was the guilty person in the matter of
the mysterious crimes and a solution
f the mystery would be given in the
next issue Sunday morning.
f How Harrison Barker proved to be
insane, his Insanity appearing only in
Ills insomnia; how he was sent to an
asylum, so far as this story Is concern
ed, is unimportant but there Is one
feature of the case that gives a remark
able ending. Several years before a
young man named Gawtry had been
tried and convicted of committing these
'Tery crimes. lie was torn from a
young wife and babe and sent to prison i
for a term of fifteen years. When Har
rison Barker came Into court I was
there. ,, A man standing by me said to
another, "He's the image of Oawtry.
who was convicted of the same crime."
In a twinkling it flashed through my
Drain where, I Jbad seen or thought I
liaa seen Barker. I had reported (Inw
try's trial and had confused 'the two
men. m Had not; Barker committed the
crimes for which Gawtiy was Eijffer-
' The first thing I did In the matter
was to communicate with' Gsvtrv's
wife to tell her that there was a strung
probability ; of proving, ber Inland's
innocence, newa, which b$ conveveJ
