Prom an Unidentified Exchange.
It was the ewrrtrrg of the first day of
the Doltshire assixe. The Judice. on the
application of she prosecution, had
fixed the following morning for the trial
or Captain Charles Oliver for the mur
dor of Mhm Alice rh-spard, the gorver
nrsa of Sir Robert Koland's children by
hl ttrst wife, and he. with hi Junior.
Mr. IVll.m. nd the solicitor. Mr. H 'Hik
er of the Arm of Uarpy & Hooker),
were In conference aa to the course to
be followed the next morning.
"1 haven't had time to look at my
fcrlnf us yet," said Mr. Uritely. "I know
nothing of the facts In the case. You
conducted It befotw the magistrates,
Belloe. didn't you?"
"Yes. 1 did." answered Mr. Itelloe.
"And ''ith remarkable Judgment."
added Mr. Hooker. (Mr. Uelloe was
Mr. Hooker's respective son-in-law.)
"Well, perhwps you wouldn't mind
giving men'outHne of the facts proved
in evidence?" said Mr. 'tritely.
"Wlih pleasure." responded Mr. Brt
loe. "The victim was a Miss Alice
Peapard, governess of the children of
Sir Kobert Roland by his tirst wife.
The prisoner Is Captain Charles
Oliver, a friend of Sir Robert and the
present Lady Roland. He appears to
have made the aviuaintanve of the
governess during his visits to Roland
Park, 'but nobody suspected that there
was more than the merest acquaintance
between them until the engagement of
Captain Oliver and Miss Waverton was
announced." . ,
"Who taiMlss Waverton?" asked Mr.
Britely. , ,
"The half-sister of l.ady Roland, I
teWve," replied Mr. Hooker.
"Oh. I wasn't aware of that, said
Mr. l'.elloe. , ,
"Yes. and they say nil their father
property went o her." added the soli
citor," and that there's not any love
lost berween them."
. "Yes." said Mr. Hritely. as he made
a note in the fold of his brief.
"Well, anyway." Mr. Helloe went on.
"after the announcement of Captain
Oliver's engagement M was noticed that
M!-s Despard btcame very despond
ent. Who noticed It?" asked Mr. Britely.
"Well. I think Lady Roland did.'
answered iMr. Helloe, 'beginning to turn
over his brief. "I don't know that any
one else particularly referred to it."
"Well." continued Mr. Belloe. putting
aide his papers, "Oliver's engagement
was announced on Tuesday. Sept. 7,
and on Saturday, the 11th, Miss res
pard retired rather early. It is clear
now that. Instead of going to bed. she
went into the park. and. as far as can
toe discovered, she never returned
again, but her absence -wasn't noticed
till the morning. Then a search was
made for her, but It wasn't till evening
her body was found. It was ultimately
d.acovered among some laurel bushes
not far from the highway, with a bullet-wound
right through her head. At
first It was thought to be suicide, but as
no pistol could be found near the spot
the police eventually suspected mur
der They starched the girl's boxes
and came across a numoer 01
tew. They were simply signed Charlie,
but there seems to be no doubt they
were -written by Captain Oliver."
Does he dispute It?" asked Mr.
"Not seriously, but he says, queerly
enough" said Mr. Hooker.
"Let us hear the evidence given first,
intariMinta.1 Mr. Britelv.
"Well, this discovery led the police to
make Inquiries as to Olivers wnere
abouts on the night of the murder. He
refused to give any Information and he
unvoted. After his arrest the
Horslev stated that he had
seen him. he 'believed, on the night of
the murder In Roland park, not far
from the place where tne Doay was
fnnnit and that he was then accompa
nied by a lady. Horsley seemed reluc
tant to give his evidence, ana reiuseu
n .wear nnaitlvelv that the lady with
the prisoner was Miss Despard. Two
Independent witnesses swore pLram.cj
to seeing Oliver in or about Braxby dur
ing the same evening, and a policeman
met him after midnight walking to
ward Rottenborough. where he could
catch the morning express 10 town.
