As her husband passed tho door she had looked at tho marble clook on the mantol-sholf and noticed that it was thir teen minutos after 5. Mr. Peterson was a very methodical man and invarinbly came in at 5 sharp. It was tho delay that mado his wife remember the time so accurately. Mrs. Peterson told the polico aftorwards that she thought her husband carried a small package when he went upstairs, but she was not sure of it. Mrs. Peterson's visitor left for home at 6.80, and Mrs. Peterson went to tho nursery to see if Blanche and Harry were getting ready for dinner. Then she went to her own room to , k ilrons. At 0.15 a chambermaid coming downstairs saw standing in the hallway a very stout man, about whoso shouldors was thrown a red table cover. Sho screamed, and the stout man, who appeared to be on his way to tho front door, quickened his steps, drew back the bolts as readily as though ho had been accustomed to them, and went out. ThiB was all that the polico could learn from the family of what had happened bofore the disappearance of Mr. Peterson was dis covered. The appearance of tho stout visitor In tho hall alarmed tho chambermaid, who ran at once to the kitchen, whero sho spoke of him to tho cook. The two womon hurried to the basement door and looked up and down tho street. Tho stout man was not in sight. Tho dining-room silver was all right and nothing had been disturbed in tho parlor. Tho cook went back to tho kitchen and tho chamber maid hurried upstairs again to Mrs. Peter son's room, where Bhe related what sho had seen. " It was plain that a visitor would not call arrayed in a tablo cover," Mrs. Petorson said, and she did not have any acquaint ance answering to tho stout man's descrip tion. So she put on a wrapper and went to tell Mr. Peterson about it. Tho library door opened readily. Tho aroplight was burning, and its green shade did not make the room look very cheerful. Mr. Peterson was not there. Uis overcoat and hat were on tho lonnge, and on thefloor in front of tho mirror, between the two bookcases opposite the door, lay some frag. snents of glass and a piece of rubber tubing. tbere were drops of blood on the floor, uud a blood-stained handkerchief lay on a chair. .-tus red tablo cover that had been on tho , blglibrary ta bio was missing. A The story told by Mrs. Peterson when tho 1 police arrived was that sho was startled but I not particularly ahmuod. Bho thought her I husband might have gone to some other I room. But after the house had been searched I and no truce of him found, then sho was I nearly frightened ,to death, and would havo died if tho chambermaid had not promptly I U'ivon her brandy. I up0 detectives, who carefully searched tho Ubrary, found a rumpled shoot of wrapping. vl paper and a pieco of blue cord under Mr. Peterson's overcoat. It was not there boforo Mr. Peterson came in. They put tho frag ments of glass together and became satisfied that thoy had formed a bottle, and that tho rubber tube had fitted to the bottle's mouth. They were unable to decide what had been in tho bottle. The piece of -tubing, frag ments of glass, wrapping.paper and bluo cord were put carefully by as clues which might bo usod Inter. The blood-stained handkerchief was also saved. Tho detectives examined every member of tho household. Tho chambermaid's state ment was taken down in writing. She said that the stout man was quite tall and must have weighed a great deal yes, he might have weighed 200 pounds, as near as she could judge. Ho didn't have on any hat, and she couldn't describe his clothing becauso ho was wrapped up in the table cover. Yes, she was sure that it was the cover of the library table. She had just caught a glimpse of his face, and would know him again, she thought. No ; she had never seen him before, andin dignantly denied that ho was a cousin or lover of hers. Tho detectives asked her if sho was suro that her stout man was not a thin man carrying Mr. Petorson (who was aUo thin) away with the table cover wrapped around them both. The girl said sho was sure that such was not the case. After this Mrs. Peterson was closely ques tioned as to her husband's habits. Did she think that ho had eloped with another woman ? Mrs. Peterson wept and said she was certain he had not. Had ho any bust, ness troubles ? No ; she was sure of that, too. His income, aside from his business, was large, and he had thought of retiring. There was no insanity in his family. Tho detectives asked her for a photograph of her husband, and, after she had given it to them, they asked for his height, color of hair, and oyes. weight, and for any marks or peculiarities by which he might be identified. Ileforo they went away they instructed