AWitness for the Defence. IN rinse CHAPTERS.â€"CHAPTER I. It had been raining steadily all day. It was still raining as I stood at the corner of a great London thoroughfare on that wretch‘ ed November ni ht. The gutter babbled, the pavement g istened, humanity was ob- literated by silk and alpaca ; but the night- wind was cool and fresh to me. after a day spent in a hot police court, hmvy with the steam of indigo-dyed constables. of damp criminals, and their frowsy friends and foes. I was later than usual. [hat was why I stood hesiiating, and turning over and over the few eh: I ngs in my pocket, painfu 1y gathered by a. long day‘s labor as a young and struggling legal practictioner. 1 thought of my poor little sick wife, waiting so longingly for me in the dull lodgings miles away. I also considered the difiiculty of earning two shillings, and the speed with which that sum disappeared when invested in cats. I thought of the slowness and un- certainty oi the ‘bus, crowded inside and out ; again of the anxious eyes watching the clock ; and my mind was made up. 1 call- ed a hansom from the rank just opposite to me, and jumped in, after giving my di- rections to so much or the driver as I could make out between his hat and his collar. We careered up one dreary lane and down atother, until, having just turned to the left into a. rather wider thoroughfare, we were once more brought up. This time it was a. heavy dray discharging goods at the back entrance of a warehouse. It was drawn up carelessly, occupying, in fact, more room than it should in that ill-lighted place. We were glmost into it before we could pull up. To avoid accident, the cab- man threw his horse half way across the road ; and in this position prtceeded gently but firmly to expostulate with the drayman after the manner of cabmen on such occas- ions. The surly fellow would take no no- tice, and made no attempt for some min- utes to give us room. I was too listless to interfere, and lay back in the cab, leaving the driver to get over the difficulty as he might. “All right," I replied. then." Down slammed the trap; the cab was turned and manoeuvred out of the press ; and I soon found myself traversing a maze of those unknown by-ways, lined with frowsy lodging-houses and the dead walls of factor- ies and warehouses, which hem in our main thoroughfares. I was broad awake now, excited by the news of the accident, specu. lating (11 its causes, and thinking of the scenes of agcny and sorrow to which it had given rise, and of my own fortunate escape. The lzansoni I was in was an unusually well- apponted .one for those days. It was clean and well cushioned; it had a. mat on the floor inste.d of mouldy straw. Against one side was a metal match holder, with a roughened surface; hearing, as the occasion- al street lamps showed me, the words “Please slrikea. light. Do not injure the cab." On mach side of the door was a. small mirrcr, plated so as to face the driver; so that I could see reflected therein, through the windows, those parts of the street which the 01b had just passed. "P’liceman says: sir,” explained calby, "as there’s bin a gas main hexploded and blowed up the street, and nothin' can't get this wav. There's bin 3 many pussons hin- Jured, air. I’ll have to go round the back streets.” In the right-hand glass, owing to our slanting position across the road, I could see reflected, a few yards off, the corner of the street out of which we had just turned with the lamp which stood there, and above the lamp the name of the street. which. though reversewise on the mirror, I made Out 1.0 be “Hauraki Street.” The queer name attracted me ; and I was won- dering what colonial experience could have led the builder to select it, when I saw the reflected figure of a man ccme into the light of the lamp along the road in which We stood. He was young,_ but dishevelled and dirty, and evidently wet through. His clothes, bad as their condition was. looked somehow as if their wearer had been, or oughtto be, ins. better condition of body than his present one. He stared dcsolately about him for a while, as if to see whether there could be any other creature so miserable as to be lounging purposelessly about, without an umbrslta, in such a place on such a. night. A neighboring clock struck eight, and he seemed to turn his head and listen till the clangour ceased. Then be inspected the sleeves of his cost, as people ahvays do when unduly damp, and drew cne ot them across his torehead, taking off his hat for the purpose, as though hot from exercise. Then he carefully produced from inside the sodden and melancholy hat a folded piece of paper and a. clay pipe. He filled the pipe from the paper, restored the latter to the hat, and put the hat on his head. Then he