me here,and
1 think you do s with friendly intent.'
' Indeed,' I said, ' it is with friendly
intent,'
Is it of any rise,' he then said, ' for
me to declare to you that I am innocent
of the horrible charge brought against
rile r
' I don't know,' I said, ' whether it is
any use or not, because of'the stand yon
have taken and seethed determined to
take.'
' Yes,' he said, ' upon my next trial I
Ault defend tiryself,as I did on my last.
I will accept°no legal assistance what-
ever. Still, as a matter of interest and
curiosity—looking upon myself as if I
were somebody else—toll me frankly
your .own O.I hlni.0'J•.'
'-Frankly and honestly,' replied, ' I
be:ieve you to be an innocent man.'
' Thank yon,' he said, and I saw the
tears rising in his eyes.
' Do you h .ppen,' I said presently, 'to
kuow the name of juryman who was in
your favor ?'
'No,' he replied, 'I am quite ignorant
of the names of 'the jurymen.'
'But thay_were-called- out before the
it is impossible that I can be so; you
know that I must, be tearing my heart
out in the terrible position in which I I
have been forced by ruthless circum-
stance. Make no mistake; I am wy-
self greatly to blame for what has oc-
curred. It has been forced upon me by
my sense of honor, and right and t►uth.
Why, life once spread itself before me
with a prospect so glad, so beautiful,
that it almost awed me. But, after all,
ifa pian bears within him the assurance
that ho is doing what he is in honor
hound to do, surely that will be some-
thing. There, you see what you have
forced from tee. Yes, I did look eagerly
forward when I heard the jury could not
agree. At least there was one pian
who believed me to be innocent, and
without the slightest knowledge of him
I blessed1him for the belief.'
He gazed around with the air of a
man who was fearful that every move
went of his was watched and observed
• by enemies, and then he said, in a low
tune: -
'I need a friend.'
I replied instantly, following the tone
that he had used :
'I am here; I will be your friend.
TO BE CONTINUED.
The first thing to ascertain was his
address, which you could not give me.
However, we have engines at our (land
whereby such small matters, aro easily
arrived at, and on the evening cif the
day after the arrival of your cable mes•
sago 1 was put in possession of the fact
that Mr Rutland lives in Wimpole St.
h drove there immediately and sent up
my card.
'I have called upon you,ATr Rutland,'
f said, with respect to Mr Edward Lay -
ton's case, in tho hope that you may be
able to give me some information by
which he may be Ilenchtted.'
Rutland is a gentleman of about
60 years of age. Ifo has a benevolent
face, and t judged him, and .' think
,judged him Correctly, to, be a man of a
kindly nature. Looking upon him,there
was no indication in hie appearance of a
dogged disposition, and T lost sight for a
tnotnent of the invincible tenacity with
which he had adhered to his opinion
wheu he was engaged upon the trial
with his fellow jurymen. IIowover, his
conduct during this interview brought it
to my mind.
It is a thousand pities,' be said in
'esponsc to my opening words, 'that Mr
Layton refused to accept professional as•
sistance and advice. • I was not the only
one upon the jury tho failed to under-
stand bis reason for so doing."
' It is indeed,' 1 of stt'ved, ' inexplic-
able, and .lam m hopes that you may be
Ale to throw seine light upon it. i
lave come to you for assistance.'
can give yon no information.' wi s
his reply r ` 1 cannot ata rt 1011,'
'1111y 1 111(1 1< to ; on in conlitk'nce,' 1
asked.
' Mr Bainbridge,' be said, ' I do not
wi'Jh to be discourteous, but I cannot
continue this conversation.'
Nay,' 1 urged, ' a gentleman's life
and honor are at stake, and I am en-
deavoring to befriend him. I am not
the only ono who is deeply interested
in him.. There are others thousand of
miles away across the seas, who are de-
sirous and anxious to make a sacrifice,
if by that sacrifice they can clear the
honor or a friend. See, Mr Rutland, I
will place implicit confidence in you.