"A nrettv conclusive identification."
said Mr. Britely, "especially In the ab
sence of evidence to show tnat ne was
somewhere else."
"He made a most remarkable state
ment," put In Mr. Hooker.
"Walt, please: wait until we have
done with the evidence," said Mr. Brite
ly. ''Is this the case as it appeared be
fore the magistrate?"
"Practically It Is In outline," an
swered Mr. Belloe.
"I understand." said , Mr. Britely.
"Now Just answer me one or two ques
tions as to the nature of those love let
ters. !utd they contain any promise of
marriage?"
"Oh, yes; over and over again," an
swered Mr. Belloe. "They are very tt-r-vent
and they continually repeat prom
ises to marry as soon as the obstruction
Is removed."
3 "Obstruction removed,"' said Britely,
reflectively. "Was there any other, wo
man with claims on Oliver?"
"Not as far as i know. The prosecu
tion said this referred to his pecuniary
difficulties."
"He was In pecuniary difficulties?"
"Oh, yes; he admitted that."
"Well, let me see." said Mr. Britely,
"Was the revolver traced to him?" '
ViNo. not exactly traced," answered
Mr. Belloe; "but the police found in his
lodging several revolvers, and the bul
let hole In the girl's skull might have
been made by the bullut used for any
of them."
"The bullet Itself was riot found?",
, "No; they searched all about, but
could not find a trace Oi It."
"Well, now as to the wound," con
tinued Mr. Bfltely. "What do the doc
tow say about It?"
"They say that the pistol must have
been fired very close to her head; the
hair about the wound Is singed and
blackened, and one of the doctors -was
strongly of the opinion that It was fired
by the girl herself." ,
"Walt a minute. Who said thatr
asked Mr. Britely.
"Dr. Barber, I think. Yes, Dr. Bar
ber.!' "Very well,' said Mr. Britely, noting
down the name. "Now as to the posi
tion of the wound?"
"It was on the right side of the head,
just above the ear, and went up In a
sloping direction."
"1 see," said Mr. Britely. and he re
flected in silence for a moment. Then,
furnlrra; to Mr. Hooker, he asked:
What does Oliver say about all this?"
"Well, sir, he tells a most Incredible
story," began the solicitor.
"Never mind, Mr. Hooker; you Just
repeat ft," put In (Mr. Britely.
"Well, sir, at first he would -say noth
ing, except that the whole thing was rot
and he couldn't be convicted, for he
wasn't guilty. He maintained this atti
tude until after Lady Roland had given
her. evidence, when he seemed to lose
bis, temper. He then, after a day or
two of hesitation,,, told me a, most In
creditable story."
"Ton said so before, Mr. ' Hooker,"
aid Mr. Britely, a little Impatiently.
"Pray don't repeat yourself."
"I beg your pardon. Well, sir, he
aidvthat, as a matter of fact, he was
at Roland Park on the night oC the
-fnurder and thu vrltnMMoa whn awnr
they saw him there -were right. He4
went mere, ne said, at the request of
Lady Roland and he spent the whole
evening with her In the park when she
was supposed to be In bed. He parted
with her at a late hour after a bitter
uamV, He ha4 lore affair with her
Mystery
Save Captain 01i?er from
il
ladyship and the correspondence was
conducted through -Miss Despard to
prevent discovery. Miss Despard was
Lady Roland's confidante. All the let
ters found in iMIss Despard's box were
written -by him to Lady Roland, he
said, and the bstaole referred to In
them was old Sir Robert. He further
said that the letters were either put
Into Miss Despard's -box by Lady Ro
land or else they were kept by Lady Ro
land there for safety. He asserts that
the whole thing la a plot of Lady Ro
land's to get revenge for his throwing
her over for her sister-in-law."
The solicitor paused to watch Mr.
Britely's surprise as these statements,
Mr. Britely showed none.
