Mrs. Upottery was an upatandlng woman, and her face, not remarkable for Us alluring femininity. Indicated unusual strength of character. It. a square, somewhat rugged face, wrin kled, with thin expressive llpe, a slight mustache above the upper Up, a thick nose above the mustache, and a small black bonnet above the nose. She wore complete mourning. Her black- gloved hands were crossed at her waist and In one hand was a purse and a black bordered handkerchief. As a bulwark of the respectability of Mr. Hltgay’s establishment she left noth ing to be desired. 'It was said yesterday,” she began, ‘that I occupied the next room to the late captain.” She glanced round the court superciliously and In particular showed her contempt for the Jury. “And what If I did? I couldn’t help ft. could I?" “My good woman’ “Excuse me! I’m not your good wo man/’ she said, leaving the coroner for the first time at momentary loss for a retort. "It that Is all you .have to day”- "It Isn’t all I have to say. But don’t know that all London will be putting two and two together this blessed day, and saying that Mrs. Upottery had the room next to the captain’s, and that It was In a boarding house—and there you are! My character gone! Espe cially as there was no room on the other side of the captain's. So I’ve come to explain." •What?" 'Well for one thing, I think I’d bet ter tell you that that tooth out of a comb that the swell young man found behind the captain’s door came out of my comb." ’’Yes?” the coroner encouraged her. "And how did it get Into his room?" "It got ln there like this,” said Mrs. Upottery. ”1 was engaged to be mar ried to the poor captain.” And she burst Into sobs—sobs which had at least the effect of quenching an Incipient laughter In the public assem- "This engagement was secret?" questioned the coroner, kindly. "Yes," said Mrs. Upottery, controll ing herself. "Henry wished It to be so.” Instantly the coroner and tile report ers made a note to the effect that the deceased's Christian name was Henry. "Was It of long standing'?'’ "I came to the Corner House on the ilth of October"- "That was the day after the captain arrived," the coroner put ln. ‘T think It was. And the captain took a fancy to me at once. He didn't •ay much. He didn't say anything. But I could see It. I wanted to be fair with him, so I took an opportunity of telling him that I'd burled my third. But that made no difference. He was set on me. It was In his eye. He found out that I had the habit of tak ing n walk ln the Embankment Gar dens most line mornings and hs fol lowed me there. Then he fell III. I used to nurse him a little, but quiet like, because In them boarding houses you can't be too particular, and no one ever saw me In his room. Then hs proposed to me. Said he’d never loved any one for twenty years, since hit first wife died, and would I Join my fate with his, and I said I would. And he was sitting up In bed. And he kiss ed me; and my comb fell out and I trod on It, and that's the explanation of that tooth, and I’m telling you because these things always do come to light sooner or later, and It's bett as I should keep nothing back, delicate as my position lx." •When was the proposal?" •'Monday last.” (’The day before the captain met his death?” "The day before the captain was murdered," said Mrs. Upottery, with terrible emphasis. And there was Tho" revelatlon of the singular Idyll had a strange effect on everybody present. It appeared to be so Inti mate a commingling of the farcical and the tragic that people wanted to grin and weep In the same moment. The courtship was quits brief, Mrs. Upottery?" ventured the coroner. ’’Yes. But he fell In love at first sight," said tbs wrinkled creature who had represented to Captain Pollexfen the charm and sweet seductiveness of her sex. And she said it ln such a voice that none of her hearers dared move a muscle. "Have you any theory as to the cap tain’s death?” the coroner asked. "I have,” said she. “And It Is more than a theory. Henry was captain of the steamship Volga that traded to Odessa” "What line?” "1 don’t know what line. How should I know what line? You men ought to be able to find that out, surely. There aren’t forty steamships named Volga, I suppose?” She seemed hurt. "Continue,” said the coroner. "His boat was In Odessa i harbor while ths riots were on there. And a Russian police officer that was being pursued by tbs mob took refuge In the captain’s dinghy, and the captain rowed him off to bis ship and saved hla life. The leaders of the mob called on the captain to give him up, and wouldn’t Not him! Then the captain received a note from a secret society sentencing him to death. Now, I’m sure the captain was killed by a secret agent. I know he was.” • "Why do you think that?" asked the coroner. "I slipped Into Henry's room after he’d been out on Tuesday evening about 9 o'clock. Just to see if hs wasn’t any worse for his walk, and there was another man In the room, a youni: man, a foreigner, I’m certain. Ant I Henry says to me: ‘I’m busy with this gentleman for a minute, Mrs. Upot tery,’ he says. And the man bowed ln a foreign way, and I walked out never thought at the moment there might be anything wrong.” "Did you see this mysterious for eigner go?" "I didn't see him go and I didn't hear him go. And I never saw the captain alive again.' 'And you heard nothing during the night?” ‘‘Nothing, and I never saw the cap tain alive again,” she repeated, her black-bordered handkerchief at her eyes. “I am obliged to you for coming for ward,” said the coroner. "If you have nothing else to tell us you may step down.” One moment” said the foreman of the Jury. Mrs. Upottery turned on him like a tigress. "Was the captain In fear of his life?” He pretended he wasn't poor brave fellow!” answered Mrs. Upottery. And she stepped down. She had awed the court the Jury, and the pub lic. There were men present who re garded the captain’s death as a narrow escape on his part of having married Mrs. Upottery. “One more wltneae, sir,” said ths coroner's officer. "Just come, sir.” "Who Is that?" A well-groomed, youngish man, ob viously of the city, stood up. "I had Instructions from my prin cipals to take a cab hers at once, Mr. Coroner, and offer you all the help In their power.” The voice wu fresh and glib. "And who are your principals?" “Messrs. Graham, Farquhar & Gra ham, of Cannon street shipowners— owners of the Volga and two other steamers." "Swear him," eald the coroner lacon ically. The new witness gave ths name of Lancelot Sprague and described him self as manager to Messrs.

