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. <). "Do you see the man here you saw there?" A.

A "Neither 1 did 1 saw the walk." The reader must bear in mind that i Lamoie's only chance of seeing the man's walk was in the four steps or so down ’ the passage It was never at any time show n tha' there was any n arked pecu i liaritv about Slater's wail; I ■ ■ 1 Now take Helen Lambie s identification in Edinburgh.

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.

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, that is the man who knocked against me L that night,” she said. Continued In Next Issue.

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. Is This Man Gifted With Strange Power? i Prominent People Say He Reads Their Lives as an Open Book.
