CHAPTER VL (Continued.)
Th« Verdict.
Mrs. Upottery was an upatandlng
woman, and her face, not remarkable
for Us alluring femininity. Indicated
unusual strength of character. It.
a square, somewhat rugged face, wrin
kled, with thin expressive llpe, a slight
mustache above the upper Up, a thick
nose above the mustache, and a small
black bonnet above the nose. She
wore complete mourning. Her black-
gloved hands were crossed at her waist
and In one hand was a purse and a
black bordered handkerchief. As a
bulwark of the respectability of Mr.
Hltgay’s establishment she left noth
ing to be desired.
'It was said yesterday,” she began,
‘that I occupied the next room to the
late captain.” She glanced round the
court superciliously and In particular
showed her contempt for the Jury.
“And what If I did? I couldn’t help ft.
could I?"
“My good woman’
“Excuse me! I’m not your good wo
man/’ she said, leaving the coroner for
the first time at momentary loss for a
retort.
"It that Is all you .have to day”-
"It Isn’t all I have to say. But don’t
know that all London will be putting
two and two together this blessed day,
and saying that Mrs. Upottery had the
room next to the captain’s, and that It
was In a boarding house—and there
you are! My character gone! Espe
cially as there was no room on the
other side of the captain's. So I’ve
come to explain."
•What?"
'Well for one thing, I think I’d bet
ter tell you that that tooth out of a
comb that the swell young man found
behind the captain’s door came out of
my comb."
’’Yes?” the coroner encouraged her.
"And how did it get Into his room?"
"It got ln there like this,” said Mrs.
Upottery. ”1 was engaged to be mar
ried to the poor captain.”
And she burst Into sobs—sobs which
had at least the effect of quenching an
Incipient laughter In the public assem-
"This engagement was secret?"
questioned the coroner, kindly.
"Yes," said Mrs. Upottery, controll
ing herself. "Henry wished It to be so.”
Instantly the coroner and tile report
ers made a note to the effect that the
deceased's Christian name was Henry.
"Was It of long standing'?'’
"I came to the Corner House on the
ilth of October"-
"That was the day after the captain
arrived," the coroner put ln.
‘T think It was. And the captain
took a fancy to me at once. He didn't
•ay much. He didn't say anything.
But I could see It. I wanted to be fair
with him, so I took an opportunity of
telling him that I'd burled my third.
But that made no difference. He was
set on me. It was In his eye. He
found out that I had the habit of tak
ing n walk ln the Embankment Gar
dens most line mornings and hs fol
lowed me there. Then he fell III. I
used to nurse him a little, but quiet
like, because In them boarding houses
you can't be too particular, and no one
ever saw me In his room. Then hs
proposed to me. Said he’d never loved
any one for twenty years, since hit
first wife died, and would I Join my
fate with his, and I said I would. And
he was sitting up In bed. And he kiss
ed me; and my comb fell out and I trod
on It, and that's the explanation of that
tooth, and I’m telling you because these
things always do come to light sooner
or later, and It's bett as I should keep
nothing back, delicate as my position
lx."
•When was the proposal?"
•'Monday last.”
(’The day before the captain met his
death?”
"The day before the captain was
murdered," said Mrs. Upottery, with
terrible emphasis. And there was
Tho" revelatlon of the singular Idyll
had a strange effect on everybody
present. It appeared to be so Inti
mate a commingling of the farcical and
the tragic that people wanted to grin
and weep In the same moment.
The courtship was quits brief, Mrs.
Upottery?" ventured the coroner.
’’Yes. But he fell In love at first
sight," said tbs wrinkled creature who
had represented to Captain Pollexfen
the charm and sweet seductiveness of
her sex. And she said it ln such a
voice that none of her hearers dared
move a muscle.
"Have you any theory as to the cap
tain’s death?” the coroner asked.
"I have,” said she. “And It Is more
than a theory. Henry was captain of
the steamship Volga that traded to
Odessa”
"What line?”
"1 don’t know what line. How should
I know what line? You men ought
to be able to find that out, surely.
There aren’t forty steamships named
Volga, I suppose?” She seemed hurt.
"Continue,” said the coroner.
"His boat was In Odessa i harbor
while ths riots were on there. And a
Russian police officer that was being
pursued by tbs mob took refuge In the
captain’s dinghy, and the captain rowed
him off to bis ship and saved hla life.
The leaders of the mob called on the
captain to give him up, and
wouldn’t Not him! Then the captain
received a note from a secret society
sentencing him to death. Now, I’m sure
the captain was killed by a secret
agent. I know he was.”
• "Why do you think that?" asked the
coroner.
"I slipped Into Henry's room after
he’d been out on Tuesday evening
about 9 o'clock. Just to see if hs wasn’t
any worse for his walk, and there
was another man In the room, a youni:
man, a foreigner, I’m certain. Ant I
Henry says to me: ‘I’m busy with this
gentleman for a minute, Mrs. Upot
tery,’ he says. And the man bowed ln
a foreign way, and I walked out
never thought at the moment there
might be anything wrong.”
