CHAPTER VI, (Continued.)
The Verdict.
Mrs. Upottery wu an upstanding
woman, and her face, not remarkable
for Its alluring femininity, Indicated
unusual strength of character. It was
a square, somewhat rugged face, wrin
kled, with thin expressive lips, a slight
mustache above the upper lip, 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 band was a purse and a
black bordered handkerchief. Ae a
bulwark of the respectability of Mr.
Htlgay’s establishment she left noth
ing to be desired.
“It was said yesterday," the 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 IT,
could IT'
"My good woman" .
"Exouse met I’m not your good wo.
man,” ehe said, leaving the coroner for
the first time at momentary toes for
retort.
"If that Is all you have to say"
"It Isn't all I have to say. But don't
I 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 l
comb that the swell young man found
behind the captain's door came out of
my cbmb."
"Yes?" the coroner encouraged her.
"And how did It get. Into hts room?"

Upottery. "I was engaged to be mar.

This engagement was secret?"
questioned the coroner, kindly.
"Yes," said Mrs. Upottery, cpntroll
tng herself. "Henry wished It to be so,'
Instantly the coroner and the report'
ers made a note to the effect that the
deceased's Christian name was Henry.
"Was It of long stsndtnr?"
Teams to the Corner House on the
11th of October"
That was the day after the captain
arrived,” the coroner put tn.
T think It was. And the captain
took a fancy to me at once. He aldn'
say much. He didn't say anything.
But I oould 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 hie eye. He
found out that I had the habit of tak

you can't be too particular, and no one

proposed to me. Bald he'd never loved
any one for twenty years, since his
first wife died, and would I Join ray
fate with hts, 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 corns to light sooner

nothing back, delicate as my position
''"When was the proposal?"
"Monday last."
"Ths day before the captain met hts

"The day before the captain was
murdered," said Mrs. Upottery, with
terrible emphasis. And there wae

present. It appeared to be so Inti

voice that none of her hearers dared
more a muscle.
"Have you any theory as to the cap
tain's death?" the coroner asked.
"I have,” said ehe. ‘/And It Is more
than a theory. Henry was captain of
the steamship Volga that traded to
Odessa"
"What line?"
“I don't know what line. How should
I know what line? You men ought
to be able to And that out, surely.
There aren't forty steamships named
Volga, I suppose?" She seemed hurt.
"Continue," said the coroner.
"Hie boat was In Odessa harbor
while the riots were on there. And -a
Russian police officer that was being
pursued by the mob took refuge In the
captain's dinghy, and ths captain rowed
him off to his ship and saved his life.
The leaders of the mob called on the
captain to give him up. and ha
wouldn't. Mot him! Then the captain
received a note from a secret society
sentencing him to death. Mow, 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 he wasn't
any worse for hts walk, and there
was another man In the room, a young
man, a foreigner, I'm certain. And
Henry says to me; ‘I'm busy with this
gentleman for a minute, Mrs. Upot
tery,' he says. And the man bowed In
a foreign way, and I walked out. I
never thought at the moment there
might be anything wrong."
, "Did you see this mysterious for
signer got' *
"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 hts 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 hie part of having married
Mrs. Upottery.
"One more witness, sir,” said the
coroner's offlesr. "Just come, *lr.”
"Who Is that?"
A well-groomed, youngish man, ob.
vfously of the city, stood up.
"I had Instructions from my prin
cipals to take a cab here at once. Mr.
Coroner, and offer you alt the help tn

glib.

owners of ths Volga and two other
steamers."
•Swear him,” said the coroner laoon
Ically.
The new witness gave the name of
Lancelot Sprague and described him
self as manager to Messrs. Graham,
Farquhar A Graham.
‘The late Captain Pollexfen was tn
your Arm’s service?" the coroner be
gan.
"He had been. After hla last voyage
he retired." ■ >. ,
"When waa that?”
"About seven week* ago.”-
'He had been with you long?”
"Several years. My principals were
perfectly satisfied with him.”
“He retired simply because he wished
to retire, then?"
‘Yea; at laaat he gave no other rea
son.’’
"How old waa ha?"
"Rather over sixty, I should say."
‘Then, as he waa retiring, ha must
have had some saving*, something to
live on?”
He had over two thousand pounds
Invested In our business. It was yield
ing him an excellent percentage. And
my principals were very much surpris
ed, not only at hts sudden retirement,
but at hla strongly expressed desire
to have hts capital at once. When he
waa Informed that capital conld not be
disturbed ao quickly as that without
ssrious Inconvenience and perhaps lose
he waa annoyed. He seemed In the
highest degree anxious to handle all
the money he possessed at the earliest
possible moment. He called on ua
several times to this end. Ultimately
we arranged to satisfy him. The two
thoueand pounds was found and paid
over to him, and w* hold hla receipt In
full."
"When was that?"
"Last Tuesday afternoon about
o'clock."
"You paid him by check?”
"Yea, In the tint place. But he was
a peculiar old man In some respects
and didn’t hold checks In much esteem.
He wanted notes. So w* got him to
Indorse the check and w* sent a mes
senger round to Lloyd’s Bank to cash
It before th* bank dosed. And w*
handed, ehortly before 4 o'clock, twen