"Very clever," he said, quietly; "very
clever. Indeed. Does he say wiry he did
not tell you this at nrst"
"Yes; he said ho didn't want to raise
a scandal about Lady Roland especial
ly since he Is engaged to her sister."
'Y'es; a sufficient reason," was iMr,
Britely's comment. Then, after
pause: "Hid he say anything as to how
Miss Despard came to her end?
"Yes, sir; he said he thought she had
committed suicide. She was always of
a fidgety, excitable character, he said
and he hinted that she was put out, too,
by his engagement."
"Oh! there was a little affair with her
also, was there?" said Mr. Britely,
Then, turning to Mr. Belloe, he added:
"Nice defense; that will appeal to the
higher feelings of the Jury, eh? '
"He seems to 'be a bad lot," answered
Mr. Belloe.
"Yes; but If he hasn't murdered the
girl he shouldn t behanged," replied Mr.
Britely. "His statement squares re
markably with the proved facts. If It's
all a He, it's a clever one. You knew
nothing about this when he was before
the magistrates?"
'No. nothing."
"So much the better, in a way. The
prosecution and the witnesses won't be
prepared for It. 'Now. let me see. Has
he any proof that this correspondence
was, as he says, with Lady Roland?"
'Nothing but his word," answered
Mr. Hooker.
"And that's nothing, illas he no let
ters from her?"
"No; she always wrote through Miss
Despard.
"The story looks a bit thin, doesn't
It? It seems Incredible that two lovers
should carry on all their correspondence
through a third person."
"Oh, he says he once received a letter
from Lady Roland when. Miss Despard
was away on a holiday,
"Where Is it?"
"He destroyed it at her request."
Mr. Bradley reflected.
"How along ago was It?" he asked at
last.
"About two months ago."
"Well, then, he must remember pretty
accurately its contents. Now. listen,
Mr. Hooker. I am rather Impressed by
the prisoner's statement, and I want
you to test it for me. Go to him tomor
row and ask him to give you as nearly
as he can remember a copy, word for
word, of this letter. You write it out
again on paper similar to that on which
he says It was originally written and
bring It to me. Before leaving him ask
him again in the most solemn way
whether or not his story Is true. Tell
him from me that I will act on his word:
that as the case 'stands now, without
his story, there is no chance of his es
cape, but If I act on his story, and it
turns out untrue, he'll be hanged as
sure as death. If however, his story Is
true and i act on it he'll probably es
cape."
"What are you going to do?" asked
Air. Belloe.
"You 11 see tomorrow. I'm off to
bed, was Mr. Britely's only answer.
Next morning Just before the case
was caned on Mr. Britely and Mr. Bel
loe came Into court. A minute later
Mr. Hooker Joined them.
"Captain Oliver." he whisnered to Mr.
Britely, "says his statement is literally
true, but he leaves It to your discretion
wnetneror not you shall act on it."
"But for that hedging I would believe
tne fellow," answered .Mr. Britely.
"ow, i scarcely know whether to be,
lleve him. or not. Is that the copy of
me leuer:
"Yes, sir," answered iMr. Hooker.
"Let me see It."
He looked It over carefully. '
"Very well." lie then said: "We'll
see now tnings go."
Just then the Judge entered. Inv
meuiaieiy aiterward the Jury were
sworn In, and soon the counsel for the
prosecution was opening the case. Wher.
he had coneluded witnesses were called
to prove the plan of Roland Park", the
place where the .body was. found, the
nature of the wound and the time when
aeatn nad probably taken nlace.
Mr. Britely cross-examined none of
tnese witnesses except the two sur
geons who examined the body. The
nrst one in cross-exam nation ndmlttt.fi
that he had at first regarded the case as
one of suicide, and, further, that still he
considered the wound a most peculiar
Hie, in pu.nuon ana direction, to be In
flicted by a second person. The second
surgeon did not go so far, but while he
contended that the wound might easily
be caused by a second person, he al
lowed that its direction and position
were as consistent with suicide as with
murder.
