DARK DAYS.
BY HUGH CONWAY.
Author of 11 Called Back."
CHAPTER XIV.
THE CRIMINAL COURT.
We reached Charing Crosd at 4 o’clock on
the morning of {September 20. The first
train by which we could get to Tewnham
was timed to leave Liverpool street at seven,
so that we had an hour or two to spare for
such refreshment as we cared to take, such
rest as we dared to allow ourselves. What
with the fatigue of continuous travel, and
the dread of what this day was to bring
forth, it may be easily believed that we were
thoroughly worn out We were, indeed,
more fitted to go to bed and sleep for a week
than to proceed upon the last stage of our
dismal journey.
But there was no help for it. If we meant
to be in time we must go on by the early
morning train. I begged my wife to lie
down, and endeavor to snatch ah hour’s
sleep. She refused firmly. Much of that
calm which had characterized her since the
moment when I broke the fatal news to her
had vanished. Its place was now taken by
an excitement, suppressed, but nevertheless
clearly manifest to mv eyes. The fear that
we should not reach Tewnham in time for
the trial seemed to haunt her unceasingly.
It was for this reason she so p remptorily
refused to lie down and court sleep. She
feared lest, our eyes once closed, we should,
from sheer exhaustion, sleep for hours, and
so miss the morning train. She was ever
picturing the horror of that poor unknown
man being led from the dock, with the
death sentence ringnig in his ears.
So the time which elapsed before we started
for Tewnham we spent in the hotel. I be
spoke rooms by telegram, sent when we
reached Folkestone. We made an apology
for a meal; in fact, what we could get at
that time of night was of Jtsolf little more
than apology. Wa sat all but silent, watch
ing the hands of the clock, which told us
how fast the precious moments were passing
away. We saw the gray morning struggle
with, and at last conquer, the yellow gas
light. We heard the hum of traffic growing
louder and louder in the streets below us.
Then we turned to make what may be right
ly called our last adieus. Who could say
that to-day my wife and I might not be
parted forever?
While at the hotel I tried to obtain the
file of the Times. I wanted to look back
and see if I could find the account of magis
terial proceedings against this unlucky Wil
liam Evans. He must, of course, have ap
rjared before the lesser tribunal, and could
see the account of his appearance I should
be able to judge as to the strength of the
case against him. But the file was not forth
coming. Perhaps it did not exist; perhaps
the sleepy-eyed Teutonic waiter did not un
derstand what I wanted; so, still in the dark
as to why suspicion should have fallen upon
this innocent man, we left the hotel and
drove to Liverpool street station.
At 9 o’clock our journey was ended. We
stood on the platform of Tewnham railway
station. My poor wife wore a thick black
veil, so her face I could not see; but I knew
it was as pale as death. Now’ and again her
hand, which rested on my arm, pressed it
convulsively. I think we were the most un
happy pair on the earth!
We were even denied the time for any
more farewells or expressed regrets. The
hour was chiming from the old cathedral
tower. The business of the courts, I knew,
always began at 10 o’clock, and considering
the crowd which would most surely be at
tracted by so interesting a case as this trial
for murder committed so many months ago,
I felt sure that unless we proceeded at once
to the Shirehall our chance of gaining en
trance would be but a small one. I hailed
one of the close cabs which were waiting
outside the station.
As I did so I felt a heavy hand laid upon
my shoulder and h<-ard a rich, pleasan t
soundin? and not unfamiliar voice exclaim,
“Basil North, as I’m a sinner !”
That anv one should at this moment ad
dress Basil North in a merry way seemed
a positive incongruity. I turned around al
most angrily, and founa myself face to face
.with an old friend. He was a barrister
named Grant; a man four or five years my
senior, but one wdth whom, before I for
swore the society of my fellow-men, I had
been on intimate terms. I had not seen him
for a considerable time; but had heard,
casually, that he was making great strides
in his forensic career.
In spite of my distress I returned his
greeting and grasped his hand warmly. Af
ter all it seemed a relief to find that I had a
friend left in the world.
