CHAPTER XVII.V The news that Judge Brewster would appear for the defendant at the spproachlng trial of Howard Jeffries went through the town like wildfire, and caused an immediate revival' in the public interest, which was begin ning to Blacken for want of hourly stimulation. Rumor said-that there had been a complete reconciliation in the Jeffries family, that the banker was now convinced of his son's inno cence, and was determined to spend a fortune, if necessary, to save him. This and other reports of. similar nature were all untrue, but the Judge let them pass without contradiction. They were harmless, he chuckled, and 1 anything, helped Howard's cause. Meantime he himself had not been Idle. "When once he made up his mind to do a -thing he was not con tent with half measures. Night and say he worked on the case, preparing evidence, seeing witnesses' and ex perts, until he had gradually built up a bulwark of defense which the police would find difficult to tear down. ' Tet he was not wholly reas sured as to the outcome until Annie, the day following the interview in his office, informed him breathlessly that she had found the mysterious woman. The Judge was duly elated; now it was plain sailing, Indeed! There had always been the possibility that How ard's confession to the police was true, that he had really killed Under wood. But now they had found the one important witness, the mysteri ous woman wh -was In the apart ment a few minutes before the shoot ing aad who was in possession of a letter in which Underwood declared his ' intention of shooting himself, ioubt was m longer possible. Acquit tal was a foregone conclusion. So pleased waa the Judge at Annie's find that he did not Insist on knowing the woman's name, lie saw that Annie - ; r ho j V preferred, lor some reason, not to give it even to her legal adviser and he let her have her way, exacting only that the woman should be produced the Instant he needed her. The young woman readily assented. Of course, there remained the "confession," but that had been obtained unfairly, il legally, fraudulently. The next impor tant step was to arrange a meeting at the Judge's house at which Dr. Bern stein, the hypnotic expert, would be present and to which should be invi ted both Capt. Clinff-n and Howard's father. In front of all these witnesses the judge would accuse the police cap tain of browbeating his prisoner into making an untrue confession. Per haps the captain could be argued into admitting the possibility of a mistake having been made. If, further, he could be convinced of the existence of doc umentary evidence showing that Un derwood really committed suicid6 fee might be willing to recede from bis position in order to protect himself. At any rate it was worth trying. The judge insisted, also, that to this meet ing the mysterious woman .witness should also come, to be produced at such a moment as the lawyer might consider opportune. Annie merely de manded a few hours' time so she could make the appointment and soon re turned with a solemn promise that the woman would attend the meet ing and come forward at" whatever moment called upon. Three evenings later there was an impressive gathering at Judge Brew ster's residence. In the" handsomely appointed library on the second floor were seated Dr. Bernstein, Mr. Jef fries and theJudg- Esch was ab sorbed in his own thoughts. Dr. Bern stein was puffing at a big black cigar; the banker stared vacantly into space. The judge, at his desk, examined some legal papers. Not a word was spo- Each Wat Absorbed In Hit Own Thoughts. ken. They seemed to be waiting for a fourth man who had not yet ar rived. Presently Judge Brewster looked up and said: ''Gentlemen, I expect Capt. Clinton in a few minutes, and the matter will be placed before yon." Mr. Jeffries frowned. It was great ly against his wish that he had been dragged to this conference. Peevish ly, he said: "I've no wish to be present at the meeting. You know that and yet you sent for me." Judge Brewster looked up at him quickly and said quietly yet de cisively: "Mr. Jeffries, it 1b absolutely nec essary that you be present when I tell -Capt. Clinton that he has either willfully or ignorantly forced your son to confess to having Committed a crime of which I am persuaded he is absolutely innocent." The banker shrugged his shoulders. "If I can be of service, of course, I I am only too glad but what can I say what can I do?" "Nothing," replied the Judge curtly. "But the moral effect of your presence is invaluable." More amiably he went on: "Believe me, Jeffries, I wouldn't have taken this step unless I was ab solutely sure of my position. I have been informed that Underwood com mitted suicide, and to-night evidence confirming this statement Is to be placed in my hands. The woman who paid him that mysterious visit Just before his death has promised to come here and tell us what she knows. Now, if Capt. Clinton can be got to admit the possibility of his being mistaken it means that your son will be free in a few'days." "Who has given you this informa tion?" demanded the banker skeptic ally. "Howard's wife," answered the Judge