The reader has already a grasp of the
facts, but some fresh details came out at
the trial which may be enumerated here.
They have to be lightly touched upon
within the limits of such an argument as
this, but those who desire a fuller sum
mary will find it in an account of the
trial published by Hodge, of Edinburgh,
and ably edited by William Roughead,
w. s.
HIS ACTIONS.
On this book and on the verbatim pre
cognitions and shorthand account of the
American proceedings, 1 base my own ex
amination of the case. First, as to Sla
ter's movements upon the day of the
crime. He began the day, according to
the account of himself and the women, by
, the receipt of the two letters already re
ferred to. which caused him to hasten
his journey to America. The whole day
seems to nave been occupied by prepara
tions for his impending departure. He
gave his servant Sehmalz notice as from
next Saturday. Before five (as was
shown by the postmark upon the en
velope), he wrote to a postoffice in Lon
don, where he had 'some money on de
posit. At 6:12 a telegram was sent in his
name and presumably by him from the
Central station to Dent, London, for his
watch, which was being repaired. Ac
cording to the evidence of two witnesses
he was seen in a billiard room at 6:20.
The murder, it will be remembered, was
done at seven. He remained about ten
minutes in the billiard room, and left
some time between 6:30 and 6:40.
Rathrtian, one of these witnesses, de
posed that he had at the time a mus
tache about a quarter of an inch long,
which was so noticeable that no one
could take him fpr a clean-shaven man.
Antolrte, his mistress, and Sehmalz, the
servant, both deposed that Slater dined
at home at 7 o’clock. The evidence of the
girl Is no doubt questionable, but there
was no possible reason why the dismissed
servant Sehmalz should perjure herself
for the sake of her ex-employer.
The distance between Slater’s fiat and
that of Miss Gilchrist is about a quarter
of a mile. From the billiard room to
Slater’s flat is about a mile. He had to
go for the hammer and bring it back,
unless he had it jutting out of his pocket
all day. But unless the evidence of the
two 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 9:45 that night. Slater was engaged
In his usual occupation of trying to raise
the wind at sopie small gambling club.
The club master saw no discomposure
about his dress i whleh was the same as,
according to the crown, he had done this
bloody crime In), and swore that he was
then wearing a short mustache, "like
stubble.” thus corroborating Rathinan. It
will be remembered that Lamble 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, the 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 he had reason to fear pur
suit from his real wife, and wished to
cover his traces. This may or may not
be the truth,- but it is undoubtedly the
fact that Slater, who was a disreputa
ble rolling stone of a man, had already
assumed several aliases in the course of
his career. It is to 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 those which are either
unessential or redundant. It will be 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 be 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 with
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 lie
should not have expected such a weapon
to cause such wounds
FACTS ON ONE SIDE
It may well be remembered in this
summary of the evidence I may seem to
have stated the case entirelj from the
point of view of the defense. In reply. 1
would only ask the reader to take the
trouble to read the extended evidence. If
he will do so, he will realize that without
a conscious mental effort toward special
pleading, there is no other way tn which
the story can he told. The facts are on
one side. The conjectures, the unsatis
factory identifications, the damaging flaws
and the very strong prejudices upon the
other.
Now for the trial itself. The case was
opened for the crown by the lord advo
cate. in a speech which faithfully repre
sented the excited feeling of the time.
It was vigorous to the point of being pas
sionate, and its effect upon the jury was
reflected in their ultimate verdict.
The lord-advocate spoke, as I under
stand. without notes, a procedure which
may well add to eloquence while sub
tracting from accuracy
It is to this fact that one must attribute
a most fatal misstatement whjch could
not fall, coming under such circumstances
from so high an authority, to make a
deep impression upon the hearers. For
some reason, this misstatement dots not