WRITE ME FOR RATES AND INFORMATION, J. P. VAN RENSSELAER, General Agt., 124 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Ga. R - 0. BEAN, T. P. A. late Captain Pollexfen was In 'your firm’s servicer’ the coroner be gan. "He had been. After his list voyage he retired." “When was that?" “About seven weeks ago.” "He had been with you long?" “Several years. My principal were perfectly satisfied with him.” “He retired simply because he wished to retire, then?" , "Yes; at least he gave no other rea son." "How old was her’ "Rather over sixty, I should say.” "Then, as hs was retiring, he must have had some savings, something to live on?” "Hs had over two thousand pounds Invested In our business. It was yield ing him an excellent percentage. And ray principals ware very much surpris ed, not only at his sudden retirement, but at hie strongly expressed desire to have his capital at once. When he was Informed that capital could not be disturbed so quickly as that without serious inconvenience and perhaps loss he was annoyed. He seemed In ths highest degree anxious to handle all the money hs possessed at ths earliest possible moment. Hs called on us several times to this end. Ultimately we arranged to satisfy him. The two thousand pounds was found and paid over to him, and we hold hie receipt In full.” “When was thatr’ "Last Tuesday afternoon about o’clock." "You paid him by check V' “Yes, in ths first place. But he was a peculiar old man In some respects and didn’t hold checks In much esteem. He wanted notee. Ho we got him to Indorse the check and we aent a mes senger round to Lloyd’s Bank to cash It before the bank cloeed. And we handed, shortly before 4 o'clock, twen ty-one notes of a hundred pounds to Captain Pollexfen, together with twen ty-one pound! elx shillings and six pence In gold and silver.” “Then he left your office with this sum In his possession ?” "Precisely." An immense sensation In court "Did you keep the numbers of the notes?" Most certainly. I am Inetructed to state' that It wae not until we opened our newspapers this morning that we had the slightest Idea of what had hap pened to Captain Pollexfen. Otherwise, of course, my principals would have put themselves at your service yester day.” I am Indebted to your principals," observed the Coroner with a slight Ironic Inflection. Not at all. sir.” And Mr. Lance lot Hprague’s brief hour of publicity was over. •Mrs. Upottery," the corofier called out. 'Sir." The mourning woman atood up. v '•Did the deceased mention anything to you of hla having received the sum of two thousand odd pounds?" I did not see him privately after his return from the city.” "But he returned before dinner, ac cording to the evidence of Mr. Hll gay. Did you not meet him at din ner?" ”1 met him st dinner. We sat at op posite ends of the table, however, from motives of prudence.” "Did he never ten you that he was expecting this sum?” "I never encouraged him to talk about money,” said Mrs. Upottery. "I was not marrying him for his money. "You still think. In. face of the evl dencc of the shlpwonera, that his mur- der was the vengeance of some Russian secret society?" “I do," said Mrs. Upottery, and add ed grimly, “Two thousand pounds would be useful enough to their pre cious revolutionary cause, I imagine.’ And half the men In court thought "This Is no ordinary woman.” “About the negro Coco’s story of treasure, did the captain ever such a thing to you 7” “Oh. that!" replied Mrs. Upottery curtly. "That was a harmless crass of the poor captain. I should have stopped that, of course; I humored it for the time being." Her heavy contralto voice vibrated curiously ln the packed and Intent chamber. It seemed to continue vi brating after sbe had sat down. “Gentleman,” said the coroner, facing the Jury, "you have heard the evidence, which Is of a sufficiently contradictory nature, and yet not extremely oomplex. We have learned that the deceased went out ln the afternoon, of Tues day from this singular lodging house of Hllgay’e after having been 111 or in- disposed for a week. He was In the office of Messrs. Graham, Farquhar A Graham at 1 o'clock. He stayed there till nearly 4. He was seen to re-enter the lodging house about 5; Presum ably he went to his room. He dined os usual. He went out afterward for about half an hour, and returned about 8. There M no evldenoe to ehow where he went. The last of the wltneeses to see him alive ' was apparently Mrs. Upottery. You will note what she said as to-ths presence of a second person In his room. We have no evidence to show how or when