There’s a certainquaver in the tone of a man ■nan who’s lying in court that the catches when the shrewdjudges, lawyers or jurors quite fail Ho catch it. F “When he’s got his head bent over his notebook he feels the jarring false note in the voice of the liar every time, no matter how plausible and convincing the testimony in itself may sound. So frequently have I tested this idea in the past fifteen years or so that I have come to accept It as certain when that almost indistinguishable false tremolo is absent from the tone of a witness’ voice that the witness is tell Ing the truth. “A few years ago I reported the trial of a young chap who was accused of having sand clubbed a jeweler in his store and of looting the establishment The young fellow was good looking, Intelligent with a face as frank as an eight day clock and an easy, candid, winning manner. “I looked the young chap over before the trial began, and I decided that the accusation against him was outrageous. When the witnesses testified that they’d seen him coming out of the store I strained my ears to catch the false Intonation in their tones, but it wasn’t there.

“When the defense opened the young ipan was permitted tO’go on the stand in his own behalf. I was astonished to find that his voice had the lying quaver in it right from the beginning of his statement. “His words vastly impressed the jury and as vastly chagrined the prosecution. He undertook to prove an alibi for himself. “In corroboration of this a married sister testified that her brother had been at her apartment from 3 o’clock in the afternoon until 10 d'clock at night, taking dinner with her and keeping her company in the absence of her husband. Well, she was lying too. She had that telltale false ring in her voice that convinced me of it despite her fine, frank face and her obvious respectability. “The court adjourned for luncheon at the end of her* testimony. I took luncheon with the attorney for the prosecution. “'Well, what do you think of this case? he asked me when we sat down. ‘I guess we don’t land him, eh?’ “ ‘He’s guilty,’ I replied briefly. ‘He was lying, and so was his Sister.’ “The attorney for the prosecution looked me over out of the slits of his eyes, but I didn’t say any more. “When the court reconvened he asked for an adjournment until next day, and the judge granted it. “On the following morning he had in court the janitor of the apartment house in which the prisoner’s sister lived. The janitor testified that the prisoner’s sister had not been in her flat from noon until late at night on the day of the sand clubbing. “While the janitor was on the stand a detective walked Into the courtroom with the loot from the jewelry shop. He had found it in a satchel in the prisoner’s sister’s apartment that morning. “That settled the case L os course. The prisoner’s sister broke down and confessed that she had been endeavoring to shield her brother.’’—St Louis GlobeDemocrat Attacked By a Mob and beaten in a labor riot, untill covered with sores, a Chicago street car conductor applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and was soon sound and well. t‘T use it in my family,” writes G.
