Jethroe swallowed twice, but made no answer. ■lt looks like a hand hard to beat, if rou ask me." Ute sheriff continued. •Pang it. 1 tell you a feller can't be too careful what he puts in writin’ t ! A Mier can shoot his mouth off ill» ! front of a dozen witnesses and then deny he even said a word -and set up a claim lie's bein' framed by a lot o' blackmailers, but when his John Hancock is there to prove he did one thing, and a court record says ho swore ho never done it. it certainly looks like I'rn going to have to take another trip to San Quentin or FolI som with a felon.” "I have no doubt you’ll enjoy the journey," Jethroe rasped. , “Well, once in a while I do git a kick out o’ this sorry job s>’ niinV, Bentley admittedMf^iell.

'Taint what you’re used to but it's the worst we got. Jim,” he said, turning to the waiting jailer, “you don't happen to have picked up a couple of Indians or drunken sheep-herd-frs while I been away, have you?” Jim confessed he had a miner with delirium tremens and a Modoc buck in for assault with intent to kill. "Turn ’em in with Mr. Jethroe." Bentley ordered. “The gentleman’s right low in his speerits and will be wawt’n’ company to keep him amtisetl He ain't had a chance to do his daily | dozen today, so ntebe he’d enjoy ; wras'.lin’ with that miner. Don’t tell nu> Hie feller ain't violent, Jim?” His mocking chuckle followed Jeth- , roe through the door into the jail corridor. and the sheriff turned to Garland. “Come on over to t.he house and have supper with the family, leu've met the missus, but I want you should see them four fine gals o' mine four of a kind and a hard hand to beat, in spite of their father.

bered hills are the habitat of men and ' women whose characters have been 1 'molded upon tne Anglo-Saxon code I of behavior, and the ancient code still' 'prevails. No immigrant scum of con- 1 tral and southeastern Europe has come 1 to corrode the body politic, with its I ' tierce passions and greed, its defiance I l of law and order, its vendettas, and I * other heritages of dark and tarnished' | blood, which, of late years, have been largely responsible for what the news- 1 i papers are pleased to call our crime I wave. The superior judge of Siskiyou Is l not an overworked man; his calendar Is never clogged with cases clamoring I to be heard; there is none of the law’s | delay that, in more crowded commun-' jities, disgraces our judicial system; I land Jim Kirby, the district attorney”, I had made up his mind that the man I who had saved the life of his child| at the price of his own liberty and facial disfigurement and suffering' should now have the justice so long• denied him. Before proceeding to set in motion the legal machinery that would initiate that happy result, he had assured I himself that the statute of limitations' would not operate to free Jethroe 1 from the consequences of his duplicity. and with the indictment secured I he moved swiftly into action. On Monday morning at ten o’clock Bentley brought Jethroe into court, to i plead Jk) the indictment bgainst him.. The latter's attorney, one James P.' Rigdon, had already arrived in town to represent his client, and when Jethroe, as a matter of course, pleaded not guilty. Judge Kenly set the date of his trial two weeks from date, denying Rigdon's plea for thirty days in which to prepare his case. i “Under ordinary circumstances I i would grant your request, Mr. Rig-1 don." the court assured the latter, “but j this is no ordinary case, nor does the defense of your client appear to me to present aspects necessitating that length of time to prepare. A citizen of this county is now reposing in the state penitentiary, partly upon the strength of testimony given by this defendant in his trial; and the indictment charges that this testimony was false in every particular and that the defendant knew it was false. “Had that testimony not been given at the trial of Robert Lee Mason, it is reasonable to presume that a doubt as to Mason's guilt might have arisen in the minds of the jury that ! convicted him. and that su it doubt ' migHt have reacted to the benefit of Mason. “in trying this case on the indictment returned against your client, this court is quite as much interested in proving your client's testimony to have been perjured as it is in determining the guilt or innocence of your client, for it is the opinion of the court that upon the outcome of this trial will depend to a very great extent Ate liberty and happiness of the man Mason. “The case presents no unusual or difficult angles. Two weeks is ample

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1927.

