THE WOjlDEI$ OF ^lEfldE
Overland
Monthly,
At the time of which I am writing J
w;ls living in aecluaioit in a small town
stxiut 85 miles north of London. I was
engaged in rather a large literary un
dertaking-in **>*. 1 was writing a
novel. B" engrossed was I with my
task that I had no time to read even
the newspaptr and was quite ignorant
of wiiat was going on in the world. It
was a little after 8 o’clock one evening
in April that I finished the second vcl-
nine . t my work. I put on my hat and
coat and started off for an evening
stroll. 1 hud no sooner stepped into the
street than a boy uccosted me with a
bundle of papers under his arm and the
request, “Buy an evening paper, sir?”
1 bought one, put it in my pocket and
resumed my wulk.
After my return I openeel my paper
leisurely — nay, lazily. Presently my
eye was caught with the following par
agraph heading, “Impending Execution
of the Clinfold Murderer.”
Tlitre is a morbid fascination for
most pecplo in an execution, and so,
yielding to this feeling, I proceeded to
read the paragraph:
“The murderer of the unfortunate
James Renfrew will be hanged tomor
row morning at 8 o’clock. The wretched
man, whose name — Charles Fenthurst
— is now in everybody's mouth, still
persists in his plea of innocence.”
Here I became deeply interested. The
name of Fenthurst was most familiar to
me. I had formed a deep friendship
with a man of that name. He was a
good 15 years my senior and had died
about two years previ >usly. I knew he
had a sou named Charles, a young fel
low who bad emigrated to South Africa
early in life and who was generally
supposed to be working at the diamond
mines. Could this be the same man? I
read on.
“It will be remembered that at the
trial the strongest circumstantial evi
dence was brought to bear upc’i Fent
hurst. The murder took plaxe iu a house
on the outskirts of the small town of
Clinfold. It was proved that Fenthurst
was in the habit of frequenting Ren
frew's premises and that apparently ho
was expected there on the evening in
question. He was seen near the place
scon after the crime was committed,
and several other proofs of a strongly
condemnatory character were nlso'laid
against him. He has persisted from the
first, however, in maintaining that ho
wu al ■ nt from Clinfold at the very
time the murder took place. This was
about 7 o'clock in the evening. At that
hour, he says, he was returning from
London, where he had been spending
part of the day. Only one witness, he
says, could prove this, and that is an
individual who traveled with him as
far us P----- and entered into conversa
tion with him. Advertisements have
been inserted in all the papers by Feut-
hurst's legal advisers for the purpose of
discovering the individual in question,
but as no answer has been forthcoming
it is generally believed that the whole
story is a myth. At any rate, there
seems hut small chance of the alibi be
ing proved at the last moment. The
muxdcr was committed on Feb. 6. Sinco
his condemnation the murderer has been
confined in Silkminster jail, where the
execution will take place.”
Astonishment and dismay confronted
me as 1 laid the paper down. I was the
missing witness they bad so vainly
sought. I distinctly remembered, early
in February, running up to town rather
late in the afttrnoon, spending just half
an hour the re, and returning by the first
train I could catch. My landlady didn’t
eten know but that I had been for rat her
a longer wr.lk than usual. I had entered
into conversation on the return journey
with the only other occupant of my
oon partuient, a young man with a-small
black bag, on which were painted the
letters “C. F. ” I remembered all this
distinctly. In order to make sure I
snatched up my diary and quickly
turned to the da’.o of the murder, Feb.
6- There was the entry: "Ran upto

was just 11 o’clock. Hurriedly I drugged
ou niy boots, thinking the white what I
should do. My first impulse was to rush
to the telegraph office. Then, with dis
may, I remembered that it was shut for

postmaster took the 8:30 train to the
large town of F------ , about fivo miles
