I saw your advertlae- ment, and I thought It might ha a plant, or it might be the ring I want- eu. My friend volunteered to go and see. I think you’ll own ha did It smartly." "Not a doubt of that," said Holmes heartily. “Now, gentlemen,” the Inspector remarked gravely, “the forms of the law must be complied with. On Thursday the prisoner will be brought before the magistrates, and your attendance will be required. Until then 1 will be responsible for him.” He rang the bell as he spoke, and Jefferson Hope was led off by a cou ple of warders, while my friend and I made our way out of the station and took a cab back to Baker Street. We had all been warned to appear before the magistrates upon the Thursday; but when the Thursday came there was no occasion for our testimony. A higher Judge had tak en the matter in hand, and Jefferson Hope had t <'en summoned before a tribunal wi t-re strict justice would be meted out to him. On the very nicht aftt-r his capture the aneurism burst at: i he was found in the morn ing str.

My well- booted man lay before me. The tall one, then, had done the murder, If murder there was. There was no wound upon the dead man’s person, but the agitated expreesion upon his face assured me that he ha<J fore seen his fate before It came upon him. Men who die from heart di sease or any sudden natural cause never by any chance exhibit agitation upon their features. Having sniffed the dead man’s lips, I detected a slightly sour smell, and I came to the conclusion that he had had poi son forced upon him. Again, I ar gued that it had been forced upon him from the hatred and fear ex pressed upon his face. By the method of exclusion I had arrived at this re sult, for no other hypothesis would meet the facts. Do not imagine that it was a very unheard-of idea. The forcible administration of poison is by no means a new thing in criminal annals. The case of Dolsky, in Odes sa. and of Leturler, In Montpellier, will occur at once to any toxicologist. “And now came the great question as to the reason why Robbery had not been the object of the murd-r. for nothing was taken.

If you won’t I will for you.” “You may do what you like,” he continued, handing a paper over to me; “look at thie!” It was the Echo for the day, and the paragraph to which he pointed was devoted to the case in question. “The public,” it said, “have lost a sensational treat through the sudden death of the man Hope, who was sus pected of the murder of Mr. Enoch Drebber and of Mr. Joseph Stanger- son The details of the case will probably never be known now, tho we are Informed upon good authority that the crime was the result of an old-standing and romantic feud, in which love and Mormonism bore a part. It seems that both the victims belonged, in their younger day, to the Latter-day Saints, and Hope, the deceased prisoner, hails also from Salt Lake City. If the case has had no other effect, it at least brings out in the most striking mann.-r the effi ciency of our detective police force, and will serve as a lesson to all for eigners that they will do wisely to settle their feuds at home, and not to carry them on to British soil It is an op* n secret that the credit of this smart rapture tx-loncs entirely to the well known Scotland Yard of firlnls.

Without firing a shot federal sol diers late Tuesday took possession of Pledr&s Negras, erstwhile provisional capital of the Constitutionalists cul- mlnuatlng the victorious march of the government army under General Maas through the state of Coahulla, the home of Venustiano Carranza, revolutionary commander-in-chlef. With the exception of four stragglers who were cut down by federal cav alry while attempting to escape across the border, all of the Const! tutionalist troops in Piedras Negras marched away with the approach of the government army. They were not pursued, the victorious troops con tending themselves with a search of the city for rebels who might be in hiding. The federals were first sighted shortly after noon Tuesday on a hill top, two miles south of the city. Can non was planted and when all was made ready for a battle a troop of cavalry was sent over the hill at a gallop and Into the city. In the meantime the handful of Constitu- tionalists had shouldered theft arms and marched away. The federal ad- vam •» guard encountered no reslst- ame. and marched Into Piedras Ne gras through the Alameda to the de- serted Constitutionalist admlnlut ra ti, n billd.ng. and took possession Tuesdav night the city was policed : \ troops, and there had been no loot ng hll» t he Ctjr was be'ng evarua'e.t r. ! be'ore the federal* took posaes . >n ; an.r prevailed among the r*sl- ■ who mad# a ry.’i ' >r the it.ter SHOULDNOmiTER COUENCTIEF8KI BILL SflOUU BE riSSEB DURING THE SESSION President Wilson Makes Plain His Conviction That the Democrats Should Break the Alliance of Disaf fected Republicans or Pass Act at Once in Spite of It.

This power is what I mean when I talk of reason ing: backward, or analytically ’’ “I understat'd,’’ said I. ‘ Now, this was a case In which yon were plven the result, and had to find everything else for yourself. Now, let me endeavor to show you the different steps in my reasoning. To begin at the beginning. I ap proached the house, as you know, on foot, and with my mind entirely free from all Impre islons. I naturally be gan by examining the roadway, and there, as I have already explained to you, I saw clearly the marks of a cab, which, I ascertained by inquiry, must have "been there during the night. I satisfied myself that It was a cab, and not a private carriage by the.narrow gauge of the wheels. The ordinary London growler Is consid erably less wide than a gentleman’s brougham. "This waa the first point gained I then walked alowly down the gar den path, which happened to be com posed of a clay aoil, peculiarly auit- able for taking impressiona. No doubt it appeared to you to be a K rampled line of Blush, but to ined eyes every mark upon its » had a meaning. There is no brShch of detective science which is .. go important and bo much neglected M the art of tracing footatepa. Hap pily, I have alwaya laid great atreaa .upon and.much practice haa made It aeeond nature to me. I aaw the heavy foot-marka of the oonatablea, I aaw alao the traeka of the two. who had flrgt pa—od through at present In Europe I knew now that I held the clow to the mystery In my hand, and all that remained was to secure the murderer. “I had already determined In my own mind that the man who had walked into the house with Drebber was none other than the man who had driven the cab The marks In the road showed me that the horse had wandered on in a way which would have been impossible had there been any one in charge of it Where, then, could the driver be, un less he were inside the house? Again, it Is absurd to suppose that any sane man would carry out a deliberate crime under the very eyes, as It were, of a third person, who was sure to betray him. Lastly, supposing one man wished to dog another through London, what better means could he adopt that to turn cab-driver? All these considerations led me to the irresistible conclusion that Jefferson Hope was to be found among the jar- veys of the metropolis. “If he had been one there was no reason to believe that he had ceased to be. On the contrary, from his point of view,, any andden change would be likely to draw attention to himself. He would probably, for a time at least, continue to perform his duties. There was no reason to suppose that he was going under an assumed name. Why should he change his name in a country where no one knew hia original one? I, therefore, organized my street-arab detecflte corpa, and aent them ayate- matlcally to every c&b-proprletor in London nntil they ferreted out the man that I wanted.

Kimsey, who was a planter, and Kearse were business associates in a lunch room at Olar, and the dispute which ended fatally is said to have begun with a duscus- sion of business differences. Kimsey was shot twice, one bullet taking ef fect in the left side In the region of the heart. The other struck him in the right arm. Details as to the ac tual shooting are meagre.

Of course I never said any such thing. It Is contrary both to my thought and to my character, and I must ask that you give a very prominent place In your issue of to-morrow to this de nial.

The president, It was said, feels sure that Senator Reed, of Missouri, will soon join the admin istration supporters In the banking and currency committee, and that Senator O’Gorman will in the end side with the majority. There was no such sanguine feeling, however, with respect to Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska. v • put) l-a&a ar. 1 !>#%*xra'.a or taBt&a It n • . <• a •.! <• a a ''#n»'ur Sin mot;# of *t.# flnanra *■«' m tr.
