and I'm trying to get Into It again. I'd
like to take hold of this Meazber cage."
"1 in going to send a man up to at
tend to It."
The seedy individual pulled a letter
from hi pocket and banded It to the
detective to read. It was a certificate
from a detective firm that Joel ZWu
merman had worked for It and done
tood eervlce. .
Miller'a bargain with the mayor bad
beeu largely contingent upon tracking
and capturing the murderer, a not very
urotttable war to do business. .It oc
i-urred to him that if be could get
this person chean he would let hliu
work for awhile at least long enough
to make some development : Besides,
the man told blm that he suspected u
certain person and would .look for a
clew in that direction.' Be felt no ton
tldent In the matter that be offered to
work without pay unless be made- a
valuable discovery, but stipulated that
be should have the field to nlmaeil
No other detective should be put
the cane. On these terms Mr, Miller
engaged him aud went back' to the
?lty to attend to other ' matters that
promised more certain results.
Joe Avery, a nepbewof the murder
ed man. lived In Peteraville. a much re
spected young man. with a very nice
wife and two very pretty children ,
Oue day while walking on the treelt
he picked up a ten dollar bill. He was
Ip hard luck at the time and very
much delighted nt his find. The bill
was nnrtly spent for meat at a butcher
shop. The same afternoon Avery was
arrested for the murder of his uncle
on information furnished by Zlmtuer-
3 . .
man. The detective proaucea a inn or
bills, giving their numbers, that he
said he had found In nn unused chlm
oev in the murdered man's house. The
list was supposed to refer to $7.0(Xt
that the old niau kept there. The the
ory was that the money had been riv
en by the mur:epr- wno naa owlt-
tinelv left the list.
Everybody In the town wassurpnsea
at Avery's arrest, and no one at nrst
believed blm guilty. It was not sup
Dosed that his uncle bad any money.
and If be had the murderer was the
only one who could have known of It. !
There was a strong case of circum-
stancial evidence against Avery, but It
was weakened by Zimmerman himseir,
who under cross examination contra
dicted himself as to how. where and
when he had found the list Experts
disagreed whether It was or was not
in the handwriting of Meagher.. By
throwing doubt upon this evidence the
prisoner's attorney saved bis client
from a verdict of guilty. The Jury dta
agreed, but in order to avoid the ex
pense of another trial brought in a ver
dict of .not guilty.- , . , '
Avery - bad no- doubt that he bad
been made the victim of a plot and as
soon as he gained his liberty set about
a bit of detective work to discover the
author.- The first fact he noticed was
that with his acquittal the case was
dropped. The authorities believed that
the murderer had beeu discovered, put
that bis acaulttal waa a case of "not
proved" rather than "not guilty." The
detective who worked up the case
against blm bad dropped the matter
and was now working for the Miller
detective agency that bad employed
blm. indeed, every one seemed satis
fied to let the matter rest except, the
man who bad narrowly escaped the
gallows and was in onsequence living
under the ban of being a murderer
These were tbe reasons that Induced
Avery to take up the case on bis own
account
Avery made hp bis mind that his
uncle bad been a boarder. Indeed, be
remembered certain Incidents to ln-
Ainnta that such was the cuse. Some
oue had discovered that tbe old man
bad money In bis possession and bad
robbed and murdered blm to get pos
session of It. If bis uncle bad saved
monev possibly be might have had
anmrthlnar to do with some bank. He
sent out a circular letter to all the
banks in the state asking if Timothy
Meacher had any deposits there, bev
en savings banks replied that . bank
hnr.k to the aggregate amount or
S2G0.000 bad been iesaed to one Tim
othy J. Meagher. Avery did not surj-
nose that bis uncle baa a middle name
but searched tne ramuy recoras sno
found that he had. It was John.
" Aver was astouuded. lie was also
dellghted-dellgbted for two reasous.
