GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER CXIII. He begged Emma to stay away. But she came. She came every day, arriving hours before the sessions /wpened, imagining she helped him when she sought his hand. Now, at a phrase from the prosecutor, she covered her face. Everyone- heard her soft, broken cry—heard it and shuddered. “Gentlemen of the jury, you have a very simple case to decide —a perfect case of circumstantial evidence. You have all stated under oath that you have no- prejudice against circumstantial evidence that you would bring a conviction on such evidence. "We ask you to remember this. "The defendant in this case is in good circumstances. He has had the benefit of an excellent education. These advantages aggravate rather than lessen his guilt. We exhort you not to be swayed by class sympathy. We ask you not to encourage crime among the young by permitting it to go unpunished. “In this State it is notorious that the well-to-do escape punishment for their crimes, while the unfortunate are severely handled. This condition is a burning shame to us. A murder is a murder, whether committed by a thug or a college graduate. "The mounting wave of crime among youth of the more fortunate classes puts upon you a mighty responsibility; demands That you give unflinching justice. We ask the same punishment for this defendant as that meted to an ignorant and unfortunate slayer—we ask the extreme penalty under the law. "The extreme penalty under the law. . . .” * • • Emma cried out. She buried her face against his arm, her hands reaching to his neck. She said; “No —No!” and made a tearing gesture. He lowered his head —tried to take her little, hard hands. But hiswere like pieces of iron. His jaws were stiff. ‘To refresh your memory, we will go over the main points brought out in the testimony-—” All that about his fingerprints found in Ramon’s office dozens of times - his handkerchief, blood soaked, found on the stairs: his fH.m s y alibi utterlv punctured by the facts ... even his mother stating .emphatically that, he was away from home all of Monday night—the night of the murder— Norman Wood sprang to his feet, challenging this. But the jury had heard. And Emma sank pitifully ... she seemed physically to grow thin and peaked under the scourging words. "Five people positively identify this defendant as the man who en tered Ramon Worth’s office on the night he died. Two of these identification admit off no doubting, even

Appetite

A tempting, delicious looking meal —all the choicest morsels from a well stocked pantry. The fragrant aroma of all these good things failing to put a keen edge on your appetite—failing to arouse, in any degree, a hardy relish for the food so attractively placed before you. Why? Scores of men and women are faced with the. same misfortune. After a day of toil —when they are tired—when good things to eat should be ravishly sought to rechaage their vitality and fit them .for play time —their stomachs turn. They are worn down, played out. Food has no appeal. To them it. is sickening. The aroma of appetising things nauseates them. Red blood cells are missing. Red blood which should be coursing through your veins strengthening your vitality adding to your strength—keeping you healthy and fit —is not to be found. S. S. S. is what is needed.

by the most skeptical. The witness, Avery Middleton, kneiv tho defendant extremely well during a period of seven years. He and his wife both saw this defendant lift a woman in his arms ~. the woman who crept along the floor of the deceased's office —the woman who was wounded ajid carried away and hidden by this defendant. “This defendant twice leaned over the prostrate form of Ramon Worth. The testimony irrefutably establishes this. lib leaned over him and then he switched out the lights. * * * “When Ramon Worth was next seen he was dead! He lay on tho floor in the very area w r here this defendant had knelt—he lay there with a bullet wound in his heart—a bullet sent at close range. "This bullet was sent while the defendant was in the room. It was positively not fired after 11 o’clock. And it was not sent before 10. It was fired between 10 and 11. This is the hour when the defendant entered Worth's office. "At 11 o'clock a man lay dead. At 11 o'clock the defendant had switched out the light—he had spirited a wounded woman from the room—“And he has sat through this trial offering no witnesses —making r.o denial. Why? To baffle you—to leave you with the remnant of doubt ■ that must vanish should he open 1 his lips. "Why has he remained silent? He j •has no defense! A deliberate mur- | der has been committed; a man is shot to death; A woman is wounded and hidden away. And the man positively known to have been at the scene of this appalling crime sits before you refusing to give one word of explanation. • * * "For all any one in this room j ' knows to the contrary, the woman j who was wounded may since have j died. And two murders should be laid at the door of this defendant. "The evidence shows that suicide was not committed. If the deceased shot herself, how - account for the bullet found in the wall behind him? “And the testimony shows that this defendant in a state of feverish excitement waited one hour and twenty minutes at the corner of Third and Market.... Was he wait- I ing for the woman? “He then rushed in an alarmed | way to the office directory. He asked ] nervously if the deceased had offices ! in the building. Witnesses have I shown this. “It was exactly a quarter of eleven j when this defendant was seen by the i janitress to shake the door of j Worth's office —ejjactly a quarter of j eleven when he entered the room, 1 exclaiming wildly; ‘My God!’ "And a few moments later this defendant was seen to kneel over an object prostrate on the floor—a few moments later he was seen to lift a j wounded woman in his arms—a | woman wounded in a scuffle —a woman who would be a material witness, but who has been spirited away or who has died of her wounds — “This defendant to cover a ruthless killing has sat obstinately silent; this defendant to cover a wanton murder has hidden or allowed to die a material witness —” * * "No.” Clear and bright and high, flying like a flute note down the aisle; "No!

But above all this: "No! Wait a moment —Oh, won't you. please!” And then a hoarse sob —a violent sob—Douglas rushed to the rail . . .