Last night I received a cable from
America, from Mr Archibald
Mr Archibald Laing he cried,takbn
by surprise, 'Why he and Mr Layton
were'—
But he suddenly stopped, as thotah
fearful of comnlitting'himself.
Were once friends,' I said finishing
'ho sentence for him, and I was certain,
finishing it aright. ' Yes, I should cer-
tainly Say so. Read the cable I received.'
•And I handed it to bite.
At first he seemed as if he were dis-
inclined, but he could not master his
curiosity, and after a slight hesitation
he read the message ; but he handed it
back to me without remark.
' Mr ArchiJatd Laing,' I said, ' as I
dare say you have heard or read, is one
of fortune's favorites. He left this coun-
try three or four years ago, and settled
in America where, I believe he has
taken out letters of naturalization --and
plunged into speculation which has made
him a millionaire. Noifurthor evidence
than his cable memo se is needed to prove
that he is a man o€vast means. Why
does be ask me to apply to you for"in-
forination concerning Mr Layton which
I may probably turn to that nnhdppy
gentleman's advantage 1'
' T was' but slightly acquainted with
Mr Laing,' said Mr Rutland. ' He and
I were Ile Vet friends. I repeat Duce
more that I have nothing to tell you.'
I recognized then that I was in the
presence of It man who, whether rightly
Or wrongly, was not to bo moved from
tiny nit thick he had nt'tiveil,
and I understand thoroughly the initres•

Neve, but did not .hear their names.
Indeed, I paid no heed , to them. Of
what interest would they have be n to
mo,? Twelve strangers were twelve
strangers; ono was no different from the
other.' • -
'They were all strangers to you ?' 1
asked, assuming a purposed carelessness
of tone. •
'Yes, every one of them.'
'And you to there.'
`I suppose so: How Mould— it-"Inve•'
been otherwise?'
'But when they finally cause back in-
to court, and the foreman of the jury
stated that they could not agree, you
seemed surprised.' r--- --
'Wete you watohtng me? he asked,
suspiciously. •
'Do you not think it natural,':I said,
in reply, 'that every person's ,eyes at
that moment should be fixed upon you ?'
'Of course,' he said recovering him•
Belt—'quite natural. I should have
doue the same myself had I been in a
better place than the dock. Well, I
was surprised; I fully anticipated a ver-
dict of guilty." -
`And,' I continued, 'although you
may not remember it, you leaned for-
ward and gazed at the jury with an ap-
pearance of eagerness.'
'I remember that I did so,' he said;
'it was an impulsive wovement on nay
part.'
Did you reeognizo any among them
whose face was fatniliar to you ?'
'No; to tell you the truth I could not
distinguish their faces, I ant so shoi t
sighted.' '
'But you "had your glasses hanging
around your neck. Why did yon not
use theni ?'
It amazed nae to hear him laugh at
this question. It was a gentle, kindly
laugh, but none the less was I astonish-
ed at it.
'You lawyers are so sharp,' he said,
'that you can scarcely hide anything
from you. Be careful what questions
you ask me, or I shall bo compelled'—
and byre his voice grew sad—'to bog of
you not to corse again.'
I held myself well within control, al-
though his admonition startled me, for
I had it in my mind to ask bim some-
thing concerning the surprise ho had
evinced when filo nine of hearts was
produced from the pocket of his ulster;
and I had it also in my mind to
ask hire whether he was acquainted,
either direotly or indirectlyofith Mr.
James Rutland. His caution made me
cautious; his wahines,node me wary; I
seemed to be pitted' against him in n
friendly contester which I was engaged
in his interest., and be was engaged
against them,
`I will be careful' f said: 'yon must
not close voce clod- against me, although
it is, unhappily, a prison doer. I am
hero truly ns 8 sympathizing friend.
Look upon 'no in that light, enil not in
the, light art profes,siontli elan.'
