THE TALE THAT ESPER TOLD. -fftHIS 1. excellent Jest, thl. mur f I - der," Esper began, and looked I down his nose, smiling. J, His tur upon the witness stand had arrived. Though the .Investigation had now been in progress three hours, and it Was nearly I o'clock, there was no abatement In the atten-, 1 tlon of the spectators; If anything, their Interest waa quickened as the end drew near.r After conclusion of 'my testl- mny there had been pause, during which time the great doors behind the platform were opened a little way to provide ventilation, chairs were shifted about, Gaspard's pen sharpened, and all " once more made ready. - It waa to be the final act of the drama played within the boathouse; all. felt that the climax had come and gathered themselves to meet it, But I I could have laughed, for I, knew what lies Esper would tell, and I held in reserve still another wit ness. The little fellow had mounted to the choir, smirked, laid hi. hat upon the board, tickled the side of his bent nose with his forefinger, and began his testimony with a characteristic preface. Jean for tha-first time left his position by the wall a. quietly moved to the edge of tb platform, Where he seated himself on the planking not three feet . from the witness" elbow. Esper eyed him furtively, eyed the handle of the revolver which peeped out from the young fisherman's coat at the belt line, while Jean for his part was seemingly engaged with other thoughts and sat a. ever with arms folded, gazing straight before him. -HA most excellent Jest," Esper re peated. .

These question, of criminal responsibili ty should be dismissed from a high plane. Passion, prejudice or public clam or should not influence us ln coming to a decision upon Its merits." When Professor Mills enunciated the principle that, while the right of liber ty for both sane and Insane should be carefully guarded, the right of the sane to protection from the Insane demands an equal amount of care, he touched th core of the problem revealed In Its im mensity by the crime and character of John Schrank.
