tth curly Iluys of tho war. in tho quiut lit-
tle town of while putrulling the atrcch
to pick Irp strzigglors from llll‘CIllllp on the
outskirts of the town, Curpm‘ul Julius Fry
\\'I'\H shot and killed by one of three men

and upon ll‘l'lllfl of open I-ntully with the

mitted to prison and brought to trial m
the next term of the court. Two of them

third, whom I shall call Short. though
bearing rm unonviable reputation, was l'O-

mtut, except under compulsion of circum-
stances. On account of the character of
the men und the trouble they had already
brought upon quiet, Inw-ttbiding citizens,
the sentiment of the whole community
WIN strong against them.
In order to clearly understand the. force
of the testimony given upon the trial and
the subsequent result it is important to
burr in mind the lllIyE-lll‘ l p culiaratirs,
dress Imd general appearance of each of
the three prisoners.

"weighing scarely one hundred turd thirty
pounds, with bright fiery red hair and
side-whiskers, and at the time of the mur-
der wore a. white felt but and an old light
blue army overcoat.
Ryan was fully six feet in height. otro-
bust trame, with black hair and mustache
dressed in dark clothes. and wore a black
Derby hat.
Grey was a heavy, broad-shouldered
man 0! medium height, weighing fully
two hundred pounds with a. full black
I mud reaching nearly to his waist. But
I’ the evidence subsequently showed that
he lied not filed the shot, it is unnecessary
to d cribe his appearance more minute-
ly.
Certainly it is difficult to imagine two
men more unlike than Short and Ryan,
orlcus liable to be mistaken for each oth-
er even by strangers, much less by their
acquaintances. There wna no possibility
here for a case of mistaken identity.
Short and Ryan were tried together
with their consent—Gray having asked
for and obtained a separate trial, and each
was defended by separate counsel.

the post-mortem examination, the cause
of death and the identification of the body

the indictment, the commonwealth called

Then came II ht‘elle as dramatic to those
present as anything ever wittremcd on the

looked uround the courtvroom, took up the

that Short had done the shooting in self—
defouse? That seemed the only thing pos-
sible. But how could he be believed in
the face of the positive tosti Irony of three
witnesses, two of them living and in the

lyan stc ad for a. moment looking down
and then slowly lifting his eyes to the
bench, in a, silence in which the {ailing ot‘
a feather might have been heard, he said :
“May I ask the court aquestion l“
The venerable judge, evidently surprised
at being interrogated, looked at him and
said: “Certainly, sir.“
"I understand that I am acquitted,"
said Ryan, pausing for a moment and
than continuing: “I want to know (tom
the court whether anything that I may
say now can ever be used against me in
any way 1"
I What did he mean? What need {Or
that question? Every one looked at his
neighbor inquiringly.
The flushed face of the judge showed
that he at least understood what it meant
—:In attom pt to swear his guilty compan-
ion out o! the hangmau's grasp. Then fit
a tone of unmistakable Indiguatlon, came
the answer:
“I am sorry to my air, that nothing you
