At the time yon were standing on the landing and you saw and heard everything that was done and said. Did you know what the quar rel was about r “Not then. No, sir." “Not then—I see. But later you did? “Later my father-in-law told me that It was because he had seen the item In the paper” "The item, yes—we have that here. But you saw the two men fight?—yes. And now tell me, did you hear your husband say any thing In that fight? Begin at the beginning—” “They talked so low—and so fast—” Ellen said, beginning to tremble, "I couldn’t hear It all; But I heard Mr. Josselyn call out: ‘That’s a deliberate falsehood 1* and then my husband said that he coaid not say that to him—” “Didn’t he say, ‘I’ll kill you If 'L |inr£ I W: / i-q/r/ '"t**® “Didn’t He Say Til Kill You ifYou Say That Again?’ Ryan Sug gested* you say that again?’ Ityan sug gested. “I don’t think he said that. I couldn’t say—” “Exactly,” Ryan said, You were excited and frightened by this noise, and naturally you only got a vague Impression of it.” He glanced at a paper before him. "Go on. Mrs. Josselyn, you saw the blow struck?” “Yes, sir. I saw Mr. Josselyn reach for the paper-cutter, and I screamed. I think.” “Why did lie reach for it? What had his son said?” “He said ‘I’ll stop you—!’” Ellen began, and was silent. He was terribly excited and angry.” Ryan said quietly, not look ing at her, “and lie shouted, Til stop you’.’ What else?” Ellen glanced at George. “Why, they were speaking both together—and so fast—” she began. “What did he say that made you call out, ‘Oh, no, Gibbs!’ dr *Oh. don’t. Gibbs’!” Ryan asked.' “He said something about a lie," Ellen stammered, “he said he would —he said his father was saying things that weren't so and that he would kill hint If he went on—” “I see!” Ryan said quietly, glanc ing toward the stenographer a mo ment. He paused, pursing his lips. “Well, go on. You said something about the sentimental attachment your husband had conceived for his stepmother. Did that worrv vou very much?" “It made me unhappy, « little," cnien said simply. "But I never thought anything was wrong. 1 told ray father-in-law last night that there was nothing wrong,” she add ed eagerly, I told him we would all forget it. and that he must not feel too badly about it." “Tell us again w hat happened after your husband rushed out?” the district attorney said. She re peated bet story, attempting to use the same language; she had quieted the old man, dined with him and her son, taken Tommy up to bed, come back to say good-night at about eight o’clock, and talked for an hour or more with Lizzie, and tber 1 readl®': -mtll she retired .at ei^.en.
