An Acquittal
and a Conviction
By WILLIAM CHANDLER
When my uncle Charles Dingley was
found dead one morning in his bed I
as his nearest male relative was at
once summoned I went to his room,
which had l>eou left untouched In ev
ery particular, and by the bed on
which the liody lay I found n bottle
about two inches high and one inch
squar-5, around the four sides of which
was lasted a lafiel with the usual
"Poison" warning printed on It.
There was nothing in my uncle's af
falrs 10 indicate that he had had auy
Intention of committing suicide. He j
had not been very well for a few days, I
but there was nothing serious the mat- !
ter with hiu>. lie might have been !
murdered and the bottle placed at his i
side to give the impression that be had !
taken poison. There were no marks j
1)11 the body to indicate that he had
been murdered.
The establishment of the facts In
the case did not appeal to me. My
uncle was dead, and whether he had
been murdered or murdered himself i
made little difference to me. To put
detectives on the case would cost mou
sy, but who would be the gainer? Tho
Authorities came to the house, made a
perfunctory examination of the body
and its surroundings and reported that
the deceased had come to his death by
means of poison administered by him
self.
1 weut through the house myself
looking for a clew. I had found a
tumbler on the table with the poison
and iu the kitchen pantry found a
dozen others of the same shape and
make
That fact indicated that the tumbler
had come from the pantry. Dishes
containing different kinds of food—
mostly left over—were in the closet,
one of them being a saucer of preserv
ed peaches It had apparently been
knocked over, and a little of the juice
had been spilled on the floor. It oc
curred to uie that whoever had taken
down the tumbler from the shelf had
done so in the dark and had put his
hand against the dish of peach pre
serves
If he had done this some of the
juice, if it had got on his fingers,
might have adhered to them. 1 found j
faint, cloudy smears on the tumbler |
and. putting the tip of my tongue on
them, thought I could detect saccharine
matter. Examining the label on the

I locked up tbe tumbler and ttie bot
le of poison, but had no desire to go
iuy further with my examinations. I
aw nothing to be gained by unearth
ng tiie mystery.
Fate decided, however, that it shonld
>e unraveled, or, rather, it should
ome out that there was no mystery
.t all. 1 was engaged to a girl who
lad discarded a former lover. Herman
Joodsell hated me and brought about
. suspicion that I had murdered my
incle. But this did not occur until
oy uncle bad been buried. The will
phen opened disclosed the fact that
ay uncle had left a lot of money and
very cent of it to me. Then our ene
ny began to get in Ills fine work,
rhlspering here and there, till the po
Ice felt obliged to take cognizance of
he reports and arrested me for mur
der.
Tbe first thing I did was to engage
n attorney and through him obtain
he exbumation of the body for the
urpose of having the finger prints
aken. This was done. Then I had
he tumbler that had stood by my un
le's bed examined with a microscope.
i faint yellow substance was found on
:, which contained a finger print. By
reating the label of the poison bottle
bemically a <ery clear finger print
ras obtained.
I had no idea bow tbe accusation
gainst me had started until my fiancee
aid me that she had probed the matter
nd traced a beginning to her former
jver. This put me on my mettle to
bwart him. and I named blm as one
f my witnesses to be subpoenaed for
jy trial. I gave my lawyer a list of
uestions to ask him, most of which
ad been furnished me by my sweet
eart When the case was called he
ras one of the first witnesses to take
tie stand, and my attorney soon show
J malevolence on his part In this:
'bat he had gone about spreading the
eports that I had murdered my uncle,
'his had nothing to do with the case,
ut was Intended for revenge.
When my real defense came up my
ttorney made short work of the mat
_>r. He had the tumbler and the label
f the poison bottle in court, copies of
lie finger prints on them and a finger
rint of my uncle's thumb and two
urefinger tips. They tallied exactly.
Goodsell was in court when I recelv
d my vindication. Dnder my instruc
lon he received a tongue lashing that
e was not likely to forget My advo
ate showed bow little evidence there
ad been against me, how It had been
forked up by Goodsell and his reasons
ur having started the suspicions
gainst me which had led to a needless
nd expensive trial. Goodsell cringed
nder it. Indeed, my acquittal was his
ouviction. When my counsel had
ceased speaking my nc'cussr lert tne
courtroom and has never shown his
face in the place since.
My uncle's bequest was a surprise to
me. for I supposed he had little or
nothing of value to leave and what he
lad would go to another branch of tha
amily."
FAMOUS OLD TROTTERS.
Many of Them Were Mere Drudges Be
fore They Attained Fame.
It is a remarkable fact that many of
the most famous horses of the trotting
turf years ago were not appreciated
until after they had arrived at ma
turity. With a great many the trot
ting quality was discovered by acci
dent.
It Is on record that Flora Temple
was once sold for $13. and the great
mare Princess, dam of Happy Medi
um, brought her breeder about $40.
Tacony pulled a stage and Mack like
wise. Abdullah would have been made
to haul a fish cart had not bis lofty
spirit rebeled at the indignity. Billy
Burton was used as a runner to force
the pace of Pernlto. Goldsmith Maid
was once sold for $100, and the dam
of Ethan Allen was sold at the age of
ten for $35.
Dutchman worked in a brick yard, so
did old Columbus, and Andrew Jack
son was foaled In one. Charley B. was
used lo haul stone up from a quarry
by derrick and pulley. Godolphin Ara
bian drew a watering cart in the
streets of Paris. Justin Morgan wa.
long a wheel horse In Vermont The
granddam of Monbars did farm drudg
ery. The dam of Billy Button hauled
garden truck to market and pulled a
milk wagon alternately. Gifford Mor
gan drew slabs from a sawmill and
was at one time sold for $100.
The dam of Flying Morgan was used
to peddle woodenware. The sire of
Rarus was worked to a butcher cart
and it is said that the dam of Black
Hawk also drew a butcher's cart The
first authentic account of Canadian
Pilot places him in the hand9 of a
Yankee peddler In New Orleans. The
dam of Lady Grlswold was used by a
patent medicine vender. The dam of
old Green Mountain Morgan ground
apples in a cider mill.—Horseman.
Compassionate.
Small Margie drew the picture of a
dog and cat on her slate, and. calling
her mother's attention to it, she said:
"Of course a cat ought to have four
legs, but I drew this one with six so It
could run away from the dog."

SCENE FROM "THE DANCER."
"In a Prohibition Town." It all hap
pened because a drutnmer won the at

Jake, the delivery fcoy, angered by the
drummer, marked the word "Whlaky"
on his sample case. This was enough.
Zeke took the case and started for the
constable. A tramp pursued, and many
complications followed.
One of the more Impressing figures
in a forthcoming special feature, "Da
mon and Pythias," is the scribe, enact
ed by J. L. Franck. Mr. Franck Is an
old man—frankly admits it—and Inci
dentally he is one of the pioneers In
the motion picture world of acting.
"Daddy," the name which he is known
by at the studios, is the personification
of cheerfulness. Though approaching
his eighties, he has the spirit of a boy
and finds keen Joy in the association of
his youthful companions around the

Bag punching by lovely athletic girls