quietly. The banker started and the lawyer went on: "She knowt who the woman Is, and has promised to bring her here to-night with, docu mentary proof of Underwood's - sui cide." "You are depending on her?" he sneered. "Why not?" demanded the Judge. "She has more at stake than any of us. She has" worked day and night on this case. It was she who aroused Dr. Bernstein's interest and "persuad ed him to collect the evidence against Capt. Clinton." The banker frowned. "She Is the cause of the whole mis erable business," he growled.' The door opened and the butler, en tering, handed hit master a card. "Ah!" ejaculated the judge. "Here's eur man! Show him up." When the servant had disappeared Mr. Jeffries turned to his host. With ilil a show of irritation he said: "I think you put too much faith in that woman, but you'll find out you'll find out." Judge Brewster smiled. "That's our object, isn't it, Mr. 'Jef fries to find out?" he said sarcas tically. "Whrt'p the name of this mysteri ous witness?' exclaimed the banker testily. "If the police haven't beefr able to find her why should Howard's wife be able to do so? There was a report that she herself was " He paused and added, "Did she tell you who l wast" "No," said the Judge dryly, "she will tell us to-night." The banker bounded in his seat. "You'll see," he cried. "Another flash in the pan. I don't like being mixed up In this matter it's disagree able most disagreeable." Dr. Bernstein puffed a thick cloud of smoke into the air and said quietly: "Yes, sir; it Is disagreeable but ' unfortunately it is life." Suddenly the door opened and Capt. Clinton appeared, followed by his fidua Achates, Detective Sergeant Maloney. Both men were in plain clothes. The captain's manner was condescendingly polite, the attitude of a man so sure of his own position that he had little respect for the opinion of any one else. With an -effort at amiability he besnn: "Got your message, judge came -as soon as I could. Excuse my bringing the sergeant with me. Sit over there, Maloney." Half apologetically, he' j added "He keeps h:'3 eyes open and his mouth shut, eo lie won t mtenere. How do, doctor?" Maloney took a josition at the far end of the rcom, while Dr. Bernstein introduced the captain, to Mr. Jef fries. "Yes, I know the gentleman. How do, sir?" .The banker nodded stiffly. He did not relish having to' hobnob . In this way with such a vulgarianas a graft ing police captain. Capt. Clinton turned to Judge Brewster. "Now, judge, explode your bomb! But I warn you I've made up my mind." ' "I've made up my mind, too," re torted the judge, "so at least-we start even." "Yes," growled the other. "As I stated in my letter, captain,' went on the judge coolly, "I don't want to use your own methods in this mat ter. I don't want to spread reports about you, or accuse you in the pa pers. That's why I asked you to come over and discuss the matter informally with me. I want to give you a chance to change your attitude." "Don'tv want any chance," growled the policeman. "You mean," 'said the Judge, peering at his vis a vis over his spectacles, "that you don't want to change youf attitude." Capt. Clinton settled himself more firmly in his chair, as if getting ready for hostilities. Defiantly he replied: "That's about what I mean, I sup pose." "In other words," went on Judge Brewster calmly, Myou have found this this boy guilty and you refuse to consider evidence which may tend to prove otherwise." " 'Taln't my business to consider ev idence," snapped the chief. "That's up to the prosecuting attorney." "It will be," replied the lawyer sharply, "but at present It's up to tarou." ine surprise. "Yes,"- went on Judge Brewster calmly, "you were instrumental in ob taining a confession from him. I'm raising a question as to the truth of thatconfession." Capt. Clinton showed signs of im patience. Shrugging ills missive shoulders deprecatlngly, he said: "Are we going over all that? What's the use? A confession Is a confession and that settles it. I suppose the doc tor has been working his pet theory off on you and it's beginning to sprout." "Yes," retorted the judge quickly, "it's beginning to sprout, captain!" There was a sudden interruption caused by the entrance of the butler, who approached his master and whis pered something to him. Aloud the judge said: ' "Ask her to wait till we are ready." The servant retired and Capt. Clin ton turned to the judge. With mock deference, he said:- "Say, Mr. Brewster, you're a great constitutional lawyer the greatest in this country and I take off my hat to you, but I don't think criminal law is in your line." Judge Brewster pursed his lips and his eyes flashed as he retorted quickly: "I don't think It's constitutional, to take a man's mind away from him and substitute your own, Capt. Clin ton." "What do you mean?" demanded the chief. "I mean that Instead of bringing out of this man his own true thoughts of innocence, you have forced into his consciousness your own false thoughts of his guUt." The Judge spoke slowly and delib erately, making each word. tell. " The police bully squirmed uneasily on his chair. ' "I don't follow you, judge. Better