"Yes.", For he was ready to go on and ex plain that his son had a weakness; for assuming the guilt of others. He was i cady to tell how his boy had confessed to a crime which he hadn't committed, the conv4ctloa of which would have meant eight or more' years in Sing Sing. The authorities that time discovered the deceit, how ever, and saved him. Hut this time, in the courtroom in Jersey City, the father never got tin*' chance to explain.