“What brings you here?” I asked.
“The only thing that could bring me to
such a place—circuit work. I have an im
portant case on to-day. That’s the worst
of a place so near London as this one. One
is tempted to sp< i nd the nights in town,
which means getting up at an unholy hour
in the morping. But you! Why are you
here? I heard you were as rich as Midas,
and living abroad in luxury.”
“I have been abroad for some time. I
hope to go back again very soon.”
‘Happy man!” he ejaculated. I could
scarcely keep the bitter smile from my lips
as I thought how ill applied were his words.
As he spoke he glanced at Philippa, whose
grace and beauty of form defied the con
cealment attempted by thick veil and som
bre garments.
“But what brings you to this sleepy old
town?” continued Grant.
I hesitated for a moment. Then, think
ing that truth, or at least half truth, was
the best, told him I had come down to wit
ness the trial for murder.
“I should doubt your getting into court,”
he said. “The morbid interest excited
around about here is, I am told, very great.
The sheriff is besieged by applications for
tickets ”
“Couldn’t you help me! The fact is, I
have a particular reason, not mere curiosity,
for wishing to be present at this trial."
“I don’t think I can,” said Grant. “Does
your—the lady wish to go with you!”
“My cousin—yes,” I said seeing that he
expected an introduction. He raised his
hat and made some court ous and pleasant
remark, to which Philippa, to my surprise,
replied in u calm an I fitting way
Grant knew I had no sister. I called her
cousin because 1 had a wild hope that, if the
worst happened, I might be able to conceal
the true r lationship in which we stood, and
so l>e permitted to give evidence on her be
half. I trusted my wife would guess that I
had a good reason for this deception.
“Try and manage this for me, Grant,” I
said so earnestly that my friend made no
further demur.
“Take me in your cab, and I will see what
I can do.”
During our drive to the Shirehall I asked
Grant what he knew about the impending
trial.
“Nothing,” he said, frankly. "I hate
murder cases —hate even to read about them.
Df course I know that Sir Mervyn Ferrand
was killed and hidden in the snow for days
and days. But I know no more.”
“Who is the accused!”
“I don’t know. I thought, from your
anxiety, you must know him.”
“Will he be found guilty!"
“I don’t know. Stay, I heard some one
who ought to be well informed say yester
day that the case for the prosecution was
most feeble. He seemed to doubt if the
grand jury would return a true bill.”
As 1 heard this I pressed Philippa’s hand
secretly. 1 felt that she was trembling.
The drive to the Shirehall occupied only a
few minutes. We did not go to the public
entrance, in front of which I could see a
crowd of people nearly blocking up the
street. We stopped at another door, and
Grant, after looking around, caught sight of
what appeared to be an inspector of police.
He entered into a little conversation with
THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY. JANUARY 0, 1885.
him, the result of which was that we were
given into his care.
“Ibis is a breach of the law," whispered
my friend as he Lad‘ me good-bye. “You
mH have to atone for it by a handsome
gratuity.”
We followed our guide. Philippa, al
though walking with a firm step, leaned
heavily upon uiy arm. I scarcely know by
what door we entered that palace of jus
tice. The stalwart policeman led us through
stone corridors and passages, which re
echoed with the tread or our feet, and at
last we found Ourselves before a double
swinging plain oak door, over which in old
English letters was written “Criminal
Court.”
I felt Philippa shudder, and knew that
the Sight of those words brought tile horror
of the situation fully home to her. Mechan
ically I pressed a sovereign in the hand of
the venial inspector, or whatever he was;
then, holding my wife’s hand, I passed
through the noiseless swinging door into the
all but empty court
A few policemen and other officials were
lounging about. Two or three people, who
had no doubt gained admittance in the same
way as wo bad done, were seated in various
coignes of vantage. lied Philippa up the
broad steps, and pointed to one of the hard
wooden benches provided for the accommo
dation of the general public. These benches
were raised t?p by step, one above another.
