trial went on in good earneut. A
number of witnesses were ex unified,
whose testimony Hhowod that tl.nl
do had had trouble with Blake, und
moro than ence threatened bis life ;
that Giiel.lo's pistol was one charge
empty on the evening of tho day of
the murder, whoreasiu tho morning
it has beeu full ; that he was seen
that r. orning around Blake's bouse,
and, more than that, Blake's widow
had hoard G libido's voice just before
the fatal shot, and bad seen his re
troating form as she ran out,
At this point the ddlvostou lawyor
askod the witness a few questions
regarding how sho had recognized
Mo voice for his. She didu't know
bow exactly, but was none the less
sure for that.
There bad been a rumor about
that some one bad heard Antonio
make a boast of having "dona for
Blake this timo," but if thero was a
witness for this bo could not be
found now.
Aod bo tbe prosecution closed,
Tbe Galveston lawyer began by
involving in a whirlpool of bopelens
contradiction tbe witness who had
sworu to having seou tJuoldo near
Blake's bouse. Tbon he expatiated
on tbe ease with which one person
rr. y be mistaken for anothor, and
brought a witness to show how Gu
eld 1 had alroady been said to resein
hie some one in the village. Final
ly, he produced three of the ill-conditioned
fellows before referred to,
who swore that Antonio was with
them on a bunting expedition dur
ing the whole of tho day on which
tbe murder was committed."
It was a clear case of alibi. Jake
Smith's astonisbmont at tho ease with
which tbe thing bad beon acoom
plisbed was unbounded. Ho threw
a disgusted look toward Pilboldo,
but the judge was nonplussed, and
didn't seem to bo interested with
things in Jake's vicinity.
"Geutlomeo of the jury," said be,
"things baa took a turn I didn't al

tbat don't need any expluinin'. Ef

Tbe jury filed out, and the expeo
tant audience occupied itself with
toboooo and whispered oommenta.
Jake Smith fidgeted about on bis
box, and oast anxious gluuoes
through tbe open door, toward tbe
