It n lates ilie e 1 perieaee of iho lav yer for the pi' secution in the roma ksbH case of Warren ' titurgii, tried twenty-five j ears ago the mur der of his nil -le, holomon Stuig s, a wealthy resident of Dixon, 111) Fatigued in mind »nd body, sorely perplexed by the intricate character of the conflicting testimony to wh ch 1 hud listened, I left the Dixon Court J louse at 5 o'clock and went to a restaurant for a cup of coffee. I could not withdraw my mental fac ult es from the conflict of the day, nor lose for a moment the sad, re proachful naze of the prisoner. I had felt almost a vengeful spirit at first, because of the unusual atrocity ! of the circumstan c Let me detail Uiern as brie y as possible. Warren Sturyis was a youner man «rho had nrown up n the town, and was well liked, albeit he had a quick temper,iwh ch accompanies a warm, generous dispos tion. If he ofTended anyone in hi-; anger, be asked for giveness as soon as li s anger had cooled, lie was open and above board in all his dealings, and although t'NTI JJ HALF TIIIC VILLAGE STOOD BY IMS BEDSIDE. he had not distinguished himself by the accomplishment of any energetic work in his twenty-four years, he had not been an idler. It was acknowl edged on all sides that his uncle, for i whose dastardly murder he was being tried, had been really an impediment to the.young man's success Old Mr. Sturgis had kept the boy dandling about him, waiting on him, and studying how to humor lm caprices. The old man had aJso kept him well under, and nagged him onstantiy, interfering with lii> nleasures and unsettling him iu his business: and Jt was said by the old housekeeper, who was the only other inmate of the house, and almost in her dotage, that they quarreled every night but made up the next morning. Old Solomon Sturgis was not on speaking terms witli his only brother, j many years younger than himself, and when he was dead ir, was found that he had not mentioned him in h:s will, but left all bus estate without reserve to Warren St urgis. his nephew* The manner of t ie old man's death was bungling and frightful. The housekeeper testified to hearing a noise in the night She said the uncle and nephew had quarreled as , usual, and she heard the young man say, "I'll get even with you yet," as he went up stairs to liis room. Later on, she had heard Miunds of strange imp rt, doors open and shut, but had felt no alarm, supposing it was War ren going in an 1 out. Young Murgis claimed that iie had heard nothing, hut swore be slept soundly the whole night, not awa v ing in tho morning unt 1 half the vil lage stood by bis bedside to tell him that his uncle had been found dead, j murdered, and bis Uidy thrown into i well which was common property vith the neighbors. '•Dead!" The boy flung himself Into his clothe* and would have rushed from the room but the detain ing hand of the 1 eputy Mieriif pre vented him. "It's only a matter of form. Warren: we none of us believe you had any thing to do with it," he said, but he slipped the handcuffs on him as he said it. The truth was, everybody believed hiui guilty, because there had been no ro bery, and he was the only one to whom the old man's death would be a L. netlt, and it was supposed that he had struck and killed him in a temper, and then thrown the boclv into the well to make it look like .;u accident. The horrible mutilation of the dead man's face, which made :t almost unrecog- i ni/able, was supposed to be due to abrasions received in the well. Al- IHNN, 11A RN KI T '().. X. TIIURSDA V.

His sweetheart was one: a few of his vo ing friends and mi'self, the lawyer for the prosecution, who had a long , familiarity with criminal tactics 1 hesitated and doubted be cause of the lack of any but circum stantial evidence and also from a careful study of the young man h'm selr. If he had committed the crime, j WOMAX IN' lIf.ACK ADVANCING TO ' j SPEAK TO ME. he was also capable of plaving the hypocrite, but It seemed to me that his sorrow over the death of his rela tive was sincere. "Poor old man," he would say, "who could have borne him such a grudge? I did not knew that he had an enemy in the world!" The defense was conducted by a law>er retained by the brother of the murdered man, who seemed to hold no ill will to the nephew-heir. lie did not believe the young man guilty and said so in a very impressive man ner. 1 had been making my speech to the jurv, addressing each man in turn, as was customary in our prac tice. but I had made no attempt at oratory or sensation, asking them to weigh the evidence well, taking into consideration all the attendant cir- I eumstances, and to deal justly with | the prisoner, if they believed him guilty. I'erhaps it was my quiet manner | that impressed them, but 1 felt when 1 finished that I had convicted the prisoner, that their \erdict would, without doubt. I e "guilty of murder in the first degree," and I was for once sorry to see the ends of justice served, and that brings me to my cup of coiTee md my retrospect of the j Sturgis murder. It was darK when I left the restau- ! rant or nearly so, but still light enough for me to see a woman in black advancing to speak to me as 1 : walked homeward. "You aie Lawyer H ?" she said. , "1 have something to say to you." "My good woman," I answered fiet fu'ly, "l cannot be stopped upon the street to attend to business. If you i wish to see me you can do so to-mor row at my room in the Court House." "I must see you to night," she re plied. Her voice was low, and she : seemed to suffer from fatigue as she spoko. "Can you not give me a mo ment at your house?" "Not a moment," 1 said firmly, j "I need rest and must not be dis- j ttirbed. Good-night, madam, and I walked on. 1 went home to my dinner alone—l was a bachelor then—and Jay down (in a lounge in my private otlice for tne rest 1 sorely needed. In a few moments 1 lost consciousness and be- 1 gan to dream. 