Irene Fenwick, in “Hawthorne, U. S. A.,” at the Astor theater, New York.
By Margaret Hubbard Ayer.
A TODERN life Is doing every
jy/| thing possible to crush ro
mance out of things, but for
tunately, so long as people have Imag
ination, they will be able to invest the
every-day events of life with 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 the 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
Advice to the
Lovelorn
By Beatrice Failfax.
YES, YOU CAN.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen years old, and
dearly in love with a young man of
twenty-one. I have known him one
year, and we kept company eight
months. I had a quarrel with him
and we parted four months ago. I
told a friend to ask him if he wish
ed my company, but have had no
answer. I can not live without
him L. B.
You can live without him. In a very
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. Please 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 the same office
with a girl xvlth whom I have been
very friendly. She pays me mueii
attention, but I am three years
younger than she. If 1 asked her to
keep company with me. would it
be right to ask her to wait three
years before I married iter?
ANXIOUS.
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 there is
any' selfishness in such a plan, a wom
an's love is usually such that she over
looks it.
PUT YOUR MIND ON YOUR WORK.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am deeply In love with a young
man. All day at work I do nothing
but think of him. I send him pos
tals quite often, and he asks me if
1 send them and I say no. Do you
think J ought to tell him? I never
showed him that I cared anything
for him. I am seventeen and he is
twenty-tw«k J love him verv much.

frankly admits that it is peopled with
non-existent shadows that to her are
as real as you and I.
"Having an imagination,” said Miss
Fenwick, "seems to me one of the
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
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 'Hawthorne,' when Mr.
Fairbanks and I come to the 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, there 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
imagination possess In counteracting
the jarring effects of everyday life?” I
inquired of the fanciful Princess.
”A good deal more than people would
suppose,” she returned quickly. “Most
of the people who have succeeded after
a life of hard and bitter struggle have
had imagination. They may have only
been able to imagine along one line, but
they have built up an ideal, often a
purely visionary one, and then they’ve

worked and worked and materialized
that ideal.
"The 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,
eyeryday life, imagination covers up a
multitude of those daily disagreeable
happenings upon which the matter of
fact person dwells with apparent relish,
while the imaginative person escapes
from them, to hide in her fanciful ro
mantic world of dreams.

imagination has been stunted or whose
romantic fancies have been so laughed
to scorn by older people that the door of
that fanciful world is closed to her for
ever. She has lost a refuge from lone
liness: a home of Inspiration, and some
of that intangible thing called personal
charm, which is born of imagination.”

Before you use a new gas mantel,

Often when children suffer from
headache it is an indication that their

such is the case. In such cases an

it can often be cured in a few years,

Playing With Love
By Beatrice Fairfax
OVE,” said Napoleon, “is the
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 he has no se
rious intentions, as he is barely able to
support his widowed mother, but en
tertained such a strong friendly feel
ing for the girl that he couldn’t keep
away.
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 all this time,
and when the girl’s affections became
seriously involved, he decided that he
must make his visits less frequent. He
told her why; that he didn’t love her.
and couldn't marry her. To this rathet
cold-blooded decision after so many
months of pleasant intercourse, she re
plied that it would break her heart If
he ceased coming, and he continued his
calls "four nights a week out of sym
pathy and duty.”
After calling four times a week, “out
of sympathy and duty,” for several
months, he decided to end it. and didn’t
go again.
Then she wrote to him ' that if he
didn’t come back, she would do herself
bodily harm.
Because of this foolish declaration on
her part he has resumed his visits.
“What," he asks, ” is to be the end?”
No one asks himself that question In
the beginning. Those who have had
the years that should stand for wisdom
are just as foolish as this young man
They deliberately play with matches,
and when a blaze results, turn to their
friends and ask, “What is to be the
end?”
There are many endings to an affair
of this kind, and the right end depends
on the rationality of those concerned.
If this girl is foolish and hysterical, as
her declaration to him implies, his pun
ishment is all the greater.
He- will merit all he receives. It is
with the girl lam most concerned. It
is to her that I make the plea to be
sensible and act like a rational being.
He doesn’t love her. Can she prove
that she has lost much? By forcing
his attentions she lowers herself In her
own estimation, and feeds the flame of
his vanity.
She can’t live without him. He may
be frightened by such a statement, but
he is of the nature that Is also flat
tered.
She can live without him! Sho must!
She will! If instead of looking at the