Mrs. Peterson not to give any information to the press ahput tho absent man, or to tell any thing except that Mr. Peterson was missing. That, of course, was necessary. They believed that a great crimo had been committed, and they would bring the guilty to justice. Secre. cy, howevor, wasabsolutely necessary. Would she offer a reward for her husband's recovery t How much ? Five hundred dollars would he sufficient. This advertisement appeared in half a dozen papers on the morning following Mr. Peterson's disappearance : QK(li BJBWARD for .nf Information of th. tptl'" wberetbouU of Andrew r.torMQt 84 r.irf old ; b.Ubt, 6 feet 11 IncbMi brown balri era ejM; roootb lac i be welbed 130 pound, and looked Terr lender wore . diagonal frock ooat end Teat and dark striped troaaere. At the bottom of the advertisement was the naino and address of Mr. Peterson's lawyer. A large number of reporters called on the lawyer that day and evouing. and they also visited Mrs. Peterson at her home. The in structions of the defectives in regard to details were carried out, and all the informa tion that could be obtained from the lawyer or family was that Mr. Peterson bad dieap. peared. One enterprising reporter, however, who had been unable to get auy information at the upstairs door, camo back an hour later, and knocked at the basemont door. The cook opened it. He did not ask her any questions at first, but finally brought the dis appearance of Mr. Peterson into the conver sation. He didn't appear a bit anxious to know about it. A f ov judicious compliments made the cook his friend, and she invited him into the kitchen to have a cup of tea. There ho confided to her that he was a re porter, but that it should never bo known that she had told him about Ms. Peterson's absence. The cook hadn't told him yet. but. of course, she imagined that she had, and after making him solemnly promise never to say that she had spoken, rattled off all that she know and what she bad beard. When the young man said that he would have to go, the cook shook bands with him with warmth, and said that she wonld be pleased to have him drop In after 8.30 any evening and take a friendly cup of tea, which was of the best. The reporter went to work with a will, and on the following morning, under tho head of " Is It a Murder?" printed a two-column story about the disappearance of Mr. Peter son, in which the stout man and the library tablo cover took an important part. All tho other papers were beaten on the story, so. according to the acceptod code, they denied it the day after. Then something happened that startled the town, and backed up tho re porter who had given the "beat" to his paper. The stout man was found and arrested. It was on Monday evening that Mr. Peter sou disappeared, and no tidings were re ceived or him on Tuesday or Wednesday. Mrs. Peterson, prostrated by the shock, had been ordered by her physician to keep her bed. The two detectives alone had been allowed to see her. She was a young woman and had a strong constitution or she would have died, tho physician said, so great was her grief. On Thursday the air of awe which filled the house and mado everybody walk on tiptoe and speak in whispers began to lighten, The cook oven cons6uted to smile on the coudonsed.milkman and the chambermaid, who was fast beginning to recover from the effects of the examination to whioh sho had been subjected, said sho would venture out doors and sweep the sidewalk. She had swept out the area and was leaning on her broom to get a better view of a blue-eyed butoher boy who had just passed when she caught sight of a heavy man who was ad vancing towards her from tho opposite side of the street. Sho screamed so loudly that the butcher boy dropped his basket and ran towards hor. The stout man came nearor, too. Tho cham bermaid, a strong Irish girl, seemed to re cover at this. She threw both arms about the stout man's neck and cried out to the butcher boy : " Hun for a policeman, quick. I've got the fat man who stole away Mr. Peterson." The stout man struggled hard to break from the girl's embrace, but he could not. She had taken a hold to stay, and sho did. "Mary," he gasped. "I'm surprised at such conduct, and in the street, too. What would your mistress say if she should see you?" " And the villian knows my name," panted tho chambermaid, making her embrace around the stout man's neck all the tighter. "What'U me mistress say. Sure she'll say what have you done with Mr. Peterson." " Itidiculous," said tho stout man, "why Im It was at this moment that the butcher boy arrived with the policeman (Officer Muf vaney), who seized the stout man by tho col lar, clubbed him lightly, and then demanded what be