"1 felt a lx>ard rise under my knee as i? ttie other er.it luul been trod ou Shortly after a woman stream***!, auil I burst oiH'ii the door." "flow loug sifter you felt the hoard ! I rise?" "Perhajis a tuinute. possibly two." "t!o on." ' "Just after ttie ship's bell stru -k six o'clock. The main cabin was dark. There was a light in the chart rootu. from the binnacle light I felt my way to Mr. Null's rootu. I heard hiui breath ing. His door was open. 1 struck a mutch ami looked at liitn. He had j stopped breathing." "What was the state of his bunk?" "Disordered—horrible. He was ai most hacked to pieces." "Go oil." "I ran l>ack aud sot my revolver. 1 thought there had beeu a mutiny"— "Confine yourself to what you saw aud did. The court is not interested in what you thought." "1 am only trying to exj-'ain what 1 did. I ran back to the storeroom and pot tnv revolver and ran back through the chart room to the after companion, which had a hood. 1 thought that if any one was lying in ambush the hood would protect me until t cquld get to the deck. 1 told the helmsman what had happened, and ran forward. Mr. Singleton was on the forecastle head. We went below together and found the captain lying at the foot of the for ward companion, also dead." "At this time had you called the owner of the ship';" "No. 1 called him then But I could not rouse him." | "Explain what you mean by that." "He had been drinking." There followed a furious wrangle over this point, but the prosecuting attorney succeeded in having question . aud answer stand. "What did you do next?" "the mate had called the crew. I wakeued Mrs. Turner. Miss I.ee and j Mrs. Johns and then went to the chart room to .all the women there. The door w:is opri) an inch or so. I iv | <vivt'd no answer to my knock and i pul'od ir i n Karen Hansen, the uia d. was dead on the tl<■ i'. and tli stewardess w - in Iter hunk in a state | of collapse.' "Stale where you found the ax with ■ whicu the crimes were committed." "It nt' found in the stewardess" bunk." "Where is tile ax now?" "It was stolen 'from the captain's cabin, where it WHS locked for safe \ keeping, and presumno.i thrown over j board. At leas', we did not tlnd it.'' "1 see you are consulting .i book to refresh your memory. Wh. t •< rliN 4ook?" "The ship's log " "How does it happen to in; :n jour possession?" "The crew appointed tile captain. As such 1 kept the log book. It contains * full account of the discovery .of ft* bodies. witnessed by all the men" "Is it in your writing?" "Yes. it is in inv writiti-r.' "You read v to the men and tLe.v •taxied it?" "No: they read it themselves be fore they signed it." After a wruugle as to ray having au thority to make a record in the log book, the prosecuting attorney succeed ed iu having the book admitted as evi dence and read to the jury the eutry of Aug. 13. Having thus proved the crimes 1 was excused, to be recalled later The de fense reserving its cross examination, the doctor from the quarantine station was called next and testified to the manner of death. His testimony was revolting and bears in no way ou the story save in one ('articular—a curious uniformity in the mutilation of the bodies of Vail and Captain Hichardson. a sinister similarity that was infinitely shocking. In each case the forehead, the two arms and the abdomen had teceived a frightful blow. In the case of the Danish girl there was only one wound—the injury on the head. CHAPTER XIII. Oleson't Story. ™ MARIETTA SLOANE was call ed next. "Yonr name?" J "Henrietta Sloane " "Are you married?" "A widow." "When and where were you born?" "Isle of Man. Dec. 11. 1872." "How long have you lived in the Cnited States?" "Sit'.ce I was two." "Your position on the yacht Ella?" ! "Stewardess." "Before that?" "On the Baltic, between Liverpool atid Now York. That was how l met Mrs. Turner." "Where was your room on the yacht Ella?" "OfT the chart room." "Will you indicate It on this dia gram?" "It was there." The diagram was shown to the jury. "There are two bunks in this room. Which was yours?" "The one at the side. The one op posite the door was Karen's." "Tell what happened on the night of Aug. 11 and uiomiug of the 12th." "I went to bed early. Karen Han sen had not come down bv midnight. When I opened the door I saw why. Mr. Turner and Mr. Singleton were there drinking." The defense objected to this, but was overruled by the conrt. •'Mr. Vail was trying to persuade the mate to go on deck before the ! captain came (lowii " "1 >i«l lie go?" "No " "What comment did Mr Singletou uißk^v "lie said he hoped the captain would come. He wanted a chance to get at him." "What happened after that?" "The captain came down and order ed the mate on deck. Mr. Vail and the captain got Mr. Turner to his room." "How do you know that'.'" "1 opened my door." "What then?" "Karen came down at 12:30. We went to bed. At ten minutes to 3 the 1 f-Ti I « "Was what you saw a figure?" I'ell ran;; for Karen. She got up and put on a wrapper and slippers. She was grumbling and I told her to put out the light and let me sleep. As she ■ opened the door she screamed and fell back ou the Boor. Something struck I uie on the shoulder, and 1 fainted. 