stick to international law. This police court work is beneath you." "Perhapa it is," replied the lawyer quickly without losing his temper. Then he asked: "Captain, will you an swer a few questions?" "It all depends," replied the other Insolently. "If you don't," cried the Judge sharp ly, "I'll ask them " through the me dium of your own weapon the press. Only aiy press will not consist of the one or two yellow Journals you in spire, but the independent, dignified press of the United States." The captain reddened. V - 1 .""I don't like the insinuation, Judge." "I don't taainuate, Japt, Clinton,,, went on the lawyer severely, "I accuse you of giving an untruthful version of this matter to two sensational news papers in thia city. These scurrilou heets have tried this young man la their columns and found him guilty, thus prejudicing the whole community against him Jsef ore he comes to trial. ln no . other country in the civilized world would this be tolerated, except in a country overburdened with free dom." ' Capt. Clinton' laughed boisterously. 'The early bird catches the worm,"' he grinned. "They asked me for .in-, formation' and got it." Judge Brewster went on: "You have 6oprejudiced the com- munity against him that there is 'scarcely a man who doesn't believe him guilty. If this matter ever comes to trial how can we pick an unpreju diced Jury? Added to. this foul injus tice you have branded this young man's wife with every stigma that can be put on womanhood. You have hint ed that she is 'the mysterious female who visited Underwood on the night jof the shooting and openly suggested 'that she is the cause of the crime." "Well, it's just possible," said the policeman with effrontery. Judge Brewster was fast losing his temper. The man's insolent demean or was intolerable. Half rising from his chair and pointing his finger at him, he continued: "You have besmirched her character with stories of scandal. You hTrve linked her name with that of Under wood. The whole country rings with "You Have- Besmirched Her Character with Stories of 8candal." falsities about her. In my opinion, Capt. Clinton, your direct object it to destroy the value of any evidence she may give in her husband's favor." The chief looked aggrieved. "Why, 1 I haven't said a word." Turning to his sergeant, he asked: "Have I, Maloney?" "But these, sensation-mongers have!" cried the Judge angrily. "You are the only source from whom, they could obtain the information." "But what do I gain?" demanded the captain with affected innocence, "Advertisement promotion' re plied the judes sternly. 'These same papers speak of you as the greatest living . chief the greatest- public of ficial oh, you know the political value of that sort of thing as well as I do." - The captain shrugged his shoulders., "I can't help what they say about me," he growled. ' 'They might add that you are also the richest," added the judge quickly, "but I won't go into that." Again Capt. Clinton reddened and shifted restlessly on his chair. He did not relish the trend of the conversa tion. "I don't, like all this, Judge Brew ster 'tain't fair I ain't on trial." Judge Brewster picked up some pa pers from his desk and read fromtme of them. "Captain, in the case of the People against Creedon after plying the de fendant with questions for six hours you obtained a confession from him?" "Yes, he told me he set the place on fire." "Exactly but it afterward . de reloped that he . was never near the place." ' "Well, he told me." "Yes. He told you, but it turned out that he was mistaken." "Yes," admitted the captain reluc tantly. The Judge took another document, and read x "In the case of the People against Bertley." y "That was Bentley's own fault--I didn't ask him," Interrupted the cap tain. "He owned up himself." Turn ing to the sergeant, he said : "You were there, Maloney." ; "But you believed him guilty," in terposed Judge Brewster quickly. "Yes." "You thought him guilty and after a five-hour session you Impressed this thought on his mind and he he con fessed." ' - ... ' "I didn't-impress, anything I just simply" 7 1 "You just slmplyconvinced him that he was guilty though as it turned out he was in prison at the time he was supposed to have committed the burglary " . I "It wasn't burglary," corrected the captain sullenly. Judge Brewster again consulted the papers in his hand. "You're quite right, captain my mistake it was homicide, but it was an untrue confession." "Yes." "It was the same thing in the Cal lahan case," went on the Judge, pick ing up another document. "In the case of the People against Tuthill and . Cosgrove Tuthill confessed and died In prison, and Cosgrove afterward ac knowledged that he and not Tuthill was the guilty man." ( T "Well," growled the captain, "mis takes sometimes happen." Judge Brewster stopped and laid down his eyeglasses. "Ah, that is precisely the point of view we take In this matter I Now, captain, in the present case, on the night of the confession did you show young Mr. Jeffries the pistol with which he was supposed to have shot Robert Underwood?" Capt. Clinton screwed -up his eye3 as If thinking hard. Then, turning to his sergea'nt, he saidf ' ' . ' "Yes. I think I did. Didn't I, Maloney?"