THEIR IMPRESSSIONS.

K ; Miss M. McHaffie: “Seen at same time
K and same description. Was only pre-
E i.ai-ed at firs; to say there was some re
semblance, but 'had been thinking it
I over, and concluded that he was the
■ ,nall -’"
K>; Miss A. M McHaffie: "Same as before.
I Had heard the man speak and noticed
ft nothing in his accent." (Prisoner lias
t a strong German accent.)
ft Madge McHaffie .belongs to the same
L family): "Dark, mustached. nose nor
ft nial. Check trousers, fawn overcoat and
fc <oats. Black bowler hat. 'The prisoner
I. was fairly like the man.’ "
S' In connection with the identification
b; these four witnesses it is to be ob
|’' served that neither check trousers nor
K spats were found in the prisoner's lug
gage. As the murderer was described as
I. being dressed in dark trousers, there was
no possible reason why these clothes, if
Slater owned them, should have been de
stroyed.
Constable Brien: "Claimed to know the
K prisoner by sight. Says he was the man
I; he saw loitering. Light coat and a hat.
E (• was a week before the crime, and he
to was loitering SO yards from the scene of
K it. He picked him out among five con-
K stables as the man he had seen."
E Constable Walker: "Had seen the loi
| teter across the street, never nearer,
E end after dark In December. Thought at
r first he was some one else whom he
E ’ new. Had heard that the man he had
fe to identify was of foreign appearance.
E Picked him ..nt from a number of jle-
K tectives. The man seen had a mustache."
E Euphemla Cunningham: "Very dark,
K sallow, heavy featured. Clean shaven,
ft Xose normal. Dark tweed coat. Green
■ . ap with peak."
|: W. Campbell: "Had been with the pre-
i Hous witness. Corroborated. ‘There was
Ea general resemblance between the pris-
E oner and the man, but he could not posi-
E lively Identify him.’ ”
E. Alex Gillies: "Sallow, dark haired and
| "I In shaven. Fawn coat. Cap. 'The
|- prisoner resembled him, but witness could
i: not say he was the same man.’ ”
I R. B. Bryson: "Black coat and vest.
E Black bowler hat. No overcoat. Black
f mustache, with droop. Sallow: foreign.”
| (This witness had seen the man the night
I before the murder. He appeared to be
B looking up at Miss Gilchrist's windows.)
E . a * rn: ‘‘Broad shoulders, long neck.
Dark hair. Motor cap. Light overcoat
r io knees. Never saw the man's face.
'’h. 1 will not swear in fact, but 1 am
f certain he is the man I saw—but I will
■ not swear.’ ”
Mrs. Liddell: “Peculiar nose. Clear
complexion, not sallow. Dark, clean
shaven. Brown tweed cap. Brown tweed
coat with hemmed edge. Delicate man,
i rather drawn together.' She believed
that prisoner was the man. Saw him in
the Street immediatelj- before the mur
oer."