The witnesses who were called to
prove the prisoner's presence in Brax
by were not cross-examined at all,
much to the astonishment of the court.
Horsley, the groom who was called to
prove his presence In the park in com
pany with Miss Despard, was cross-examined,
but again, to the astonishment
of the etiurt, not with the object of
showing that Oliver was not In the
park, but that the lady with him was
not -Miss Despard.
"You. say," Mr. Britely said to him,
"that -the lady you saw with the pris
oner was Mrs Despard?"
"So I thought, sir," answered ' the
groom.
"But were you sure?" , asked Mr.
Britely.
"Yes, I am sure, sir."

"But were you sure at the time you
saw themr
The groom hesitated. . .
"Come, now, were you sure then, or
nave you ttecome oonvinoed since?"
persisted Mr. Britely.
"Well, -perhaps I wasn't quite sure at
cue trme," admitted the groom.
"Just so. Now did ahe look taller
than Miss Despard T
Yes. I thought, at first, she did," ac
quiesced tne groom.

"In fact, did you not at first think it
was somebody else?"
"Well, yes; I think I did, sir." '
"Whom did you think it was?"
The groom esitated.
"Come now," urged Mr. Britely.
"Well, I thoupght tor the moment It
was my lady."
"And you only sa-w 'her for a mo

"Yes. sir; but I'm sure now It was

"Never mind about that."
Mr. Britely sat down. Ho turned to
Mr. Belloe.
'Oliver is not lyliifer. We've won the
case.
lady Roland -was called next. She
entered the box very pale, but also
very determined. She wan a strikingly
nanusome woman, with 'black hair and
deep-set. dark eyes, an auulllne nose.
and thin, firmly compressed lips. She
answered the questions put to her
unoruy ana eieariy. tsne nad, she said,
known or suspected something of an
intrigue or love affair between the
prisoner and her governess. A few days
oerore me girl's death she noticed she
was depressed. She endeavored to dls
cover the cause but failed.
On the night of Saturday, Sept. 11, the
witness retired to rest earlier Minn
usual she had a headache about 8.30.
The deceased had not come down stairs
after seeing the children were prop'
erly put to bed; she seldom did come
down. It was only in the morning wit
ness first learned that the governess
was missing. She thi n communicated
with the police. iMe;.nwhlle she
searched the girl's room to see If there
was anything there to account -for her
disappearance. She discovered the
letters produced, and on learning that
the girl had been murdered handed
them to the police. ihe had seen Cap
tuin Oliver write, and had no doubt
whatever that they were In his hand
writing.
Mr. Britely rose to cross-examine.
"You yourself have had no corre
spondence with the prisoner?"
"Oh, yes, I have."
"Of what kind?"
"I have often written asking thlm to
stay with us. I know him well."
"I understand. But no love letters
have passed between him and you?"
"You are insulting me, sir."
"I should be very sorry to do so, Lady
Roland, but I must obey my instruc
tions. If what I suggest Is untrue, deny
It. No love letters ever passed between
you and the prisoner?
"No, none. It Is an Infamy to suggest
it."
"Now, Lady Roland, did you go to
bed when you retired- to your room Sat
urday night the night In question?"
"Yes, I did."
"You swear that?"
"Yes."
"You did not go out to the park?"
"No. I did not."
"You did not meet Captain Oliver
mere Dy appointment?"
"I did not."
"The groom was mistaken In think
ing the lady he saw with the prisoner
was you r
"He -was."
"You have never made appointments
with the prisoner by means of letters
written by the deceased girl?"
"Never."
"Now, I put It to you. You did make
sucn appointments. You had a love af
fair with the prisoner. The deceased
girl was merely a go-between, who. to
prevent discovery, wrote your letters to
the prisoner and received his letters for
you. is there any truth In this?"
"Not an atom."
"You never wrote to him yourself?"
"Never a love leter."
'That's what I mean. Now, you swear
xo imsy
"I do."
