‘‘THE CASE OF OSCAR SLATER” wm e , By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
A correspondence, which was produced,
showed the arrangements which had been
made, long before the crime, for his emi
gration. though it should be added that
the actual determination of the date and
taking of the ticket <*vere subsequent to
the tragedy.
This hurrying up of the departure cer-
tainly deserves some scrutiny. Accord
ing to the evidence of ’ his mistress and
■ of the servant, Slater had received two
’ letters on the morning of December 21.
Neither of these was produced at the
1 trial. One was said to be from a Mr.
! Rogers, a friend of Slater's in London,
’ telling him that Slater's wife was both
ering him for money. The second was
said to be from one Devoto, a former
• partner of Slater s, asking him to join
him in San Francisco.
Even if the letters had been destroyed,
w would imagine that these statements
■ to the letters could be disproved or
irroborated by either the crown or the
tense. They are of considerable im
i pottance. as giving the alleged reasons
wit.v Slater hurried up a departure which
had been previously announced as for
January. I can not find, however, that
in the actual trial anything definite was
ascertained upon the matter.
Another point had already been scored
against the prosecution in that the seven
trunks, which contained the whole effects
of the prisoner, yielded nothing of real
importance. There were a felt hat and
two cloth ones, but none which corre
sponded with the Donegal of the original
description. A light colored water-proof
coat was among the outfit.
If the weapon with which the deed was
done was carried off in the pocket of the
assassin's overcoat and it is difficult to
say how else he could have carried it—
then the pocket must, one would suppose,
be crusted with blood, since the crime was
a most sanguinary one. No such marks
were discovered, nor were the police for
tunate as to the weapon. It is true that
1 a hammer was found in the trunk, but
it was clearly shown to have been pur
chased in one of those cheap half-crown
sets of tools which are tied upon a card,
was an extremely light and fragile in
strument. and utterly incapable in the
eyes of common sense of inflicting those
terrific injuries which had shattered the
old lady's skull.
It was said by the prosecution to bear
some marks of having been scraped or
cleaned, but this was vigorously denied
by the defense, and the police do not
appear to have pushed the matter to the
obvious test of removing the metal work,
when they must, had this been indeed
the weapon, have certainly found some
soakage of blood into the wood under the
edges of the iron cheeks or head.
But a glance at this puny weapon
would convince an impartial person that
any task beyond fixing a tin tack or
cracking a small bit of coal would be
above its strength. It may fairly be said
that before the trial ItaMl begun the three
important points of the pawned jewel,
the supposed flight and the evidence/from
clothing and weapon had each either
broken down completely or become ex
ceedingly attenuated.
Let us see now what there was upon
the other side. The evidence for the pros
ecution really resolved Itself into two sets
of witnesses for identification. The first
get were those who had actually seen
the murderer, and included Adams. Helen
and the girl Barrowman.

The second set consisted of twelve peo-
I pie who had. at various dates, seen a
> man frequenting the street in which Miss
Gilchrist lived and loitering in a suspi-
“ cious-manner before the bouse. All of
■ these, some with confidence, but most
, of them With reserve, were prepared to
■ identify the prisoner with this unknown
> man.
What the police never could produce.
> however, was Ihe essential tiling, and
that was the least connecting ling between
. Slater and Miss Gilchrist, or any expla
! nation how a foreigner in Glasgow could
ever know of the existence, to say noth
‘ ing of the wealth, of a retired old lady,
who had few acquaintances and seldom
! left her guarded flat.
It Is notorious that nothing is more
tricky than evidence of identification. In
i the Beck case there were, if I remember
; right, some ten witnesses who had seen
the real criminal under normal circum
stances, and yet they were all prepared
to swear to the wrong man. In the case
1 of Oscar Slater, the first three witnesses
saw their man under conditions of ex
citement. while the second group saw the
I loiterer in the street under various lights,
and in a fashion which was always more
or less casual It is right, therefore,
that in assigning due weight to this evi-
> dence. one should examine 11 with some
care. We shall first take the three peo-
1 pie who actually' saw the murderer.
There seems to have been some dis
crepancy between them from tlie first.
1 since, as has already been pointed out,
i the description published from the data
! of Adams and Lambie was modified after
Barrowman had given her informal ion.
Adams and Lambie said:
"A man between 25 and 30 years of age
5 feet 8 or 9 inches in height, slim built,
dark hair, clean shaven, dressed in
gray' overcoat and dark doth cap."
After the collaboration with Barrow
man, the description became:
"Twenty-eight or thirty years of age:
. tall and thin, dean shaven, his nose
slightly turned to one side. Wore one
of the popular round tweed hats known as
Donegal hats, and a fawn-colored over
coat, w'htch might- have been a water
proof; also dark trousers and brown
boots.”
Apart from the additions in the second
Inscription, there are. it will be observed,
two actual discrepancies in the shape of
the hat and tie color of the coat.
As to how far either of these descrip
tions tallies with Slater ft may be stated
hero that the accused was 37 years of age:
that he was above the medium height;
that hli nose vas not twisted, but was
depressed at end. as if it had at some
time been broken, and finally that eight
witnesses were called upon to prove that,
on' the dale of the murder, the accused
wore a short but noticeable mustache.
I have before me a verbatim stenograph
ic report < f the proceedings in New York
and also In Edinburgh, furnished by the
kindness of si opines"' t'o.. solicitors,
of Glasgow, who are still contending for
’he interests o< their unfortunate client.
I will here compare th.o terms of that
identilieaiion in the two courts:
HELEv LAMBIE. NEW YORK'. JAN
UARY 26, 1909.