meant by hitting the " gurrl." The chambermaid did not give the stout man or any one else a chance to say a word. Sho reeled off tho history of Mr. Peterson's disappearance with a rapidity that confused Officer Mulvaney, but ho, of course, had too much pride to snow it. One fact impressed him, however, and that was that the stout man was worse than the ordinary prisoner, bo he clubbed him again, but it is only fair to say, not very hard. Then he told tho chambermaid to come to the Police Court at 8 o'clock the next morning, and dragged the stout man off to the lock-up. He flung open the station-house door, shoved the Btout man in front of tho Ser geant's desk and said : " Kidnapper." Tho Sergeant opened the blotter and' pro ceeded to take the stout man's pedigree. " What is your name ?" he inquired. " Andrew Peterson," said the prisoner. " That's the namo of the man I've arrested him for kidnapping," interrupted the police man. " Shut up, will you," politely interposed the Sergeaut, who happened to have been at the desk when Mr. Peterson's disappearance was first reported. " Let me get his pedi gree." In answer to other questions, the stout man said he was thlrty.four years old, was a com mission merchant, born in New York, was married and had a wife and two children. For his residence be gave the address of Mr. Andrew Peterson. " You say yon are Mr. Andrew Peterson." said the Sergeant. " May bo you will oxploin lygySiMaMiiJialiafiar-'- ' 'nfif. how it is that you, who are very big and stout, can be Mr. Peterson, who was very light and thin. Why, man, you weigh a hundred pounds moro than Mr. Peterson." Then the Sergeaut, who was a very fair man, sent the prisoner down to a cell with out asking him any questions which might tend to criminate him or do him injury on his trial. " I think it's a clear enso of murder," ho said to the doorman. "He's tho most hard ened scamp I ever met." Being a fair-minded man, however, he only put down on tho blotter, "Suspicious person." On the dav following the arrest of the stout man a "body was found in the rivor. Tho fibh had been at it so that it was unrec ognizable. Several friends of Mr. Peterson, who wero taken to look at it by tho polico, said that thoy could nut positively identify it. ThiB was enough for the detectives. They couldn't swear that it was not Mr. Peterson's body. The next day a number of papers printed that Mr. Peterson's body had been found, and that he had undoubtedly been carried to tho rivor and thrown in. The stout man was indicted under the name of John Doo for murdering Mr. Peter, son. Some thought be had gone a little de mented after committing the murder (tho general opinion was that he had committod it), and that the name of his victim being constantly in his mind, had caused him to say that it was his own name. The polico laughed at this. It was pure nerve, thoy said. Ho knew that they were after him, and that he couldn't escape any way, so ho pretended that he was Mr. Peterson, so as to work the insanity dodgo on the jury and get off that way. What tho prisoner had said since his ar rival and who he really was had not been let out by the police, even if they knew anything, whioh was doubted. Tha news paper reporters worked like beavers, but learned little. Tho young man who had interviewed the cook was again a little more successful than the others. He learned that a Btout man, wrapped in a red tablo cover, had called at a second-hand clothing storo and bought a suit of clothes there. Tho clothes he had on woro much too small for him and wero ripped in all the seams. Ho bought u hat, too. Ho left the table cover in tho btore and said he would call for it later. He also put on the suit ho bad bought and told tho dealer that he might keep tho old clothes. Then the stout man went away. The dealer said that he seemed much agi tatod and was blaeding from a wound In his hand. After this all trace of tho stout man was lost uutil his arrest. Tho police read about the clothing and tablo cover being in the second-hand clothing store, and went there and got thorn. The cover was identified of that of tho library table, and tho clothing as that worn by Mr. Peterson when lie disappeared. The trial of the stout man was awaited with im- atlence. John Doo, as the stout man was now called in the newspapers, appeared to be entirely without friends, and a young lawyer was assigned by the Court to defend him. It was an interesting caso, and tho lawyer, who was both bright and ambitious, determined to make a reputation for himself if he could. After his first interview with tho stout man he seemed pale and worried. He had just seated himself in Ills ofllco when tho reporter who had