looked helplessly at the pipe. I guessed that the poor wretch had neither a match nor a penny to buy one. A thought seemed to strike him. He looked up suddenly at the lamp, and I saw his face for the first time. I am an observer of faces. This one was peculiarly short and broad, with a. pro~ jecting, sharp-pointed chin, a. long slit of a mouth, turned down at the corners ; as it was now half open in perplexity, it disclosed a. conspicuous blank, caused by the loss of one or more front teeth. The eyes were small and dark, and half shut with a curi- ous prying air. This was all I noticed ; for now the man began awkwardly and labori- ously to "s warm" the lamp-post ; evidently with a view 0! getting alight for his pipe. Having got about half-way up to the top, he incsutiously stopped to rest, and instantly slid to the bottom. Patiently he began all over again;a.ud I now saw that “he was not altogether tipsv, he was something very like Ifelt tired, hungry, and depressed, so that I was glad to drop 03' to sleep, and for- get weariness and worry for a little while ; and I remained unconscious of had pave- ment and rattling rain, blurred glass and misty lights. until the st ppoge 0! the cab roused me. Thinking that I had arrived at my journey‘s end, and wondering why the glass was not raised, I smote lusrily on the roof with my umbrella. But the voice of the driver came down to me through the trap in a confidential wheeze ; and at the same timeI saw that there was a great crowd ahead, and heard that there were shouts and confusion, and that my cab was one ofa mass of vehicles all wedged to. gather by some impassable obstacle. . . in. This tiule his efforts were so ill jfidged that he caved in the melancholy but against the crass-bar of the lamp ; and the last I of him as my picture vanished at the whisk. lng round of the handsom, he was blindly HG ahead, waving his pipe at the lamp glass, his head buried in the wreck of his hat. as he vainly endowourad to introduce the pipe through the opemng underneath, and beginning one more to slide impotently down the shaft. I got home without further adventure in time not to be missed by my little invalid ; but for several days the queer street-name abode with me, as the merest trifles will haunt an over-anxious mindl such as mine then was. I repeated it to myz-eli hun. dreds of times; I made it into a sort ofidiot- ic refrain or chorus, with which I kept time to my own footsteps on my daily tramps. I tried to make rhymes to it, with indifferent success; Incl altogether it was some weeks before the tiresome phantom finelly departed. ‘ u ,u ,ud.‘ LL_ Also, I often wondered whether the drenched young man with the crushed hat had managed to get a light after all. Twelve years had goneI and with them my troublesâ€"such troubles at least as had been with me at the time of the beginning of this story. I was now a prosperous so- licitor, with a huge and varied practice, and with a comfortable home on the northern heights of London. wherein to cherish the dear wife, no longer s’ck. who had been my loving companion through the years of scarcity. The firm's practice was a varied one ; but pertonally I devoted myself to that branch of it in which I had begun my professional lifeâ€"the criminal law. In this I had fairly won myself a name both as an advocate and a lawyerâ€"often very different thingsâ€"vshich tended to make me a richer man every day. And I am glad to be able to say that I had added to this reputation another yet more valuableâ€"that of being an honourable and honest man. Late one afternoon, as I sat in my oflice after a. long day at the Central Criminal Court, making preparaticns for my home- wardlflight, a. stranger was shown in to me. He sat down and began his story, to which I at first listened with professional attention and indifference. But I soon became atrifle more interested ; for this, as it seemed, was a. tale of long-deferred vengeance falling af- ter the lapse of years upon the right head ; such as we lawyers meet with more often in sensational novelsâ€"of which we are par- ticularly fondâ€"than in the course of prac- tice. Some dozen years ago, he said, there had lived in a remote suburb of London an elder- lv maiden lady, named Miss Harden. the only daughter of a retired merchant skipper, who had got together a very tolerable sum of money for a man of his class. Dying, he had left it all to his only living relative and friend, his daughter; and on the interest thereof she managed to live comfortably. and even to save quite a third of her income. These moneys sheâ€"being, like many maiden ladies, of a suspicious natureâ€"always de- clined to invest in any way, but kept them in an Oaken cu board in her sitting-room, which cupboard she was accustomed