"What is your verdict?" asked Jus

There was an instant of absolute

"Not guilty." said Buckin.
Mrs. De Saulles went limp. Her
head drooped. Then she rallied again.
She smiled and extended her hand to

Her sister, her brother and her
maid, Susanne Monteau, hurried to
her side. As the last of the jurors
departed she turned her back on the
room in which she had made her
fight for life and stepped into the
court house corridor. Half a dozen