- . "Your word is sufficient," said the Judge quickly. "Did you hold it up? "Think I did." ' "Do yoa know If there was a light shining on it?" asked the Judge quickly. y- At this point, Dr. Bernstein, who had been an attentive listener, bent eagerly forward. Much depended on Capt. Clinton's answer perhaps a man's life. "Don't know might have been," re plied the chief carelessjy. Judge Brewster turned to Dr. Bern stein. "Were there electric lights on the wall?" - "Yes." '') -"'. . . . "What difference does that make?" demanded the policeman. . "Quite a little," replied the Judge quietly. "The barrel of the revolver, was bright shining steel. From the moment that Howard Jeffries' eyes rested on the shining steel barrel of that revolver he was no longer a con scious personality. As he himself said to his wife: 'They said I did it and I knew I didn't, but after I looked at that shining pistol I don't know what I said or did everything became a blur and a blank. Now, I may tell you, captain, that . this condition fits in every detail the clinical experiences of nerve specialists and the medical experiences of the psychologists. Aft er five hours' constant cross-questioning while in a semi-dazed condition, you impressed on him your own ideas you extracted from him not the thoughts that were in his own con sciousness, but those that were in yours. Is that the scientific fact, doc tor?" "Yes," replied Dr. Bernstein, "the optical captivation of Howard Jef fries' attention makes the whole case colmplete and clear to the physician." Capt. Clinton laughed loudly. "Optical captivation is good!" Turn ing to his sergeant he asked: "What o you think of that, Maloney?" Sergt. Maloney chuckled. "It's a new one, eh?" 1 "No, captain-frit's a very old one," interrupted the lawyer sternly, ""but it's new' to us. We're barely on the threshold of the discovery. It cer tainly n explains these other cases, doesn't it?" " "I don't know that it does," objeot ed the captain, shaking his. head. "I don't acknowledge " Judge Brewster sat down. Looking the policeman squarely in the face, he said slowly and deliberately: "Capt. Clinton, whether you ac knowledge it or not, I can prove that you obtained these - confessions by means of hypnotic suggestion, and that is a greater crime against society than any the state punishes or pays you to prevent." The captain laughed and shrugged his shoulders. Indifferently he said: "I guess the boys up at Albany can deal with that question." -( "The boys up at Albany," retorted the lawyer, "know as little about the laws of phychology as you do. This will be-dealt -with at Washington!" The captain yawned. "I didn't come here to hear about that you were going to produce the woman who called on Underwood the night of the murder that was what 1 came here for not to hear my meth ods criticised where is she?" "One thing at a time," replied the judge. "First, I wanted to show you that we know Howard Jeffries' con fession is untrue. Now we'll take up the other question." Striking a bell on his desk, he added: "This woman can prove that Robert Underwood committed suicide." "She can, eh?" exclaimed the cap tain sarcastically. "Maybe she did it herself. Some one did it that's sure!" The library ; door opened and .. the butler entered "Yes, some one did it!" retorted the judge; "we agree there!" To the servant he said:""Ask Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., to come here." The servant left the room andthe captain turned to the ; judge with a laugh: "Is she the one?. Ha! ha! that's easy "- - . ' j The judge nodded. "She has promised to produce the missing witness to-night." "She has, eh?" exclaimed the cap tain. '. Rising quickly from his chair, he crossed the room and talked in an undertone with bis sergeant. This new turn In the case seemed to inter est Tiim. Meantime Mr. Jeffries, who had followed every phase of the ques tioning with close attention, left his seat and went over to Judge Brewster. "Is it possible," he exclaimed, "is it possible . that Underwood shot ' him self? I never dreamed of doubting Howard's confession!" More cordially he went on: "Brewster, if this is true, I owe you a debt of gratitude you've done splendid work I I'm afraid I've been ust a trifle obstinate." "Just a trifle," said the Judge dryly. Sergeant Maloney took his hat. "Hurry up)" said the captain, "you can telephone from the corner drug store." - : .... "All right, cap.- - Dr. Bernstelnr also rose to depart. ; , "I must go, Mr. Brewster; I have an appointment at the hospital." The judge grasped his hand warmly. "Thank you, doctor!" he exclaimed; "I don't know what I should have done without you." "Thank you. sir!" chimed ' In tha banker; "I am greatly indebted to you." -, - ' ." - .' - ; :., "Don't mention it," replied the psychologist almost ironically. ! He went out and the banker im patiently took out his watch, , "It's getting late!" he exclaimed; "where Is this girl. I have no faith in her promises!" As he spokejthe library door opened and Annie appeared." (To'BE CONTINUED TOMORROW).