Captain Pollexfen, together with twen
ty-on* pounds six shillings and six

An Immense sensation tn court.
-Did you keep th* numbers of ths
notee?"
"Most certainly. I am Instructed to
state that It waa not until we opened
newspapers this morning that we
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 Sprague's brief hour of publicity
was over.
"Mrs. Upottery," the coroner called
out.
"Sir.” The mourning woman stood
up.
■ "Did the deceased mention anything
tn you of hi* having received the sum
of two thousand odd pounds?"
“I did not see him privately after
hla return from th# city."
"But he returned before dinner, ac
cording to the evidence of Mr. HU-
gay. Did you not meet him at din
ner?"
"I met him at dinner. We sat at op
posite ends of the table, however, from
motives of prudence."
“Did he never tell you that he waa
expecting this eum?"
"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 evi
dence of the shlpwoners, that his mur
der was the vengeance of some Russian
secret societyT’
"I do," said Mrs. Upottery, and add
ed grimly, "Two thousand pounds
would b* useful enough to their pre
cious revolutionary cause, I Imagine."
And half th* men In court thought:
'This Is no ordinary woman."
“About the negro Coco's story of
treasure, did the captain ever discuss
such a thing to you?"
"Oh, that!" replied Mr*. Upottery
curtly. "That waa a harmless craze
of the poor captain. I should have
stopped that, of course; I humored
It for the time being.”
Her heavy contralto voice vibrated
curiously tn the packed and Intent
chamber. It seemed to continue vl
bratfng after she had sat down.
Gentlemen," said the coroner, facing
the Jury, “you have heard the evidence,
which Is of a sufficiently contradictory
nature, and yet not extremely complex.
We have learned that the deceased
went out In the afternoon of Tuea
day from this singular lodging house
Hllgay's after having been 111 or tn
disposed for a week. He was In the
office of Messrs. Graham, Farquhar
Graham at t o'clock. He stayed there
till nearly 4. He waa seen to re-enter
the lodging house about 5. Presum
ably he went to his room. He dined
aa usual. He went out afterward for
about half an hour, and returned about
8. There Is no evidence to show where
he went. The laet of the witnesses to
see him alive wae apparently Mrs.
Upottery. You will note what she eald
ae to the presence of a eecond 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 vlelt
of Mrs. Upottery to the next momlnr
we loee sight of the deceased. Ani
then we And him burled In a trench
opposite the house. The doctor con
lectures that he died about midnight.
"Now, If he was not killed by the
foreign-looking person wn* the-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
thl* Is very Important—why should the
deceased consent to leave the house
surreptitiously, os h# must (have left
It If he left It'alive, by means of the
back stair#? Certainly he might have
done so, for whereas the light* at the
back of the house ere turned out at
11, the oaptaln waa 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 tn
the murder? In thle connection, you
doubtless noted that th* deceased. In
the opinion of the doctor, weighed per-
haps eleven atone, a fairly heavy weight
to be carried down the back stairs of
th# house, or even to be lowered with
ropes from a window. But according
to the evidence o? the ganger the spade
work of ths burial was done by an ex
perienced hand. In this matter an ex
perienced hand would be a strong hand
—a hand possibly capable of manipu
lating even eleven stone of dead weight
without making too much note*.
"With reference to the medical evl
dance, I should point out that th* lo
calltles of the hemorrhages In the
brain, the pons Variolll and tbs fourth
ventricle, are the cardiac and respira
tory centers and that, these being af
fected, th* deceased did tn all proba
bility die Instantaneously.
"As regards light on th* motive of
the crime, you have th# eternal hidden
treasure tale discredited by the flancee
of the deceased. You have Mrs. Upot-
tery's bizarre story of a Russian secret
society's vengeance. And lastly you
have the fact that the deceased hod
two thousand one hundred and twen
ty-on* pound* six and sixpence In hla
pocket, and that this money, together
with all hts papers, has disappeared.
I leave your sagacity to choose be
tween the three things. The disap
pearance of the deceased's relatives la

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-
together with blanched and Impor
tant faces. But In spite of the anxiety
of th* long greybeard to weigh every
pro and con In a balance, the for
mality of deliberation could not be
prolonged more than a few minutes.
The foreman cleared hi* throat.
"We are of opinion that the deceased,
Henry Pollexfen, was murdered by
some person or person* unknown.”
There waa a rush for the 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 In Tomorrow's Georgian.)
The people of Lee county are In
censed over the action of a very white
mulatto, who palmed himself off as a
white man and married Mies Eva
Green, a very worthy and respectable
young white woman of that county.'
He skipped out on August 21 and If
i is caught there will likely be
lynching bee down near the Alabama
line. The negro’s name Is A. T, Wil
son. Governor Terrell has offered 2100
reward for hla capture.
The negro was well dressed and went
to Lee county, pretending he was whit),
associating with white people. In the
early part of the year he married Miss
Green and eklpped out by the light of
the moon when he feared detection. •
The following description Is given
of the negro;
"He Is about E feet 9 Inches high,
weighs about 145 or 150 pounds, the lit

Is twisted and appears to have been

a Jack at all trades—painter, brick