"Now. listen to this " said Mr. Rrlte-
ly. very quietly, taking up the copy of
me letter wnicn nad been prepared for
him. "Now, listen to this, Ladv Ro
land, and then say If you are willing to
stand by what you have said:

"My Darling Charlie: I am breaking

part Is away on a holiday, and won't be
back for a week. I can't wait all that
time to write to you. Why do you come
so seldom now? If you play me false I'll
have my revenge. Do come, dearest, and
tell me what you are doing. I am dying
for love of you. Your broken-hearted
"Helen.
"Don't mind the threats, dearest; I'm
half mad through your neglect."
When .Mr. Britely came to the end of
the note he looked up at Lady Roland.
She was gha-stly.
"Well?" he said.
''.My God, he swore to me he had
burnt It!"
For a moment or two there was dead
silence over the court. Then the Judge
spoke.
"Let me see the original, Mr. Britely,"
he said.
"It's not an original my lord." replied
Mr. Britely. quietly, "only a copy from
memory. The original, as the witness
says the prisoner told her, Is de
stroyed." The next second Lady Roland sank
down fainting In the box.
She was not further examined or
cross-examined. Indeed, her condition
was so dangerous that such a proceed
ing was out of the question. The trial
proceeded in a lame way; but the heart
was. taken out of the prosecution by
the collapse of their most Important
witness, and, under the direction of the
Judge, the prisoner was acquitted.
BUHDSequent) discoveries left . nn
doubt that the verdict was Just, and
that the case was one of suicide. What
became of the revolver Is now the only
mystery In the affair.

Uappeainga of Interest to the Staple
Trades and Particularly to the Trad
la Iron, Steel and Anthracite Coal.
The Buffalo Furnace "company recent
ly gave Its employes a second advance
of 10 per cent. In wages.
The Birmingham News, referring to
the demand for laborers, says: "Labor
ers have been coming here from Flor
ida. Ueorgla. Kentucky. Pennsylvania.
Ohio and many other states within the
past few weeks. All have been given
work and there is room for more still."
There Is considerable activity in the
Reading's car shops at Beading, where
600 -workmen are busily engaged In
equipping 30,000 freight and coal cars
with air -brakes. It -will take some time
to attach the appliances, and the former
force has been increased to its present
number. All hopper and other cars are
being raised to conform with the law.
The standard calls fur thirty-tour and
one-hulf inches from the rail, and this
work Is now being done. The changes
are slight, but there are a large number
of cars to be altered. . It is understood
that the woodworking department will
be put on double turn as soon as the
necessary help can be secured and lum
ber obtained.
Philadelphia Times: The necessity
for doing something to rehabilitate the
anthracite coal trade Is admitted on all
sides. A potent argument In this re
spect Is shown In the accompanying
table, which gives tie actual net prices
for the various grades of coal in July
for six years at tidewater:
1N95. 1n4. 1WI3. 1S!) 1X01. 1S90.
Broken ...$2.75 $3.25 $3.65 $3.77 $:t.45 $:.
KKg 2.75 3.31) 3.7.1 3.S5 3.55 3.40
Stuve 2.K5 3.55 4.00 4.20 3.70 3. 63
Chestnut . 2.75 S.55 4.05 4.00 3.45 3.35
From this It -will be seen that as com
pared with 1S3, which was a normal
year, as far as the coal trade Is con
cerned, broken coal sold for 90 cents
less, egg $1 less, stove $1.15 less, and
chestnut $1.30 less. As compared with
last year, broken coal last month was
60 cents lower, egg 65 cents,- stove 70
cents, and chestnut 80 cents. A com
parison between prices this month and
August, 1894, will make even a more
unfavorable showing, as present prices
are from 23 to 35 cents a ton less than
they were last month.
LETTING HER liNOW.
He loved her with a bashful love
Tha-t ytt remained unspoken,
For every time he tried to sieak
He found his courage broken.
"I cannot tell my love." said he;
"Howe'er much I bewail It."
And so he wrote it on a card
And asked her If she'd mall It.
