and looked for the revolver, the only

there."
"Did you at any lime touch It, dis

Farnsworth, or to your knowledge
did any of the other servants send
It to hir?"
"No sir we did not We didn't
know where to reach her had we

"That will be all."

There was a commotion at the
door, then two deputies appeared,
a small man between them. He was
forced to bis place on the stand and
sworn In.
"Your name," snapped Kellogg.

of that smile sho found her whole
world righted. How handsome and
clean-cut he looked, how different
from Kob Crocker. No linos of self
ishness no but the Judge was ques
tioning him.
"yKS, 1 know Anne Farnsworth,"
he declared, and enumerated
the times he had met her prior to the
Igh on Clatso i ridge.
"Are you In a position to say
whether or not sho hns returned to
Portland since that time?"
' know she has not and can
cull any number of witnesses to
prove this.'
He then corroboiated Anne's testi
mony concerning hor reason for be

murder, concluding with an expla
, nation of her landing at the tar end
of town.
"1 knew Miss Farnsworth had
never been treated fairly bs the re
maining members of her family and
1 knew thnt should she be found
near the scene f the shuotlng, she
would be lnvolred. Therefore, 1 told
the Sorkl boys to take her some
where along the bfach and let hor
make ber way bark Into town from
there."
"Your honor, and gentlemen of
, the Jury." said Ansel Kellogg at the
conclusion of John's testimony, "I
have attempted to prove through
these witnesses that the gun which
fired the shot that killed Lee Farns

of the defendant.

"Is that man In this court room?"
asked Kellogg.

came faintly, "over there." Ho point

attorney's table. Seated there was
Rob Crocker and Tom Farley.
Anne sat frozen, Incredulous. In
tent upon her own Innocence, she
had only vaguely wondered who had
been guilty. Her illness, which had
cast an opaque screen over the
events uf that night, was partly re
sponsible for this. Now she stared
as Sampson pointed a grimy finger
at the two men.
'Slaud up pleiioe,'' ordered Kel
logg. Crocker stood up. thin lipped,
angry, defiant.
"That's him," the man declared.
'You're excused Sampson," said
Kellogg, "unless the district attor
ney wants you."
Anne glanced at the district attor
ney. Ho wore a battled look, and
shook his head, at which sfgn Samp
son acurrlod from the room.
"I will now call Charlie White
Deer."
The squat ilgure of a Chinook was
brought In. The man, visibly fright
eneu, shrank from the quick gaze
of eyes from every part of the court
room.
"White Deer." began Kollogg
kindly, "where were you on the
night of August 8rd?"
"At ... at bootleg fish trap."
"Were you alone?"
"Yes."
"Did you see the defendant; se
this young lady?" He pointed to
Anne. The answer was "yes."
"Did you see her fire a shot at Les
Farnsworth, the man who was
killed?"
Surprisingly, there was no objec
tion from the district attorney. H
was listening avidly.
"No." said the Indian emphat
ically. "Could you have seen ber do It?
1 mean where was your boat In rela
tion to hers?"

on astronomy wattd another 12
years before having It published, and
then died Just as the first copy was
delivered to him as he lay on his
deathbed.
He began the book In 1600, com
pleted It 23 years later, but delayed
having It published. An account of
the book was circulated to some ex
tent, and the new astronomical the
ories of Copernicus set out In the
book became more or leas widely
known. Pope Clement VII heard of
the theories, approved them, and
through Cardinal Schonberg, formally
demanded that the book be published
in 1534.
Copernicus, whose astronomical
work changed man's entire outlook
on the universe, was accomplished
In many other lines. He studied
mathematics and became skilled In
painting at the University of Cracow.
He tok his degree of Doctor of Com