that person entered the lodging house or how or when he left. From the time of the brief visit of Mrs. Upottery to the next morning we lose sight of the deceased. And then we find him buried ln a trench opposite the house. The doctor con jectures that he died about midnight. “Now, If he was not killed by the foreign-looking person was ths murder committed Inside or outside the house? The only evidence bearing on the point Is the absence of noise, which would point’ to a murder outside the house. But on the other hand—and this Is very Important—why should the deceased consent to leave the house surreptitiously, as ha must have left It If he left it alive, by means of the back stairs?/ Certainly he might have done so, for whereas the lights at the back of the house are turned out at II, the captain was not dead till 12. "It the deceased was killed In the house, he may have been killed either by the foreign-looking person whom Mrs. Upottery saw In the room or by a lodger In the house, or by some oth er person who surreptitiously Intro duced himself Into the house. Was more than one person concerned In the murder? In this connection, you doubtless noted that the deceased. In the opinion of the doctor, weighed per haps eleven stone, a fairly heavy weight to be carried down the back stairs of ths house, or even to be lowered with ropes from a window. But according to the evidence of the gnnger the spade work of the burial was done by an ex perienced hand. In this matter, an ex* pertenced hand would be a strong hatrd perienend , _ , , —a hand possibly capable of manipu lating even eleven stone of dead weight without making too much noise., "With reference to the medical evi dence, I should point out that the lo calities of ths hemorrhages In the brain, the pons Variolli and the fourth ventricle, are ths cardiac and respira tory centers and that, these being af fected, the deceased did In all proba bility die instantaneously. "As regards light on the motive of the crime, you have ths eternal hidden treasure tale discredited by the fiancee of the deceased. You have Mrs. Upot- tsry's blean's story of a Russian secret society’s vengeance. And lastly you have the fact that ths deceased had two thousand one hundred and twen ty-one pounds six and sixpence In hla pocket, and that this money, together with all his papers, has disappeared. I leave your sagacity to choose be tween the three things. The disap pearance of the deceased’s relatives Is either a remarkable coincidence, sines ths bag contained apparently an Inval uable clew to the murderer.

The .coroner began to write, as though he had suddenly forgotten the very existence of the Jury. The sixteen men that constituted the Jury turned to each other and whisper ed together with hlanched and Impor tant faces. But In spite of the anxiety of the long grnybeard to weigh every pro und con In a balance, the for mality of deliberation could not be prolonged more than a few minutes. The foremen cleared his throat. "Ws are of opinion that the deceased, Henry Pollexfen. wss murdered by some person or persons unknown.” There was a rush for ths doors. The drama was over. Outside Philip met Sir Anthony, who had been unable to force an entrance Into the court. "Man!" cried the baronet, excitedly. •Why didn’t you come last night? I’ve something I must tell you at once." (Continued ln Tomorrow's Georgian.) The people of Lee county are In censed over the action of a very white mulatjo, who palmed himself off os a white man and married Miss Eva Green, a very worthy and respectable young white woman of that county, He skipped out on August 21 and If he Is caught there will likely be lynching bee down near the Alabama line. The negro's name Is A. T. Wll •on. Governor Terrell has offered 1100 reward for his capture. The negro was well dressed and went to Idle county, pretending he was white, associating with whits people. In the early part of the year he married Miss Green and skipped out by the light of the.moon when he feared detection. The following description Is given of the negro: "He Is about 6 feet 9 Inches high, Ighs about 145 or 160 pounds, ths llt- flnger on one hand (think on right) Is twisted and appears to have been broken, has high cheek bones, cheeks somewhat sunken, bow-legged and pig eon-toed, dark swarthy complexion, with a mole on chesk,, dark eyes and hair: last seen was clean shaven; has quick speech, with somewhat of an Irish brogue; walks fast, and very erect. Wilson Is what may be called a Jack at all trades—painter, brick mason, carpenter, paper hanger.