"Did you see this mysterious for
eigner go?"
"I didn't see him go and I didn't
hear him go. And I never saw the
captain alive again.'
'And you heard nothing during the
night?”
‘‘Nothing, and I never saw the cap
tain alive again,” she repeated, her
black-bordered handkerchief at her
eyes.
“I am obliged to you for coming for
ward,” said the coroner. "If you have
nothing else to tell us you may step
down.”
One moment” said the foreman of
the Jury. Mrs. Upottery turned on him
like a tigress. "Was the captain In fear
of his life?”
He pretended he wasn't poor brave
fellow!” answered Mrs. Upottery.
And she stepped down. She had
awed the court the Jury, and the pub
lic. There were men present who re
garded the captain’s death as a narrow
escape on his part of having married
Mrs. Upottery.
“One more wltneae, sir,” said ths
coroner's officer. "Just come, sir.”
"Who Is that?"
A well-groomed, youngish man, ob
viously of the city, stood up.
"I had Instructions from my prin
cipals to take a cab hers at once, Mr.
Coroner, and offer you all the help In
their power.” The voice wu fresh and
glib.
"And who are your principals?"
“Messrs. Graham, Farquhar & Gra
ham, of Cannon street shipowners—
owners of the Volga and two other
steamers."
"Swear him," eald the coroner lacon
ically.
The new witness gave ths name of
Lancelot Sprague and described him
self as manager to Messrs. Graham,

late Captain Pollexfen was In
'your firm’s servicer’ the coroner be
gan.
"He had been. After his list voyage
he retired."
“When was that?"
“About seven weeks ago.”
"He had been with you long?"
“Several years. My principal were
perfectly satisfied with him.”
“He retired simply because he wished
to retire, then?" ,
"Yes; at least he gave no other rea
son."
"How old was her’
"Rather over sixty, I should say.”
"Then, as hs was retiring, he must
have had some savings, something to
live on?”
"Hs had over two thousand pounds
Invested In our business. It was yield
ing him an excellent percentage. And
ray principals ware very much surpris
ed, not only at his sudden retirement,
but at hie strongly expressed desire
to have his capital at once. When he
was Informed that capital could not be
disturbed so quickly as that without
serious inconvenience and perhaps loss
he was annoyed. He seemed In ths
highest degree anxious to handle all
the money hs possessed at ths earliest
possible moment. Hs called on us
several times to this end. Ultimately
we arranged to satisfy him. The two
thousand pounds was found and paid
over to him, and we hold hie receipt In
full.”
“When was thatr’
"Last Tuesday afternoon about
o’clock."
"You paid him by check V'
“Yes, in ths first place. But he was
a peculiar old man In some respects
and didn’t hold checks In much esteem.
He wanted notee. Ho we got him to
Indorse the check and we aent a mes
senger round to Lloyd’s Bank to cash
It before the bank cloeed. And we
handed, shortly before 4 o'clock, twen
ty-one notes of a hundred pounds to
Captain Pollexfen, together with twen
ty-one pound! elx shillings and six
pence In gold and silver.”
“Then he left your office with this
sum In his possession ?”
"Precisely."
An immense sensation In court
"Did you keep the numbers of the
notes?"
Most certainly. I am Inetructed to
state' that It wae not until we opened
our newspapers this morning that we
had the slightest Idea of what had hap
pened to Captain Pollexfen. Otherwise,
of course, my principals would have
put themselves at your service yester
day.”
I am Indebted to your principals,"
observed the Coroner with a slight
Ironic Inflection.
Not at all. sir.” And Mr. Lance
lot Hprague’s brief hour of publicity
was over.
•Mrs. Upottery," the corofier called
out.
'Sir." The mourning woman atood
up. v
'•Did the deceased mention anything
to you of hla having received the sum
of two thousand odd pounds?"
I did not see him privately after
his return from the city.”
"But he returned before dinner, ac
cording to the evidence of Mr. Hll
gay. Did you not meet him at din
ner?"
”1 met him st dinner. We sat at op
posite ends of the table, however, from
motives of prudence.”
"Did he never ten you that he was
expecting this sum?”
"I never encouraged him to talk
about money,” said Mrs. Upottery. "I
was not marrying him for his money.
"You still think. In. face of the evl
dencc of the shlpwonera, that his mur-
der was the vengeance of some Russian
secret society?"
“I do," said Mrs. Upottery, and add
ed grimly, “Two thousand pounds
would be useful enough to their pre
cious revolutionary cause, I imagine.’
And half the men In court thought
"This Is no ordinary woman.”
“About the negro Coco’s story of
treasure, did the captain ever
such a thing to you 7”
“Oh. that!" replied Mrs. Upottery
curtly. "That was a harmless crass
of the poor captain. I should have
stopped that, of course; I humored
it for the time being."
Her heavy contralto voice vibrated
curiously ln the packed and Intent
chamber. It seemed to continue vi
brating after sbe had sat down.
“Gentleman,” said the coroner, facing
the Jury, "you have heard the evidence,
which Is of a sufficiently contradictory
nature, and yet not extremely oomplex.