velopei, he wrote to a postoffiee in Lon- i
don. whi—<• he had seme money on de
posit. At 6:1:1 a telegram was sent in i.is
name and presumably by him from the
Central station to Dent. London, for his j
watch, which was being repaired. Ac
cording to the evidence of two witnesses
he was seen in a billia’d room at
The murder, it will be remembered, was
done at seven. He remained about ten
minutes in the billiard room, and left
some lime btlwuin C:3O and C:-!0.
Rathnimi, ore of these witnesses, de
posed that he had ar the time a mus
tache about a quarter of an inch long,
which was so noticeable that no on"
could take him for a clean-shaven man
Antoine, his mistress, and Sfihmulz, the
servant, both deposed that Slater dined
at heme at 7 o'clock. The evidence of tiie
girl is no doubt questionable, but there
was no possible reason why the dismissed
servant Schmalz should perjure herself
for the sake of her ex-employer.
The distance between Slater’s flat and
that of Miss Gilchrist is about a quarter
of a mile. From the billiard room to
Slater's Hat is about a mile. He had to
go for the hammer and bring it back,
unless be had it jutting out of his pocket
all day. But unless the evidence of tiie
'wo women is entirely set aside, enough
has been said to show that there was no
time for the commission by him of such
a crime and the hiding of the traces
which it would leave behind it.
At '.':45 t! at night, Slater was engaged
in his usual occupation of trying to raise
tiie wind at some small gambling club.
The club master saxv no discomposure
about his dress (which was the same as,
according to the crown, he bad done this
bloody crime in), and swore that he was
then wearing a short mustache, "like
stubble." thus corroborating Rathman. It
will be remembered that Lambie and Bar
rowman both swore that the murderer
was clean shaven.
On December 24. three days after the
murder, Slater was down at Cook's office,
bargaining tor a berth in the Lusitania
for his so-called wife and himself. He
made no secret that he was going by
that ship, but gave his real name and
address and declared finally that he would
take his berth in Liverpool, which he did.
Among other confidants as to the ship
was a barber, tiie last person one would
think to whom secrets would be con
fided. Certainly, if this were a flight, it
is hard to say what an open departure
would be.
In Liverpool he took his passage un
der the assumed name of Otto Sando.
This he did, according to his own ac
count. because lie had reason to fear pur
suit from his real wife, and wished to
cover his traces. This may or may not
be tiie truth, but it Is undoubtedly tiie
fact that Slater, who was a disreputa
ble rolling stone of a man. had already
assumed several aliases ’n the course of
his career. It is tu be noted that there
was nothing at all secret about his de
parture from Glasgow, and that he car
ried off all his luggage with him in x
perfectly open manner.
The reader is now in possession of the
main facts, save which are either
unessential or redundant. It will he ob
served that save for the identifications,
the value of which can be estimated, there
is really no single point of connection be
tween the crime and the alleged criminal.
It may he argued that the existence
of the hammer is such a point; but
what household in the land is devoid of
a hammer? It is to be remembered that
if Slater committed the murder with this
hammer, he must have taken it witli
him in order to commit the crime, since
it could be of no use to him in forcing
an entrance. But what man in his senses,
planning a deliberate murder, would take
with him a weapon which was light, frail
and so long that it must project from
any pocket? The nearest lump of stone
upon the road would serve his purpose
better than that.
Again, it must in its blood-soaked con
dition. have been in his pocket when he
came away from the crime. The crown
never attempted to prove either blood
stains in a pocket or the fact that any
clothes had been burned. If Slater de
stroyed the clothes, he would naturally
have destroyed the hammer, too. Even
one of the two medical witnesses of the
prosecution was driven to say that be
should not have expected such a weapon
to cause such ■wounds
FACTS ON ONE SIDE.
It may well bo remembered in this
summary of the evidence I may seem to
have stated the case entirely from the
point of view of the defense. In reply, I
would only ask the reader to take the
trouble to read the extended evidence If
he will do so, lie will realize that without
a conscious mental effort toward special
I pleading, there is no other way in which
I the story can be told. The facts are on
one side. The conjectures, tiie unsatis
factory Identifications, the damaging flaws
and the very strong prejudices upon the
other.
Now for the trial Itself. The ease was
opened for the crown by tin- lord advo
cate. in a speech which faithfully repre
sented tiie excited feeling of the time.
It was vigorous to the point of being pas
sionate, and its effect upon the Jury nas
reflected in their ultimate verdict.
Tim lord-advocate spoke, as 1 under
stand. without notes, a procedure which
mux wi d add io eloquence while sub
tracting from accuracy.
It is to tlds fact that one must attribute
a most fatal misstatement whlcli could
not fall, coming under such circumstances
from so high an authority, to make a
deep impression upon the hearers. For
some reason, tills misstatement does not
sppear t<> have been corrected at tiie
moment by either tiie judge or the de

Personal Charm Born of Imagination, Says Irene
Fenwick

Irene Fenwick, tn "Hawthorne U. S. A.,” at the Astor theater. New York.
By Margaret Hubbard Ayer.
"M TODERN life Is doing every
thing possibb to crush ro
mance out of things, but for
tunately. so long as people have imag
ination. they will be able to invest, tiie
every-day events of life witli colorful
possibilities and interest, and can live
in a world of their own making.”
Thus spoke Her Royal Highness
Princess Irene Fenwick, stealing a few
minutes from "Hawthorne of the U. S.
A.” to tell why it is easy to be a really
Zendaesque princess, holding an imag
inary court at the old sundial every
night, and a perfectly up-to-date and
equally pretty young girl living in New
York by daytime.
It is just a question of imagination,
and Princess Irene has quantities of it.
When I saw her she was trying to close
her practical outer ears to tiie steady
sound of steel riveting, which came
from a nearby building, and she ex
plained that she could hear anything
she wanted to. with the fine inner ears
of the imagination.
Miss Fenwick is quite as charming as
herself as she is in the part of the ro
mantic princess, and she is equally ro
mantic.
Behind her luminous blue eyes lies a
world of vivid imagination, and she

Dear,Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen yaars old, and
dearly in love with a young man of
twenty-one. I have known him one
year, and we kept company eight
months, 1 iiad a quarrel with him
and we parted four months ago. I

answer. I can not live without

short time that heartache will cease
an 1 you will be happy again. In the
meantime, while going through this pe
riod of depression, so frequent in youth
and love, carry yourself with dignity
and don't exaggerate either the value
of his love or the loss you sustain
in losing It. Pleise don't send any
more messages to him. You have made
advances enough.
THAT DEPENDS ON THE GIRL.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am working in tiie same office
w ith a girl with whom I have been
very friendly. Sue pays me mueli
attention, but I am three years
younger titan she. If 1 asked her to
keep company with mt. would it
be right to isk her to wait three
tears before 1 married tier?
ANXIOI S.
It is not wrong to ask a girl to wait
three years while her lover saves for a
home for her.
Why not let her decide? If tliejc is
any selfishness in such a plan, a wom
an’s love is usually such that she over
looks It.

