It was an nnusual case because of

accusjd Claude Lennox, the idol of

Colonel Lennox. Then the murder
seemed :-o utterly motiveless. The
young man swore most solemnly that

that it had been jriTen from motives
of charity, to bind her bruised hand.

'It is probable yon may pay for
your obstinacy with your life,' said

lawyers in England.

than death," C!audc replied, calmly;

The silence that followed was pro

'The first witness I shall call,' said
the learned counsel; 'is one who will
