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?" ' "It got In there like this," said Mrs. Upottery. "I was engaged to be mar. rled to the poor captain. >urst Into sobs—sobs which had at least tbs effect of quenching an Incipient laughter In the public assem bled. 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 ing a walk In the Embankment Oar. dens most tins mornings and he fol lowed me there. Then he felt 111. used to nurse him a little, but quiet like, because In them boarding houses you can't be too particular, and no one ever eaw me In hie room. Then he 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 or later, and It's best as I should keep nothing back, delicate as my position ''"When was the proposal?" "Monday last." "Ths day before the captain met hts death?" "The day before the captain was murdered," said Mrs. Upottery, with terrible emphasis. And there wae *'ThfT’revelatlon of the etngular 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 tn the same moment.

"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 thetr power.” The voice was fresh and glib. ’And who are your principals?” Messrs. Graham, Farquhar Sc Ora. ham, of Cannon street, shipowners— 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 ty-one notes of a hundred pounds to Captain Pollexfen, together with twen ty-on* pounds six shillings and six pence In gold and attvar.” ‘Than he left your office with this sum In hla possession T’ "Precisely." 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.
