Lad been found in the dregs. Agatha :
Drew, his niece, was being examined.
"Have you been brought up to con
eider yourself your uncle's heiress':"
"I have."
' "Had any one else hope of Inheriting
the property?" j
"Ves, my cousin. Mark Turner! Ha
would have been the heir, but myj
HncU had seen very little of him, while)
he had adopted me when I was a
child." I
"Did you ha vp any trouble with your
uncle?" j
"Only in one matter, lie wanted ma'
to marry my cousin, Mark Turner. I
refused, whereupon my undo throat-
ened to disinherit me and leave bis'
property to Mark." j
Every one in the court room nerutiniz-i
od the witness. 1)0 might have had
every reason to commit the murder. 1
Yet her appearance was so innocent
and her words wore so frank that few!
believed she was the guilty .one. The
next witness was Kdward Turner's '
(the deicased'p1 lawyer. j
"When did you see Edward Turner
last?" j
"On Friday three days ago. He
t'r.iied me in to make a new will. His
property had been willed to his niece,
Agatha Drew. I drew a new wiH.
which was executed In favor of Mark
Turner." N ,
"Is that will the la lest T s
"The latest to my knowledge."
"Did any one know of this change of
will?"
"I think not. Mr. Turner strictly
charged me not to speak of it. There
fore he probably did li"t speak of it
himself, lie told me his niece knew
that If she persisted in a certain mar
riage and refused to marry her cousin
she would be disinherited, but she did
not know the will bad been changed." :
"Call Elliot Stanford."
A young man of prepossessing ap
pearance stepped to the witness stand.
"Are yon acquainted with any rea- f
son why any person should desire tho j
late Edward Turner's death?" (
"No.1
"What were his relations with his
nephew, Mark Turner?' J
"Kecentljthey must have been very t
Intimate, for Edward Turner listened j
to many stories Mark Turner told him j
to my disadvantage." i
"What motive had Mark Turner for
this?" " I
"To marry Agatha Drew, I being 1
out of the way."
This did not carry much weight.
Since a will had been made leaving the
property to Mark Turner he could have

The witness stepped Into the box ap
parently very tiiueli seU possessed. -He
Lad been csaniined as to his location
fit the, time of the nmnl.-r and had
proved that within a few Minnies be
fore and efter the murder be was In
bis elub, a snort distance from UU
uncle's li0U;'.
"Mr. Turner, I'rot'.'ssor W'aiivn, a
chemist, desires to ask yon a few ques
tions." "Mr. Turner." said the professor,
looking tli witness In the eye, "have
yu any knowledge of the properties of

"None whatever."
"How Ion? would it take yoa to jro
from your club to your uncle's bouse?"
"About five minutes, I think."
"And to return would tie ten. Now,
prussie add acts Instantly."
"I object!" Interrupted a lawyer pres
ent whom Turner had retained.
"Mr. Turner, did you not as a child
have an accident by which half an
Inch was cut oiT your thumb?"
i "I did."
, "Hold it up and let us see it."
i The witness, who was now Retting
i nervous, did us required. The first
joint of the thumb on bis right hand
! was niissiiijj.
"Here," said the chemist, "is n silver
stand on which rested a silver tempo t,
which was before the deceased when
be was found dead. It Lad been pol
ished during the afternoon. Now. if I

the stand blurred, but. breathing upon
It and examining the part with n mag

An the speaker approached the climax
the witness began to show signs of a
; terrible ctrain and at the last word fell
i over In a b'ap.
This ended the investigation. It came
tut that Edward Turner, after making
a new Will, bad informed bis nephew
of the fact, telling him at the same
time that he thought be should destroy
the new one and leave the old one in
force. Turner called on him, . found
Win taking a cup of tea with no one
In the house.' put the poison in the cup
when the old man's back was turned
and got back to his club, from which
he was not missed, all within fifteen
minutes. .
The will stood in favor of the mur
derer, but as Agatha was the only oth
er and legitimate heir she finally got
the property.

the negro, backing Into the doorway of
bis own quarters, held a crowd of
2i men and boys at bay until
I'atrolman Robert Mooney walked up
to hi in and took away bis weapon.
Then came the second and exeping
attempt of the mob to wreak venge
ance on the murderer. Mooney opened
the door and took his prisoner Into the
ofliee of the tile factory In which
Rrinkley was employed to await the
patrol wagon. Rut as he did so ib 1
crowd surged forward once more wilh
cries of "Lynch Mm. lynch iiim! Cet
a rope!" The policeman tried in vain
to close the door -on the crowd and
keep it dosed, but even with the as
sistance of the now territi-nl murderer
it was useless. While Mooney was
thus struggling Rrinki.'v tuni -d 'ar.d
tied from the otSice by the rear door.
The mob saw the eseape. and, headed
by Mooney, streamed down an alley in
pursuit. The negro ran several b!-.;-:
before he was finally oertak,.,n. '1 lc

crowd. A teamster jumped from his
wagon and began lashing the n v"''o
across the face with his whip, the vic
tim being held the while by a dor-.en
men and boys. It was only by a des
perate rush that four policemen seized
the negro and succeeded In dragging
him to the patrol wagon. Then, fol
lowed by a few parting missiles, the
horses were whipped up and the res
cued prisoner whirled to the police sta
tion. None of the rioters was arrested.
McCarthy's family is left destitute by
his death. The killing grew out of a
quarrel in which McCarthy had ac
cused Rriuklrty of stealing chickens
from his premises.

upon the .detNion of Empire Wright,
giving them the right to discharge em

officials of the' I'uited Mine Workers
claim that the privilege given to the
employers is likely to be abused by
mine foremen who. acting upon in
structions from headquarters, enn make
it very unpleasant for the men who
were active in the last strike.
The suiorintoudcnt of one of the

of the union miners. ' He points out
that 00 per cent of the petty strikes

crease that the miners received was
denied and the complaint of the men
that they did not get the full award hi
wages was overruled. Regarding dis
crimination and blacklisting, Mr.
Wright believes that ail who have not
offended with criminal Intent or are
not Incompetent should be reinstated.
Of the right to discharge men Mr.
Wright says: "There can be no doubt
that a man has the right to quit the
service of his employer whenever he
sees fit, with or without giving any
cause, provided he gives proper no
tice, and that the employer has a per
fect right to employ and discharge
men hi accordance with the conditions
of his industry: that he is not obliged
to give a cause for discharge, but that
he should, as in the reverse case, give
proper notice.
"This right of discharge must, there
fore, be sustained. Any other view of
the case would result in compelling
men to work' for an employer when
they did not wish to and thus enslave
them, while, on the other hand, it
would compel employers to employ
men whether they had work for them
or not and whether the men were In
competent or not and would thus stag
nate business and work to the injury
of all other employees. All discharges.
as all quittals. should be made on a
reasonable basis, and employer and
employee should treat each other with
justice and with a desire to preserve
peace."
