CHAPTKf! II.
At this stare of the affair I was
called Into It, oddly ennusrh.. I received
a note. frrm that eminent lawyer. Julin
fJreve, with whum I hud studl'd, ask
ing me to rail and s Mrs. Prlneveau
at her Fifth avenue humo. lie Jiud
taken the llherty, he said, of recom
imndlnK mt In n matter that would
perhaps lie of (freat service to me. per
plexed a I was at this, knowing that
John (Jreve was Mrs. Prlneveau's law
yer and did hot need associate counsel,
I nevertheless called promptly upon the
lady.
I found her to he a very handsome
woman, Wrth great dignity of person, a
charming of self-possession and all the
fvldenees of a refined and estimable,
characrter.
"This unfortunate affair," he said,
"has preplexed me In more ways than
ne. That wretched man, ('larkson,
as you doubtless know, is In custody
und Is now here. The circumstances
(tppear to leave little doubt of his guilt.
Hut he has a wife and two children.
Their abject misery Is mnde all the
more acute by the wife's belief in her
husband's Innocence. It Is a very dread
ful state of affairs, but I shrink from
1he responsibility which justice Im
poses on. me, of hanging that helpless
' wrotch without giving him a show for
his life. He Is not able to employ coun
sel, and I am at the best only a woman.
1 propose to pay you to try and do the
best you can for him. and, of course, I
do not wish anything said nbout It, I
ok (he advice of Mr. dreve, and ha
mild that In any case the man was en
titled to good counsel and advised me
o employ you. It seems In such a
foregone conclusion a small concession
to give him the benefit of 'the law. At
alt events It will relieve me from the re
proach of having been Influenced en
tirely by a vindictive feeling.'
I do not now remember all thnt was
paid at this Interview, but I recall that
I was consciously affected by 'the wom
an's sympathy for a man that she saw
hnd little or no chance for 'his life, and
who wanted to soften her own share In
the prosecution by not permitting him
to say he had no chance to prove his In
nocence. I promised her to go and see the ac
cused man and to send her my decision
as soon thereafter as was possible.'
Tills Interview was on the 2Bth. On
the 20th I went to see Clarkson In his
cell at the t Ity prison. I found a woman
1 n the warden's office who had also come
to see him. It proved to be his wife.
She was such a picture of abject misery
that she arrested my attention. She
must have been a very beautiful girl, nl
tnough now Hhe was at least twenty-live
and suffering hud drawn tts lines across
her white face. I could sex- that she
was martr of the finest material, was
In fmit one of those delicate, sensitive,
emotional natures that shrink from the
world, but are capable of the greatest
sacrlllces and measureless heroism
wh n a crisis comes. Hhe was wretch
edly clad from the biting spring
weather, and she stood with her face
turned 'toward the wall, but through
all her shabby Integuments there was
a proclamltlon of natural symmetry arid
lit
Tho Warden Told Ma Who She Was.
oven of character. When the warden
told me who she was, I went to her and
made myself and my mission known.
Hhe grasped my hand with her, long
cold lingers almost convulsively and
sweeping away tho veil that had partly
concealed her face looked at me so
searchlngly and Imploringly with her
sad gray eyes thu.t I started a little,
"O, sir!" she said, "bad as .my hus
band may be, he la Innocent of this,
and he has two little children that he
loves. You have come to save him. I
feel It."
I patted her hand and tried to say
something 'that was encouragingly non
committal. "We shall see, we shall
sft. Things are often not so bad as
they look, t am going to have a chat
with him. In the meantime, save your
strength. You r? not friendless,"
" She paid no heed at all to what I
said. She was looking at me with
those gray eyes very much as If she
taw something behind me, and hanging
to my hand like a drowning person.
"Yes, yes!" she said, with a sob;
"you will save him," and then she be
gan to cry convulsively,
I had not the heart to tell her how
hopeless it all looked. I wished that I
had been spared this so that my Judg
ment could come to the Interview
with the accused man unperturbed.
She made me go up and see her hus
band first. She would wait.
I found Clarkson to be the very an
tithesis of his wife. He was a large,
muscular and slightly bloated fellow
with a purplish face, tho result of de
bauchery, but withal a rather hand
some man or what would have been a
handsome man in normal conditions.
He sat on the edge of the Iron bed when
I entered the cell, Ms head between his
luiiuls, and he did not look up until I
had spoken to him, and then It was
with such a flabby despair that I felt
repelled.
Hero was one of those large vital na
tures that appear to have no Internal
resources. I could see In an Instant
why his life had been a failure. He
was made up of unregulated appetites
and sensibilities without volition
enough to control them. Just the sort
of man to do a desperate deed in the
frenzy of drink, without a motive be
fore It or a recollection after It, but
as devoid of methodical vlndlctlveness
as a mastiff.
I told him I had como to talk with
him in view of conducting his defense.
"Hah," he Bald, "there Is no defense.
Cun you defend me ugslnst Hod .'"
"Let me nsk of you," 1 began, "not
to 'talk In that reckless manner. Try
and be cool. Hlasphemy may relieve
your feelings, but It will not help your
case." '
"My case Is helpless," he said, with
every fleshly Indication that It was.
"flut If It Is worth while to make a
plea at all. It Is not necessary to an
nounce your guilt In advance."
He sprang up from tho bed he was
six feet at lenst In height and with a
clenched fist uplifted shouted: '
"I am not guilty, but I might as well
be, for Ood bus decreed Unit everybody
shall think so,"
A Utile gleam of hope suddenly had
shot out of the darkness of this reply.