We chose our -position about half-way up,
on tae right-han 1 side of the court Phil
ippa, with her thick veil falling down to her
chin, and so defying recognition, sank wear
ily into her seat. 1 plaoed myself beside
her; my hand crept under the cloak she
wore and held her hand.
Surely, it was all a dream—a dreadful,
realistic dream! I should wake and find
myself under the great orange tree in that
courtyard in gay Seville, my hair-smoked
cigar and the book which I had be n lazily
reading lying at my feet; my mother oppo
site me, laughing at my somnolency, and
Philippa’s grave dark eyes looking with
calm everlasting love into my own. 1
should wake and find the cool of the evening
had succeeded to the glare of the afternoon.
We should walk through the merry streets,
lounge in the Alameda, wander through the
glowing Alcazar gardens, or drive out miles
ami miles over the fertile smiling plains. Or
I should even wake and find myself nodding
over my fire in my lonely cottage, the stolid
William the only human creature within
hail; Philippa’s return, the snow storm, the
dreadful discovery, the flight, Saville, the
marriage—all, all a dream I
In a kind of stupor—the temporary reac
tion, I suppose, consequent upon such fatigue
and trouble—l gazed around me, and won
dered where I was.
What is this great empty building, lit
frpm one side by large clerartory windows
raised boxes on either side Os the building—
of ecclesiastical design? What are these
dull gray vacant walls, that lofty ceiling,
crossed and cut into small squares by dark
rafters, this leaded floor on which feet
fall all but noiselessly’ What are those
those small railed platforms all but adjoin
ing them, ami all but adjoining that paneled
oak structure at the end lacing me!
What is that rectangular box shaped
erection with overhanging carved cornice!
Let us away from this dismal, colorless
place! Lot me wake anil find myself amid
the flowers, orange trees, the fair sights and
surroundings of our Spanish home.
No! I have but to turn my dazed ej es to
the centre of space in which we sat to know
that I am dreaming no dream; that we must
wait hero and learn our fates. That oblong
wooden enclosure with high sides, topped by
a light iron railing, brings reality back to
me. It is the prisoner’s dock. In an hour’s
tpne a man will stand there. He will be
brought up those stone steps which lead to
it from below, the topmost flag of which I
can just see. He will stand there for hours.
As he leaves the dock, declared innocent or
guilty, so will oul- lives be declared happy
or miserable.
My hand holds my wife’s yet closer; for
the last minutes which may be ours to
spend together are slipping by so fast, go
very fast!
See, the clock under the balcony marks
half-past nine. The all but deserted court
begins to assume the appearance of pre
paring for business. Policemen and other
officials pass to and fro, some arranging
papers, some replenishing ink-bottles, and
placing quill pens ready for tl>e barristers
and solicitors who will soon fill those front
seats. Some one, with what seems to me
bitter irony, places a magnificent bouquet
of flowers on either hand of the judge’s va
cant chair. What have flowers in common
with such a scene as this! Flowers, too,
which are beautiful enough to recall to
my mind the fair Spanish home, which,
maybe, we shall see no more. Flowers in
this den of sorrow! Rather should every
seat, every beam, be draped in black.
Now the doors of each side of the court
open, and remain open. I hear a shuffling
of many feet. Fennie, in a continuous
stream, pass through the entrance, and
wend their way to the portion of the court
allotted to the general public. So fast, so
thick they come, that in ten minutes this
space is thronged almost to suffocation.
Philippa and I pressed closer and closer to
each other, as every inch of the bench on
which -we are seated is appropriated. The
court is full.
