The Coacliuiom.
“I can tall my own aacrata,” he
^•ald, "but 1 don’t gat othar people
Into trouble. 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. Thed upon the floor of his
cell, w: h a placid smile upon tils
face as though he had been able In
momenta to look bac k upon

lated from the length of hie stride),
and the other fashionably dressed, to
Judge from the small and elegant
Impreaslon left by hie boots
On entering the house this last In
ference waa confirmed. 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.

“It la wonderful!” I cried. "Your
merits should be publicly recognlxed.
You should publish an account of the
case. 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

Thousands of Refugee* Cross Into
United States When General Maas
Appears With Victorious Army.
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

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

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. How well they

The Jury apparently placed little
confidence tn Street's story of the
robbery, ns it required only a brief
period of deliberation to decide on a
verdict which acquitted Coleman of
all blame In connection with the af

part of Street against Coleman, and
it would have been a miscarriage of

HAVE BUSINESS ROW.
Two Partners Have Fatal Shooting
Scrape at Olar.
Joe Kimsey was shot and killed by
Victor Kearse Saturday evening, the
shooting taking place on the princi
pal street of Olar. 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. After the
affray Kimsey was taken to a doctor’s
office where he died about twenty

brought out an ••mphstlc denial from
the White House Wednesday. The
President made public the following
btter:
“To the Editor of the Washington
Post Sir: I am quoted In your Is
sue of this morning as saying that
any one who does not support me Is
no Democrat, but a rebel. 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. Very truly yours,
"Woodrow Wilson.”
At the White House there was a
disposition to look upon the currency
situation as on the way to amicable
adjustment. 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 •