“Having an imagination." said Mis a I
Fenwick, ".seems to me one of the I
greatest gifts in life. I think possibly ■
an imagination could be cultivated,
though of course there are certain peo
ple who disapprove of imagination ut
terly, and who only see life as a series
of hard, cold facts. They are the Grad
grinds of life, and, oh, how much they
miss!
"Fortunately, no matter how prosaic
our modern life may become, there is
always a beautiful realm of dreams and l
romance where each one of us has a |
kingdom all her own.
“Do I think the modern young girl
romantic? Indeed I do, and fortunately
for her, too. In Haw thornp,' when Mr.
Fairbanks and I come to tiie charming
love passages of the play, we often
hear the gurgling little 'ohs' and ‘ahs’
and the gasps of the girls in the audi
ence, and it’s sweet and encouraging to
realize that all those young people are
living the story through while we are
acting it. Every girl is a princess with
a Hawthorne for a lover. Just as every
girl imagines herself in the role of the
heroine of each book that she reads,
providing, of course, the heroine is to
her taste.
“The romantic imagination is a great
deal more than being able to see your
self playing a particularly attractive
role in life. The person with real im
agination can invest every incident of
life, no matter how trivial or how hum
drum, with the glamour of their own
fanciful thoughts. And probably the
women who go through the daily rou
tine of prosaic, uninteresting work
cheerfully and with a gallant spirit.-
have really the great romantic imagina
tions.
“These are the women who preserve
their charm despite misfortune and
drudgery, whose minds have a wonder
ful flavor and fascination no matter
how ordinary their lives may seem to
the outward eye. - These women have
real charms. Everything they do is
colored with their personality, and your
personality is the sum total of your
thoughts and actions, isn’t it? And, of
course, theie are more thoughts than
actions."
"The woman with imagination is sel
dom if ever very lonesome. Generally
she finds some outlet for her mental
activity, or if not she retires Into that
dream world of her own creation."
“How much power does a romantic
j imagination possess In counteracting
l the jarring effects of everyday life?” 1
j inquired of tiie fanciful Princess.
“A good deal more than people would
suppose," she returned quickly. "Most
of .he people who have succeeded after
a life of hard and bitter struggle have
had imagination. They may have only
hi i n able to imagine aiuiig one line, but
they have built up an Ideal, often a
purely visionary one. and then they've

that ideal.
"Tiie romantic imagination helps tide
over the hard places of life by showing
the infinite possibility which the future
holds in store for one, and in ordinary,
everyday life, imagination covers up a
multitude of those daily disagreeable
happenings upon which tile matte; of

romantic fancies have been so laughed
to scorn by older peonle that the door of
that fanciful world is closed to her for

Playing With Love
By Beatrice Fairfax
({T OVE." said Napoleon, “is the
I occupation of the idle man, the
amusement of a busy one. and
the shipwreck of a sovereign." And he
might have added that it was the play
thing of the thoughtless.
A young man, who was thoughtless
so long that he has had to begin to
think most seriously, writes me that
last January he became much interest
ed in a young lady, and secured her
acquaintance.
As time progressed they became very
intimate, and she became much at
tached to him. He says lie lias no se
rious intentions, as he is ba v ely able to
support his widowed mother, but en
■ tertained such a strong' friendly feel
| ing for the girl that he couldn’t keep
I-a wax.
His visits became so frequent that
other young men. thinking he had a
prior right, stopped going to see her,
and it became understood among their
friends that they were engaged.
He had played with love al! this time,
and when the girl's affections became
seriously Involved, lie decided that lie
must make his visits less Hequeltt. He
told her why; that he didn’t love iter,
and couldn’t marry tier. To this rather
cold-blooded decision afte: so many
months of pleasant intercourse, she re
plied that it would break her heart if
he ceased coming, and lie continued his
calls “four nights a week out of sym
pathy and duty."
After calling four limes a week, ’’out
of sympathy and duty.” for several
months, lie decided to end it. and didn’t
go again.
Then she wrote to him that if he
didn't < ome back, sh ' would do herself
bodily harm.
Because of this foolish deekyation on
her part he has resumed bls visits.
“What.” he asks. “ is to be the end?”
No one asks himself that question in
tiie beginning. Tliose who have had
the years that should stand for wisdom
are just as foolish as this young man

She can't live uithout him. H. may