Crowded by respectable-looking, well
dressed people, who have gained admission,
as I heard, by favor of tbe sheriff. Yet,
respectable as they are, each man, each
woman, rushes in eagerly and strives for
the best available seat. And for what rea
son ! To see and hear a poor wretch tried
for his life! In my bitter mood I look with
hate on these sensation seekers. I hate them
even more when I think that their morbid
craving for excitement may be satisfied with
such food as they little expect; and I clinch
my teeth as I picture the scene at that mo
ment when Philippa, in pursuance of her
immovable resolution, rises, and makes her
effort to proclaim her own guilt and the
convicted man’s innocence. Although I
strive to force the picture from my mind,
by telling myself that justice cannot err,
that the man will be acquitted, yet again
and again the dread of the worst seizes nqe,
and I hate everv face in that crowd, which
i mar, by and bv, be gaping, with looks of
wonder and curiosity, at the woman I love I
i As in a haze I see some faces which are
I familiar to me. A number of gentlemen
enter and seat themselves on the benches
which counsel usually occupy. Some few of
these I knew by sight. They are country
gentlemen from the neighborhood of Rod
> ing, who are now called to serve on the
grand jiuy. I see also the thin-faced, hawk
i ish-looking woman who calls herself Mrs.
Wilson. I am thankful that she takes a
I seat in front of us and does not see us. She,
like ourselves, must know that an innocent
I man is this day about to be tried.
i So for half an hour I sit, gazing now at
the crowd of people, now at the empty dock
and vacant bench in front of me; listening
ing to the hum of voices which rises from
I the packed court; longing for the moment
■ to come when this dreadful suspense may
end; y-t all the same dreading and willing
, to put off that moment. And all the while
Philippa, in her black garb, close to me and,
I unseen bv our neighbors, holding my hand.
. Hush I The door at the back of the bench
opens, and nt ten o’clock to the minute the
black-robed judge appears. He bows to the
■ court, seats himself, and by his action signi
fies that he is ready to begin the business of
the day. No trembling prisoner in the dock
, ever scanned the judge’s face with more
anxiety than I scan his lordship’s at this
, present mom°nt.
, An old man. too old, it seems to me, for
such a responsible post; an amiable, pleasant
I looking man—not, I venture to think, one
who can bear the reputation of being a
, “hanging judge” I b-.«-athe a prayer that
. he may this day be able to direct aright the
, course of justice.
, Hush! Hush! Silence in the court! Oh,
my poor, sweet wife, let me grasp that hand
’ yet closer, for the moment which for' days
and nights has ner»r been absent from our
i minds has come I What will it bring us ?
GULLIBILITY.
The wild phnntoms and shrieking cries of a worth
less humbug can make money by imposing upon the
credulity and ignorance Os an honest public, and the
supply of this species of work seems more than an
adequate demand.
'lhe enunciation of facts —facts that have stood
crucial tests—facts proven by brain force and tangi
ble evidonce. should satisfy all laudable enterprises;
but the excrable habit s of teaching false ideas and
doctrines for self aggrandizement is truly reprehensi
ble, and shou d be scorned by all classes.
When we tell the public that B. B. 8., the great
Blood Poison Remedy, contains Io ide of Potash as
one of its ingredients, and when we, as old members
of the medical profession, say th it lodide of Potash is
not a poison, wc think it very presumptive for men
outside of the profession to assert that it is a poison.
The facts do not warrant such a conclusion, and if
those who make the assertion that Potash is a poison
do not know better, they are a set of unenviable ig
noramuses.
As a solid foundation of heavy masonry has been
built for B. B. 8., upon which it is now proudly
perched —the broken arches and fatten columns of
brazen humbugs will soon be in search of fresh
‘cock and bull’’ tories and Jmore printers’ ink, but
merit cannot be downed. Although B. B. B is only
one year old, j’et its effect—its magical and peerless
power over ail blood, skin and kidney diseases, has
been indelibly enstamped upon the tablets of the
mt mo. y of thousands here at home, who have bee' 1
cured after having used hundreds of bottles of other
remedies.
Compared toother remedies, B. B. B. is the radient
sunbeam of midday, flinging its glittering glare to
saddened hearts, while others are pale moonbeams,
pushing along through misty meshes of darkness, in
search of something they can cu r e.
It cures Blood Diseases and Poisons, Catarrh, Old
Ulcers, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Skin Diseases, Kidney
troubles, etc., and we hold a 32-page book full of evi
dence —Atlanta evidence —that cannot be doubted,
proving all we claim. Our certificates are not pliar.-
tasmagorical, nor far-fetched, but are voluntary out
