At the time of which I am writing 1 was living in seclusion in a small town about 35 miles north of London. 1 was engaged iu rather a large literary undertaking—in fact, I was writing novel. So engrossed was 1 with my task that I had no time to read even the newspaper and was quite ignorant of what was going on in the world. It was a little after 8 o'clock one evening in April that I finished the second vol: ume of my work. 1 put on my hat and coat and started off for an even- ing stroll I had no sooner stepped into the street than a boy accosted me with a bundle of papers his arm and the request, "Buy an evening paper, sir?” I bought put it my pocket and resumed my walk. After my return I opened my paper leisurely—nay, lazily. Presently my eye caught the following paragraph heading. “Impending Execution of the Clinford Murderer.” There is a morbid fascination most people in an execution, yielding to the feeling, read the paragraph: “The murderer of the James Renfrew will hanged to morrow morning at 8 o'clock. The wretched man, whose name-—Charles Fenthurst—is now in everybody's mouth, still pe in his plea of in nocence.” Here [ became The name far to me. I had formed a deep friend ship for a man of that name. He was a good 10 years senior and had died about two years previously I knew he had a son named Charles, a young fellow who had emigrated to South Africa early in life and who was generally supposed to be working at the diamond mines. Could this be the same man? [ read on. “It will be remembered that at the rial the stronges circumstantial evi cs was brought to benr upon Fent hurst. The murder took place in a house on the outskirts of the small town of Clinfold., It was proved that Fenthurst was in the habit. of fro quenting Renfrew’s premises, and that apparently be was expected on the evening in question. He was seen tear the place soon after the crime was committed, and other proofs of a strongly condemmnatory character were also laid against him. He has persisted from the first, how ever, in maintaining that he was ab gent from Clinfold at the very time the murder took place. This was about seven o'clock in the evening. At that hour, he says, he was returning from London, where he had heen spending part of the day.