interviewed the cook called. The lawyer knew him well, for they had been college mates. " I'm glad to see youi" ho said. "I'm the most mystified man in tho world." " I'm glad to see you, too," said tho re porter. You're assigned as Doe's counsel in tho Peterson murder cose, and I waut to talk to you about it." " And I want to talk to you about it, too," said the lawyer, " Hut, understand, what I'm going to tell you now is not for publica tion. Later it may bo used, but not at present." The young lawyer wiped big drops of per piration from his forehead and continued: " I have just come from interviewing Doe. It was the first timo that I had bad an oppor tunity of talking to him. Ho was sitting on the cot in his cell, and a sadder-looking man I never saw. I explained to him that I was his counsel and had called to map out a Hue of defonso. I assured him that anything ho might say would bo hold in strict confl. dence. Ho considered for a few minutes And Hi on said: "'PorhapsI had bettor tell yon all the circumstances.' "'Then,' I indiscreetly interrupted, ' you know something about tho death of Mr. Peterson? ' ' I do not know anything about Mr. Peter sou's death,' he went on almost solemnly. 'He is not dead. I am Andrew Peterson, and am alive, as you can Bee.' "My impression was," the lawyer con tinued, " that tho man was crazy or a knave. On tho latter supposition, I told him that it was hard to believe that he could be Mr. Peterson when ho was not a bit liku him, and there was such an enormous difference in their weights. I said that it would bo wiser on tho trial to adopt somo other lino of do. fense thun that. In my opinion it seemed tho best courso to deny that a murder had taken placo, and force the prosecution to provo that Mr. Peterson was dead. They could not prove that tho body found waB his, and there was nothing to show that ho had been made away with. It seemed to mo doubtful if any jury could find a vordict for murder unless they were pretty suro that a murder hud been committed." Tho young lawyer wiped his brow again and drew a long breath. " What happened noxt," ho wont on, " was startling. The man got up from the cot and paced restlessly up and down tho jail corri dor for a few moments. Then ho came into the cell ugaiu and sat down. "'I wonder,' ho lemarked, absently, 'if ever before n man was charged with having murdered himself and stood in danger of be ing hanged for it. Now,' ho added, after a moment's thought, ' I am going to toll you the whole story. It isn't a very probablo talo, I own ; nor is it one that I should myself be llkelv to buliove if auy one told it to me. But,' he said, earnestly, ' I assure you that it is true.' " Ho picked up a newspaper from tho cell floor, and showed mo in It a pfcttiro of Mr. Peterson, his description and tho reward. " ' Please read that description.' he said, ' and then look carefully at the picture. Do fore I go into details I intend to call your attention to a few facts that may make my story moro probable.' "Ho waited patiently while I read, and when I raised my eyes ho stood up and baid : " ' The description says that Mr. Potursuii was flto feet cluven iuches tall. Such 1b my height, as you may observe. Thirty-four ytarsold. I look that age, do I not? IJrovwi hair and gray eyes. Minn answer these.' " ' Yes,' I interrupted. ' But ho weighed 130 pouudB and you weigh over 200 pounds.' " ' I am coming to that,' ho said. ' Have putienco. LooU at tho picture carefully and tell mo, if tho faci were fresher, would It not look liko mine. Do you uot detect the resem blance in tho features.' " I looked carefully and had to confess that I did." " Itemarkable," wild the reporter, who had a theory of liis own regarding tho rase. " This is nothing," continued the lawyer, again mopping his forehead, on which cold sweat stood, " to what ho said later. Ho had grown excited and agaiu paced tho corridor. When he hud calmed down ho returned uud went on with his narrative. " ' I am Andrew l'etersou,' ho said onco more ' I was an only child, uud. my parents being wealthy, I hud evervthiug that ought to luivomademe hanpy. Hut I was not happy. Other children wero plump and healthy look ing, but I was olwuys thin. At school my fellow pupils called mo Skinny, Skinny Andy, or Skinny Peterson. I wus a strong boy and healthy enough, but there wus little flesh on my bones. I tried hard to grow stout, but ft was useless. I ate oatmeal und corn hominy, but thoy did no good. " I felt that I was doomed to remain thin, and tried to bo cheerful, I succeeded iu a measure as I grew older, but occasionally there would como upon me a longing to be stout, that made me miserable Indeed" Concluded To-morrow Evtninj.
