AOSDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OR.KOON. TUESDAY, MAY 3, 19.10. Through By CLEVELAND MOFFETT Copyright, 1905, by Mil" exclaimed Ilnutcvllle. "It Is . .1.. flint 1-1111 tnrtlnnr" also the pistol that killed Martinez.1 "Now," contluued the Judge, "you pny you havo Jiorcr been In the tdlcy way that wo showed you fit the Anso Mia. Look nt these boots. Do you rec ognize them?" In opposition to tho ndvlco of Ills counsel Kittredge now admitted the ownership of the boots that had made the accusing footprints, but he denied to Uautevllle thnt ho had ever quar reled with Martinez. At this Ilnute Tllle produced the letter Klttredgo had written Mrs. Wlltuott regarding Marti nez. There was a quarrel, and you did threaten hlra?" "l ndviso my client not to nnswer that question," Interposed the lawyer, and the American was silent. "As you please." said Hnutevllle, and bo went on grimly: "Kittredge, you bnvo so far refused to speak of tho lady to whom you wrote this letter. , Bho was your mistress. Do you deny that?" ""Yes," cried tho American. "Ah!" shrugged tho Judge, and, turn ing to his secretary, "Ask the lady to come In." Then In a moment of sickening mis ery Kittredge saw the door open and a black figure enter with an ashen white face and frightened eyes. It was Tussy Wllmott treading the hard way of the transgressor, with her halr done most becomingly and breathing a delicate violet fragrance. Take" him Into the outer room." di rected tho Judge, "until I ring." little by little he dragged from her the story of her relations with Kit tredge. going back to their first ac quaintance. This was In New York about n year before. Mr. Wllmott bad not accompanied her on this trip, and. being much alone, as' most of her friends were In tho country, she had seen a good deal of M. Kittredge. Bho had met him through mutual friends, for ho wns well connected so cially In New York, and had soon grown fond of him. Before she real ized It be was seriously infatuated, and tho end of It was when she re turned to Paris bo followed her on another steamer, an extremely foolish proceeding, as It Involved bis giving up a fine position and getting into trouble with bis family. "Did ho ever give you presents?" "Yc-cs. He gave mo a gold bag that I happened to admire one day at Tif fany's." Pussy (lushed under the Judge's searching look. "I wouldn't havo accepted it but this happened lust as I was sailing for France. He cent it to tho steamer." "Ah! Have you any Idea how mncb M. Kittredge paid for that gold bag7 "Yes, for I asked at Tiffany's here, and they said tho bag cost about $400." Tho Judge said impressively, "Mad am, you may be surprised to hear that M. Klttredgo returned to France on the same, steamer that carried you "No. no," she declared. "I saw all tb s passengers, and he was not among them." "Ho was not among tho first cabin passengcra." "You mean to say he went in tho second cabin? I don't believe It" "No," answered Hnutevllle, with a trim smile, "be didn't go in tho second cabin; bo went In tho steerage!" "In tho steerage!" sho murmured, aghast "And during the flvo or six months here in Paris while he was dancing at tendance on you he was practically without resources." "I know better," sho Insisted. "He took me out all tho time and spent money freely." The Judge Bbook his head. "Ho Bpent on you what be got by pawning bis Jewelry, by gambling and some times by not eating. We have tho facts." "Mon DIcu!" sho shuddered. "And 1 never knew It! I never suspected It!" "This is to make quite clear that be loved you as very few women have been loved. Now I want to know why. you quarreled with him six months ago?" "I don't know. Really I don't know," she insisted, with a weary gesture. "Then I must do what I can to make you know." ho replied Impatiently, and, reaching forward, bo pressed the electric bell. "Bring back tho prisoner," ho or dered as tho guard appeared, and a moment later Klttredgo was again in bis place. "Now," began nautevllle, address ing both Lloyd and Mrs. Wllmott "I como to an important point I havo kero a packet of letters written by you, Kittredge, to this lady. You have already identified tho handwriting as your own, and you, madam, will not deny that these letters wero addressed to you. You admit that, do you not?" "Yes," answered Pussy weakly. Tho Judge turned over tho letters and selected one, from which ho read an admiring pussage. Ue took out his watch and laid It on the desk before him. "Madam, I will glvo you five minutes. Unless you ad mit within that timo what is perfectly evide.ut namely, that you wero fond j 9t this toon I shall continue the .read- the Wall D. Appleton & Co. ins of .these letters before your uus- band. "You're taking n cowardly advantage of n woman:' she burst out "No." answered Uautevllle sternly: "1 nui Investigating n cowardly mur der." lie glanced nt his wntch. "Four minutes!" Then to Kittredge. "And unless you admit this thing I shall summon tho girl from Notre Dame and let her say what she thinks of this correspond ence." Lloyd staggered under the blow. "Two minutes!" said Uautevllle cold ly. Then he turned to Mrs. Wllmott. "Your husband Is now at his club. One of our men Is Uiero also, awalt- ing my orders. He will get them by telephone and will bring your husband 1 here In a swift automobile. You havo 'one minute left." Now his Arm finger ! advanced toward the white button, ' Then sho yielded. "Stop!" came her low cry. "I did love him!" That is better," said tho Judge. And tho scratching of the groillcr's pen recorded unalterably Mrs. Wll mott's avowal. "I don't suppose you will contradict tho lady," said nautevllle, turning to Kittredge. "I take your silence as con sent and. after all, tho lady's confes sion is sufficient You wero in love with her. And the evidence shows that you committed, a crime based on pas sionate jealousy and hatred of a rival. We have the motive for the murder and the evidence that you committed tho murder. What have you to say for yourself?" "I threatened to punch his head. That is very different from killing him." "And the pistol? And tho foot prints?' "I don't know: I can't explain it, but I know I nm innocent You say I had a motive for this crime. You're mis taken! i bad no motive." "Didn't you follow her to Europe in the steerage because of your Infatua tion? Didn't you bear sufferings and privations To be near her? Shall I go over the details of what you did, aa I have them here, in order to refresh your memory?" "No," said Kittredge hoarsely, and his eyo was beginning to flame. "My memory needs no refreshing. I am fighting for my life, and now that she has admitted this thing," ho eyed the woman scornfully. "I nm freo to tell tho truth all of It" "That Is what wo want" said Haute ville. v "I thought I loved her with a fine, true love, but she showed me it was only a base imitation. I offered ber my life, my future, and she would have taken them and broken them and scattered them In my face and and laughed at me. I well, never mind, but you can bet all your pretty French philosophy I didn't go about Paris looking for billiard players to Vlll on her account" (To Be Continued.)