We have learned that the deceased
went out ln the afternoon, of Tues
day from this singular lodging house of
Hllgay’e after having been 111 or in-
disposed for a week. He was In the
office of Messrs. Graham, Farquhar A
Graham at 1 o'clock. He stayed there
till nearly 4. He was seen to re-enter
the lodging house about 5; Presum
ably he went to his room. He dined
os usual. He went out afterward for
about half an hour, and returned about
8. There M no evldenoe to ehow where
he went. The last of the wltneeses to
see him alive ' was apparently Mrs.
Upottery. You will note what she said
as to-ths presence of a second person
In his room. We have no evidence to
show how or when that person entered
the lodging house or how or when he
left. From the time of the brief visit
of Mrs. Upottery to the next morning
we lose sight of the deceased. And
then we find him buried ln a trench
opposite the house. The doctor con
jectures that he died about midnight.
“Now, If he was not killed by the
foreign-looking person was ths murder
committed Inside or outside the house?
The only evidence bearing on the
point Is the absence of noise, which
would point’ to a murder outside the
house. But on the other hand—and
this Is very Important—why should the
deceased consent to leave the house
surreptitiously, as ha must have left
It If he left it alive, by means of the
back stairs?/ Certainly he might have
done so, for whereas the lights at the
back of the house are turned out at
II, the captain was not dead till 12.
"It the deceased was killed In the
house, he may have been killed either
by the foreign-looking person whom
Mrs. Upottery saw In the room or by
a lodger In the house, or by some oth
er person who surreptitiously Intro
duced himself Into the house. Was
more than one person concerned In
the murder? In this connection, you
doubtless noted that the deceased. In
the opinion of the doctor, weighed per
haps eleven stone, a fairly heavy weight
to be carried down the back stairs of
ths house, or even to be lowered with
ropes from a window. But according
to the evidence of the gnnger the spade
work of the burial was done by an ex
perienced hand. In this matter, an ex*
pertenced hand would be a strong hatrd
perienend , _ , ,
—a hand possibly capable of manipu
lating even eleven stone of dead weight
without making too much noise.,
"With reference to the medical evi
dence, I should point out that the lo
calities of ths hemorrhages In the
brain, the pons Variolli and the fourth
ventricle, are ths cardiac and respira
tory centers and that, these being af
fected, the deceased did In all proba
bility die instantaneously.
"As regards light on the motive of
the crime, you have ths eternal hidden
treasure tale discredited by the fiancee
of the deceased. You have Mrs. Upot-
tsry's blean's story of a Russian secret
society’s vengeance. And lastly you
have the fact that ths deceased had
two thousand one hundred and twen
ty-one pounds six and sixpence In hla
pocket, and that this money, together
with all his papers, has disappeared.
I leave your sagacity to choose be
tween the three things. The disap
pearance of the deceased’s relatives Is
either a remarkable coincidence, sines
ths bag contained apparently an Inval
uable clew to the murderer. Assum

The .coroner began to write, as
though he had suddenly forgotten the
very existence of the Jury.
The sixteen men that constituted the
Jury turned to each other and whisper
ed together with hlanched and Impor
tant faces. But In spite of the anxiety
of the long grnybeard to weigh every
pro und con In a balance, the for
mality of deliberation could not be
prolonged more than a few minutes.
The foremen cleared his throat.
"Ws are of opinion that the deceased,
Henry Pollexfen. wss murdered by
some person or persons unknown.”
There was a rush for ths doors. The
drama was over. Outside Philip met
Sir Anthony, who had been unable to
force an entrance Into the court.
"Man!" cried the baronet, excitedly.
•Why didn’t you come last night? I’ve
something I must tell you at once."
(Continued ln Tomorrow's Georgian.)
The people of Lee county are In
censed over the action of a very white
mulatjo, who palmed himself off os a
white man and married Miss Eva
Green, a very worthy and respectable
young white woman of that county,
He skipped out on August 21 and If
he Is caught there will likely be
lynching bee down near the Alabama
line. The negro's name Is A. T. Wll
•on. Governor Terrell has offered 1100
reward for his capture.
The negro was well dressed and went
to Idle county, pretending he was white,
associating with whits people. In the
early part of the year he married Miss
Green and skipped out by the light of
the.moon when he feared detection.
The following description Is given
of the negro:
"He Is about 6 feet 9 Inches high,
Ighs about 145 or 160 pounds, ths llt-
flnger on one hand (think on right)
Is twisted and appears to have been
broken, has high cheek bones, cheeks
somewhat sunken, bow-legged and pig
eon-toed, dark swarthy complexion,
with a mole on chesk,, dark eyes and
hair: last seen was clean shaven; has
quick speech, with somewhat of an
Irish brogue; walks fast, and very
erect. Wilson Is what may be called
a Jack at all trades—painter, brick
mason, carpenter, paper hanger. In
some communities he pnsses as a white
man; In others he passes as a negro.”
It In also said that the negro has a
negro wife. He thought It prudent to
put distance between himself and the
enraged cltlxens of Lee.