nearly swear that is 'be man ")
Q. ’’Didn'. von say you did not see
the man's lace?"
A "Neither 1 did 1 saw the walk."

A. “By his walk and hVight. his dark
I i hair and 'jie side of his face."
Q. "You W'ere not quite sure of him

j A. "It was a mistake."
■ I Q. “What did you mean in America
| by say ing that you never saw his face,
if. in point of fact, you did see it so
as to help you to recognize it? What did
you mean?"
A. “N< tiling."
On further cross-examination she de
elared that when she said that she had
I never seen the man's face she meant
that she had never seen the "broad of
it," but had seen it sideways.
UNCERTAIN WITNESSES.
Here it will be observed that Helen
Lambic's evidence had greatly stiffened
i during the three months between the New
j York ard the Edinburgh proceedings, in so
. aggressively positive a frame of mind was
she on the latter occasion that, on being
' sbow’n Slater's overcoat and asked if it
' resembled the murderer’s, she answered
twice over: "That is the coat." although
lit had not yet been unrolled, and though
it was not light gray, which was the col
or of her own original description.
It should not be forgotten in dealing
with the evidence of Lambie and Adams
that they are utterly disagreed as to so
easily fix a thing as their own proceedings
after swearing that Lambie walked to
nearly the end of the hall, and Iximbie
I that she remained upon the door mat.
Without deciding which was right, it is
clear that the incident must shake one's
confidence in one or other of them as a
witness.
In the case of Adams the evidence was
I given with moderation, and was substan
tially the same in America and Scotland.
“I couldn't say positively. This man
(indicating Slater) is not at all unlike
him.’
Q. "Did you notice a crooked nose?"
A. "No."
Q. "Anything remarkable about his
walk?"
A. "No."
Q. "You don't swear this is the man
you saw?"
\ "No. sir He resembles the man,
that is all I can say ."
In n ply to the same general questions
in Edinburgh, he said;
"I would not like to swear he is the
man lam a little near-sighted. He re
sembles the man closely."
Barrowman, the girl of 15. had met the
man presumed to be the murderer in the
street, and taken one passing glance at
him under a gas lamp on a wet De-
I cemher's night difficult circumstances
for an identification She used these
words in New York:
"That man here is something like
him." which she afterward amended to
"very like him." She admitted that a pic
ture of the man she was expected to
identify had been shown to her before
she came Into the court.

to recognize the man was the crooked
rose. This crooked nose was not much
! more apparent to others than the pecul
i iarily of walk which so greatly impressed
‘ Helen Lambie that, after seeing half a
dozen steps of it. she could identify it
with confidence. In Edinburgh Barrow
man. like Lambie. was very much more
1 certain than in New York. The further
they got from the event, the easier ap
' patently did recognition become. “Yes,

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
LET love have its way.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl, nineteen years old. I
dearly love and am engaged to a
. young man. 22.
My mother being dead. I keep
house for my father. My youngest
sister is five and I have another of
seventeen.
Am I too young to marry, or
should I stay at home? My sweet
heart has good employment.
TROUBLED.
You are not too young to marry, and
you’ sister of seventeen is not too
young to take up your burden at home.
Let love have its way.
DON’T TRY TO FORCE IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young girl and deeply in
love with a young man five years
my senior. I have known him for
‘lllite a while and would like to
know if he loves me. He is atten
tive to me and seems to esteem*me,
but as yet he has not told me he
loves me. Can’t vou tell me how to
gain his love? VERY ANXIOUS.
The man who knows a girl is trying
to secure a declaration of love from hitr
will take his time in making it.
You are showing him you are anx
ious. A fatal mistake. Just try show
ing him you don’t care. And more
times than the men will ever know they
have been impelled to make an avowal
of love through fear that "the other
man" would make it first. If there is no
other man. a woman's wit should teach
her to give the impression that there is.