1 | learned later it was the ax." "Did you hear any sound outside be- ' fore you opened the door?" "A curious chopping sound. I spoke i'f it to her. It cauie from the chart room." "When the girl fell back into the room did yon see any one beyond her?" "I saw something—l couldn't say just tfhat." "Was what you saw a figure?" "i—l am no* •- tain. It was light— tlmos. - • v. "Can you not describe it?" "1 am afraid not—except that it seem >«i white " • How tall vas it?" • "I co./dn't say." "As tiii: the L'ir!?" "Just about, perhaps." "Think of something that it resem bled. This is imiiortant. Mrs. Sloan*;. You must make an' effort." "1 think it looked most like a foun tain." Even the jury laughed at this, and yet. after ail, Mrs. Sloaue was right— or nearly so. "That is curious. How did it resem ble a fountain?" "Perhaps I should have said a foun tain in moonlight—white and misty and—and flowing." "And yet. this curious shaped object threw the ax at you. didn't it?" There was an objection to the form of this question, but the court over ruled it. "I did not say it threw the ax. I did not see it thrown. I felt it." "Did you know the first mate. Single- i ton. before you met on the Ella?"' "Yes. sir." "Where?" "We were on the same vessel two years ago. the American, for Ber muda." "Were you friends?" "Yes." very low. "Were you engaged to marry him at one time?'' "Yes " "Why did you break it off?" "We differed about a good many things " After a long battle the prosecuting attorney was allowed to show that fol lowing the breaking off of her relations with Singleton she bad been a witness against him in an assault and battery ease and had testified to his violence of temper The dispute took so long that there was only time for her cross examination. The effect of the evi dence so far was distinctly bad for Singleton. His attorney, a young and intelligent Jew, cross examined Mrs. Sloaue. Attorney For the Defense —Did you ever write a letter to the defendant Mrs. Sloane. threatening him if he did not marry you? "1 do uot recall such a letter." "Is this letter in your writing?" "I think so. Yes." "Mrs. Sloane. you testify that you 'opened your door and saw' Mr. Vail and the captain taking Mr. Turner to his room. Is this correct?" "Yes." "Why did they take him—l mean was he uot able apparently to walk alone?" Hon.

WALL, Agent, <th & Cumberland Sts. Hairisburg, Pa. »oth Phonw "He was able to walk. They walked beside him." "In your testimony, taken at the time and entered in the ship's log. you say you "Judged by the sounds.' Here you sh.v you 'opened the door and saw then).' Which is correct?" "1 saw theui." "You say that Mr. Singleton said he wished to 'get at' the captain. Are those his exact words?" "1 do not recall his exact words." "Perhaps 1 can refresh your uiind. With the permission of the court I shall read from the ship's log this wo inau's statement, recorded by the man who was in charge of the vessel and therefore competent to make such rec ord and sigued by the witness as hav ing been read and approved by her: " 'Mr. Singleton said that he hoped the captain would come, as he and Mr. Turner only wanted a chance to get at him. • • • There was a sound outside, and Karen thought it was Mr. Turner failing over something and said that she hoped she would not meet him. Once or twice when he had been drink ing he had made overtures to her. and she detested him. • • • she opened the door and came back iuto the room, touching me on the arm. "That beast is out there," she said, "sitting on the companion steps, if he tries to stop me I'll call you."' " The reading made a profound impres sion. The prosecution, having suc ceeded in having the log admitted as evidence, had put a trump card in the hands of the defense. "What were the relations between Mr. Turner and the captain?" "I don't know what you mean." "Were they friendly?" "No; not very." "Did you overhear on the night of Aug. 9 a conversation between Mr.. Turner and Mr. Vail?" "Yes." "What was its nature?" "They were quarreling " "What did Williams, the butler, give l you to hide that night?" "Mr. Turner's revolver." "What did he say when he gave it to you?" "He said to throw it overboard or. there would be trouble." "Mrs. Sloane. do you recognize these two garmeuts?" He held up a man's dinner shirt and a white waistcoat. The stewardess, who had been calm enough, started and paled. "I cannot tell without examining them." They were given to her. and j ■she looked at them. "Yes. 1 have seen them." "What are they?" "A shirt and waistcoat of Mr. Tur- j uer's." "When did you see them last?" "I packed them in my trunk when j we left the boat. They had been for- | gotten when the other trunks w ere! packed." "Had you washed them?" "No." "Were they washed on shipboard?" "They look like it. They have not ' been ironed." "Who gave them to you to pack in i your trunk?" "Mrs. Johns."