1 thought a bird was ; flying alout, me; that I caught it and thrust it from the window, which I closed, that it began tapping on the pane with its bill in a regular succes sion of raps that sounded now near, now far. It annoyed me enough to waken me, and there were the raps continued, on the window and door, and all around me. I started to my feet with a distin t sensation of fear, and for a moment expected to see my dream-bird flying towards me Then a hesitating knock on the panels of ( the street door gave me a sense of re lief. Here was something tangible: the rest 1 had dreamed. 1 opened the door and saw the woman who 1 had accosted me on the street. "Ueally, madam." I began, when she held up her hand to invoke si- 1 lence. "Hush: I come to you on a matter of life and death. You must hear me." and she quietly entered the room before I could close the door, it instantly occurred to me that this , woman knew something about the murder of old Solomon Sturgis. "I must hasten —I have only a mo- ; ment," she said. "I came here to , tell you that Warren Sturgis is not a murderer. He is innocent of the deed of which he is accused." "Your proof, madam." I answered; "proof is what we need, not asser tions of bis innocence." "You shall have ample proof," she I >aid slow y, "you have only to go to the home of Clifford Sturgis and i order him to produce his brother Solomon, and you will have the proof." "What do you mean?'- "That Solomon Sturgis is not dead, but held a prisoner i»»• the house of his brother," "Then who was the dead man?" "That I do not know; but I have no time to talk further. What I tell you is true Open the door and let* me pass." Her voice became so laint, it was it mere breath. As I stepped forward to open the door at her whispered but imperative command, 1 said: •'lf this story is true, it is of the I greatest importance, and I must see voti again immediately. Who are you?" "I am Warren Stuigis' mother." 1 And then I do not know what hip pened. It was as if someone had struck me a violent blow. Lights flashed before my eyes: there was a roar of surging waters la uiy ears: ITIOVE ALL THINGS, AND HOLD FAST TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD the door had not opened, yet I waa in the room with these words beat ng at my conscience: "I am Warren Sturgis' mother." Then followed a peaceful blank. My man found me lying there insen sible and opened the door to give me air. He had seen no woman although he had remarked on hearing voces in my orticc. I dismis.-ed him and went to bed, declaring that I was overworked, and had in consequence a fainting fit. Hut to myself the whole thing was an awful mystery. The singular behavior of that strange woman: my dream which nad pie ceded her coming, her remarkable - story, and the manner of her leaving—was it all a part of my dream? And ruoie strange, more fearful still, the disclosure of her , identity. For this woman, whom I i seemed to have known was the coun terpart of her whom she declared herself to be, a d I know for a cer tainty that the mother of Warren Sturgis has lain in her grave for six or eight years. If 1 had been talking with her, 1 had held speech with a dead woman. I tossed and turned I until midnight, then I routed up my man, bade him harness a swift horse to a light wagon, and soon we were speeding over the road in the direc tion ot Grand La Tour. It seemed a long time before I stopped the flying horse at the farm gate, and was wrapping at the front door of the one-story ot.tage, where a singlf light burned dimly. "What's wanted?" asked a trem filing voice—the voice of Clifford Stur gis liiniseif. I told him who I was and to my surprise he readily opened the door, and listened to what I had to say. It was very brief. I ordered him as one in authority, and whose information;could not be disputed, to pioduce the living man, Solomon Sturgis, He only asked one question: "How did you know he was here?" "A woman told rue," I answered with a solemn voice and manner. "Oh, then you have seen her?" h said, and with that he took up thf light in his trembling hand, and led ! the way to a room in a d stant wing of the cottage. It was a good hiding place, dust and cobwebs everywhere, and among them in a small closet like room, but comfortable enough ir. other respects, lay Solomon Sturgis, raging like a madman. Clifford Sturgis, as we soon found out: had abduct d his brother, and substituted the body of a dead pauper, which he had dressed in his relative's clothes, in order to secure the payment of an "YOU SHALL HAVE AMPLE PROOF," SHE SAID. | insurance policy which he had helc for many years on the old man's life. He became tired of keeping the as sessments paid and with the help of a stronger mind had evolved the plan of abduction and apparent murder. Hut it had never oc urred to him i that Warren miiht 1 e accused of put ting his uncle out of the way. He found himself caught in a network ol crime, and it is doubtful if he would ever have confessed his part in the matter if the boy had been convicted. There was a sensation, you may be j sure, when Solomon Sturgis was led into the Dixon Court House, and every one received him as one raised from the dead. There was no one to call Clifford Sturgis to account, save his outraged relatives, and he left that part of the country unmolested, and was heard of no more. Warren continued to live with bi& uncle, and when he married h a fa th lul sweetheart they maue their home there. The old man is dead now, and his strange story almost forgot ten, but 1 ask myself, twenty-five years after the event, who was the woman who came to me bearing the form and features of one long dead? Was she a part of my dream, and if so, whence came the dream that saved a man's life? And had I dreamed of seeing her on my way home, as well?— Mrs. M. L. Kayne ic I'tica Globe. = Diplomatic Knglfsh.