The man might be In some degree In
sane, and Irresponsible,
"If you are not guilty there are pos
sibilities of defense. I . don't think
Heaven will object to our availing our
selves of them."
"Much you know of Heaven," he re
plied. "No man could have made such
a set of circumstances to fit Into my
doom. It requires the subtlety and
cruelty of a god. I might as well have
killed that man and given myself up.
The result will be the same. Hut I'm
too d d weak to kill anybody. .Ho I
am to be killed. This Is In accordance
with eternal practice."
He looked at me with a glaring eye.
Ills words were hot with a burning
arraignment. There could be, no mis
take about the earnestness and sinceri
ty of his emotion.
"Wither this man Is Innocent or mad,"
I said to myself, and then hastened to
disavow the thought to myself.
"I tell you beforehand," he went on,
"that you cannot do anything with
the circumstances. Did I go to Mr.
I'rlneveau and use threatening words
yes. Did I happen to have a pistol In
my possession whose bullets exactly
correspond to the one' found ' In the
man's body yes. Did I disappear
after, the deed yes. Is my life and
Character Just such ai would fit me for
. "". . : " " . i
sucn a aeeu yes. Ana yei i ten you
that I was not there, did not kill him,
and never hud such an act In my
mind."
"Easy," I said. "If you were not
there, you v ere somewhere else. We
ought to be able to get at that."
"Yes, we ought to, If we were not
fighting against destiny. Hut Just at
the lime that I ought to have known
where I was I was unconscious."
"Yes. Some demon may have robbed
me of myself and worked this thing
through me. That's the safest theory.
You'd better stick to that. You'll get
some credit for it after I'm hanged."
"Clarksou," said I, "I met your wife
downstairs; she made me come up and
see you first."
He staggered against the wall In the
corner of the cell and broke down.
"l'oor girl! I'oor girl!" he said, with
great sobs. "I've been the curse of her
life."
"She believes In your Innocence."
"Of course she does. She knows me,
poor old sweetheart. She knows that.
"Poor (ilrl, Pour Uirl," lie Nobbed.
weak and worthless as I 'am, I never
killed even an Insect."
"She believes that I was sent to
to give you valuable assistance.'
"Yes. She believes In a good Ood.
You wouldn't think It, with such a hus
band us I am, would you? So did I,
till He wound this mesh around me!"
"Tut, tut, man! I'ull yourself to
gether and let your reason work. Pit
down there and answer my questions."
Ho wiped his eyes with his coat
sleeve and sat down again, helplessly,
on the edge of the bed.
"Now. you don't know where you
were at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of
March 17?"
"No. The last thing I remember was
going down Vesey street toward the
river."
"Where had you been?"
"I had been drinking on Sixth ave
nue at several places."
"And when you recovered your con
sciousness where were you?"
"In Troy."
"Humph! Had yuu ever been to Troy
before?"
"No."
"Did you know anybody there?"
"No."
"Did you have the pistol with yod
that was found In your house?"
"No. I never carried a pistol In my
life."
"Did not your wife then know thift
the pistol wan In the house at the time
this murder was committed up-town?"
"No. She did not know anything
about It." .
"Where did you get It?"
"I took It In pledge from a little
Frenchman who boarded In the house
and who wanted to raise money to go
home. I threw It In my chest of draw
ers, saying I could get $G on It any
time at a pawn shop, for It was hand
somely silver mounted."
"How long was this before the mur
der of Mr. Prlneyeau?"
The man turned round and looked
at me with a blank face and said, slow
ly: "It was about five days before,
and the day after I had had the words
with Mr. Prlneveau In the library."
I confess that both his looks and his
words had a knell-like effect. In spite
of myself I felt staggered.
"Do you know of anybody whose In
terest would be advanced by the death
of Mr. Prlneveau?"
He hesitated a moment. Then he
said: "No, Mr. Prlneveau's death was
a deprivation to me. He was the best,
and in fact, the only friend 1 had."
I'W'hy did you go to him that night a
week before bis death?"
"To get money."
"Did you get It?"
"Yes. I always got It."
"Ity threats?"
"No. It was absolute chnrlty. He
gave me a twenty-dollar bill. He al
ways felt sorry for me. I was flush
with that money und bought the pis
tol, not because I wanted It, but be
cause the Frenchman was hind up."
"Now tell me what the conversation
was with your uncle that night."
"I cannot tell It i-teirly because I
hud been drinking, and 1 am effusive
anil fdidlsh when 1 have liquor In me."
"Was there not n quarrel?"
"No. He may have upbraided me;
he always did, anil 1 may have talked
fust and loud. 1 always do, but there
was no other quarrel."
This man puzzled me completely.
There was nothing In his Information
that at all removed the fatal circum
stances. I hud to confess to myself
that any gushing sentlmetal lout,
however guilty, might present this
view of the case. Hut there was some
thing In the fellow's face and tones that
went past my reason and awakened
some Instinct that he was Innocent.
When I left him 1 was In a curious
quandary. I could not put my linger
on a piece of evidence to be used In re
buttal of the circumstance, and yet 1
found some niartlculato voice in me
saying: "That man Is Innocent."
I thought the matter over that night
without coming to u conclusion, and
went to bed saying I would sleep over
It, which, of course, Is very much like
saying In the face of a dilemma that
you will toss a penny up. In both cases
there Is un acknowledgment that some
thing outside of your own will may de
termine for you.