I time fur you to prepare an attack against the validity of this Indictment; j and consult with your client. What is , required in this particular case Is (Speed and for that reason, Mr. Rigdon, j I expect you to be speedy and pre'pared to go to trial two weeks front ' today. Motion denied.” ( i Rigdon then made a motion to have his client admitted to ball, and Judge Kenly set the bail at twenty-five thou-i sand dollars, cash, which was linnte-' .dlately furnished. Ten minutes later . | Jethroe walked out of the district attorney's office with his lawyer, a free ■ man for two weeks. Bentley walked into Jim Kirby's ioffice the moment Jethroe and his at.torney came out. "See here, Jim," he announced."! want o remind you that, man Jethroe ain't no mean opponent. | He's the sort of man who pits his I bankroll against the law and wins .oftener than plain men like us care to see happen. We’re goin' to give that’ skunk a fair trial, but let’s make' certain he gets it. “Os course it's up to me to dig up a jury and I’ll see to it the jury panel ] comes from a part of the county t where nobody ever beard of Henry Jethroe, the Hercules Hydraulic Min-, I ing Company, or Bob Mason. No’ (town juries or professional jurymen go. Understand? Some of them sell .out too,cheap. I “And. remember, we got Io put that hardware clerk. Edward Binney, under surveillance. Jethroe can fight the evidence in that record book the hardware people keep, even if we have tile book in our possession, provided he gets Binney out of the way. Jethroe will then swear his signature Is a forgery, and unless Binney is on hand to swear, regardless of the written j record, that Jethroe is the man he Isold that pistol to and that he knows I Jethroe well and has for years, we’re liable to git a hung jury. “This Binney is only a clerk and if Jethroe dangles ten thousand dollars under his nose and gives him a ticket to Europe, where are we at? That's the only chance to win Jethroe has, and he’s smart enough to know it. He can afford to pay the price and he'll do it. The job would be cheap for him at a hundred thousand.” "I’ll have a subpoena served on Binney immediately.” "That won’t keep Binney from changin’ his mind once he’s on the witness stand.

count for, haven't you, Jim?" “Well, then, let me have five hundred dollars'and I'll send a smart man down to San Francisco to look after Binney and see that nobody tampers with him." “Who'll you HOnd?” I Bentley amiled like a mischievous boy. “How would tliut ex-rauger. Garland, do?" he queried. | "The very man," Jim Kirby agreed, and handed over the money. I That night Garland went to San Francisco and served Edward Binney next day with a subpoena as a witI nesH. And when he had served him us his place of employment lie lingered long enough to acquaint the clerk with the most minute <letails of Bob Mason's case. Having, gs lie believed, enlisted Binney's sympathies and earnest cooperation, he next shifted the conversation to firearms. i He examined a number of shotguns, ' sporting rilles, and fishing tackle; he .expatiated upon the di lights of a | camping trip in the mountain fastnesses of Siskiyou, of deer and bear and fish, until Binney's fa e glowed as, in his mind's eye, he wandered through the wilderness with Anthony Garland. Presently Gar>nd suggested such a trip, with Binney as his guest. “Can’t very well get away,” Binney protested, "although I’m due for ai vacation.” “Whisper in the boss's ear,” Garland

I suggested. “You have an excellent excuse. You've been subpoenaed as a witness in this case, and ho will have to let you go in two weeks. Suggest to him that you have a fine opportun tty to Investigate some virgin hunting and ilsliing territory while you are away, and without cost to you. “Such Information as you will acquire on this trip Is always an asset to a firm that hamlies sporting-goods —and since you sell them you are the man who should be In position to supply the firm's customers with information touching on good places to hunt and fish. Customers are always asking at sporting goods stores for such inforjnation. uro they not?" "We maintain a bureau for dispensing that information," Binney admitted; and under the strong spell of temptation so skilfully woven by the qdroit Garland, he took the matter up with his employer at once, with the result that he went north to Siskiyou wl,h Garland that night. Responding to a telegram sent him that same afternoon, Sheriff Bentley met them at the train with two saddlehorses and a pair of pack-mules, laden with blankets, provisions, and other necessary equipment. “We have less than two weeks to I enjoy ourselves, Mr. Binney,” Gar-, land informed the delighted clerk, “so I wired ahead to have everything |re’’<'v. 1 hate delays.” That night, while an emissary of

' Henry Jethroe was questioning Binney's wife as to hi« wnereaoouts, Garland and his protege slept in the limber far down on the Klamath River, while Sheriff Bentley, as pleased as Punch, celebrated this master-stroke by taking his missus and the girls to a motion-picture show.
