"Perhaps I can put a question or 'two to Mr, Aylmore which will not jitM him offense," he remarked dryly. He turned once more to the witness, retarding him as if with interest. "Can jou tell us of any person now living t-ho knew Marbury in London nt the time under discussion twenty to iwen-u-two or three years ngo?" he asked. Aylmore shook his head angrily. , "Xo. I can't," he replied. "And ct you and he must have had Kreral business acquaintances at that time who 1-new you both?" "Possibly nt that time.

"And at that place?" "Yes " "That is all I want to nsk .you. Mr. Aylmore just now," said the counsel. He turned to the coroner. "I am go to? to ask you. sir, at this point (o call a witness who has volunteered cer- fjtain evidence to the police authorities this morning. That evidence is of a rery important nature, and I think that this is the stage at which it ought to be given to jou and the jury. If you would be pleased to direct that lJavid Lyell be called " Spargo turned instinctively to the door, having been the clerk who had sat behind the treasury counsel make his way.there.

Brilnilo took in by J. b. Fletcher "How far did you walk?" "As far as Waterloo Bridge." "Always on thn Temntn kM7" "Just so, sir straight along on that side." "Very good. When you got close to Waterloo unage, uia you meet any body you knew?" "Yes." "Who?" "Mr. Aylmore, the member of Par liament." Spargo could sot avoid a glance at the two sisters. The cider's head was avorted; tho younger was staringi at the witness Btcadily. And Breton was nervously tapping his Angers on the crown of his shining silk hat. "Mr. Aylmore, the member of Parlia ment," repeated tho counsel's suave, clear tones. "Oh! And how did you come to recognize Mr. Aylmore, mem ber of Parliament?" "Well, sir,, iu this way. At home, I'm the secretary of our Liberal Ward Club, and last year wo had a demon stration, and it fell to mo to arrange with the principal speakers. I got Mr. Aylmore to come and speak, and nat urally I met him several times, in Lon don and in Scotland." "So that you knew him quite well?" "Oh yes, sir." "Do you seo him now, Mr. Lyell?" Lyell smiled and half turned in the box. "Why, of course!" he answered. "There is Mr. Aylmore." "There is Mr. Aylmore. Very good. Now we go on. You met Mr. Aylmore close to Waterloo Bridge? How close?" "Well, sir, to be exact, Mr. Ayl more came down tho steps from the bridge on to the embankment." "Alone?" "No." "Who was with him?" "A man, sir." "Did you know the man?" "No. But freeing who he was with, I took a good look at him. I haven't forgotten his face." "You haven't forgotten his face. Mr. Lyell has nuytking recalled that face to you witnm tins last uay or twor "Yes, sir, indeed!" "What?" "The picture of the mun they sa) was murdered John Marbury." "You're bure of that?" "I'm na certain, sir, as that my name's what it is." "It is your belief that Mr. Ayl more, when you mot him, was accom panied by the man who, according to the photographs, was John Marbury?" "It is, bir." "Very well. Now, having seen Mr. Aylmore and his companion, what did you do?" "Oh. I juit turned and walked after them." "You walked after them? They were going eastward, then?" "They were walking by the way I'd come.", "You followed them eastward?" "I did I was going back to the, hotel, you see." "What were they doing?" "Talking uncommonly earnestly, sir. "How far did you follow them?" "I followed theln until they came to tho embankment lodge of Middle Tem ple lane, sir." "And then?" "Why, sir, they turned in there, and I went straight on to Do Kcyser's, and to my bed." There was u deeper bilence in court at that moment than at any other period of the long day. and it grow still deeper when the quiet, keen voice put the next question. "You swear on your oath that .you saw Mr. Aylmore take his companion into the Temple by the embankment entrance of Middle Temple lane on the occasion in question?" "I do! I could swear uo other, sir." "Can you tell us. as near as possible. what time that would be?" "Yes. It was, to a minute or so, about five minutes past 12." The treasury counsel nodded to the coroner, una the coroner, utter a whis pered conference with the foreman of the jury, looked at the witness. "You have only just given this in formation to the police, I understand?" he baid. "Ye3 sir. I have been in Puris, and in Amiens, und 1 only returned by this morning's boat. As soon us 1 had read all the news in the papers the English papers and seen the dead man's photo cranhs I determined to tell the police what 1 knew, and I went to New Scot land Yard as froou ns I got to London this moruiug." Nobody cite wanted to ask Mr. David Lyell uny questions, and he stepped down. And Mr. Aylmore suddenly came forward again, sopking tho coroner's attention. "May I be allowed to make an ex planation, sir?" he began. "I " But tbo treasury counsel was on his feet, this time stern and implacable. "I would point out. sir. that you have had Mr. Aylmore in the box, and that he was not then at all ready to give explana tions, or even to answer questions," he said. "And before you allow him to make any explanation now. I ask vou to hear another witness whom I wish to interpose nt this stage.