to glorify for its impreguable nature, when the danger she ran by keeping so much money about the house was represented to her. Perhaps she was fortified in her obsti~ nacy by the consideration that she was not entirely alone and unprotected, though most people thought that such protection as she had was worse than none. It consisted in the presence of au orphaned nephew. to whose mother, on her deathbed, Miss Har- den had solemnly promised that she would never forsake the child. She had been as good as her word, and betterâ€"or wurse ; for she had treated the boy with such foolish indulgence that he had grown up as pretty a specimen of the blackguard as could be found in the neighborhood. After being expelled from school. he had never attempt- ed to improve himselfor earn his own living in any way, except by betting (and losing). and by making free With certain cash of his first and only employer ; wnich questionable attempt at providing for himself would cer- tninly have led to his bein some time pro- vided for by his country, that for the tears and prayers of his aunt, and the sacrifice of a round sum of her hoarding. From that time he lived with her, and she cherished and endured him as only women can. Sgold‘ug him when he came home tipsy at night, putting him carefully to bed and for- giving him the next morning, only to scold and put him to bed again the same evening; so With little difference, went on their lives for years. But at last this loving patience began to wear out, and as the aunt got older and more irritable, the nephew’s little ways caused louder and more frequent disagree- ments. One morning things came to a cli- max. She caught him actually trying to set free the imprisoned secrets of the impreg- nable cupboard with a pocket-knife. Being interrupted and violently abusedâ€"the old lady was very ready with her tongueâ€"he turned round and struck her. She did then and there what she had threatened often of late; ordered him out of the house, and what was more, saw him out. There was rather a scene at the street-dcor, and the lockers-on heard him say, in answer to her vows that she would never see him again, “When you do see me again, you'll be s:rry enough ;” or words to that effect. The last time he was known to be in the neighborhood was about three o’clock that afternoon, in a public-house close by, which he used to haunt. He was then in a mand- lin state, and was descanting to a. mixed audience on his wrongs and on the meanness of his relative. He further produced the knife with which he had attempted the cupboard, and was foolish enough to say that “he wished he had tried it on the old woman herself, and he would too, before the day_was_out.” _ All this greatly amused his rough hearers, who supplied him well with liquor, and generally kept the game alive, until the landlord, becoming jealous of the reputa- tion of his hou e, turned him out of doors. From that moment he dis-ppeared ; but the same night a horrille murder was commit- ted. The aunt had sent her one servant out fcr half an hour. The girl left at a quarter to eight, and returned at a quarter past, to find the poor old maid lying dead on the floor, while the oak cupboard was open and empty. Screaming with honor, the girl called in help; and one among the crowd that filled the house before the police came picked up (11 the floor a knife, which he identified as the very one which the nephew, whom he knew Well, had exhibited that afternoon at the public-house. He re- pcalcl this evidence at the subsequent in- quest, audit was confirmed by many others who knew both the knife and its owner. A verdict of wilful murder was returned against the nephew, whom we will call John Harden, but who had disappeared completely and entirely. Inquiries, adver- tisements, and the minute description of a heavy government reward for hxs appre- hension, throughout the three kingdomsâ€" all were useless. In the course of time the afl'air died out, except as an occasional re- membrance in the minds of those who had been most intimately connected with it. hi_m was posted, together with the ofl’cr of But on the afternoon of the very day on which the stranger waited upon me. John Harden had been recognized in the Strand by my informant. He wore a well-fitting suit of dark clothes, and was, in fact, the confidential servant of a retired Australian millionaire, who had come to England to spend the rest of his days there. On being addressed by his name, he at first appeareu surprised, though in no way alarmed ; but a1m0st immediately admitted that he had formerly gone by that name, though he had for years borne another. His accuser straightway gave him into the custody of the nearest constable, charging him with the murder. Then indeed the unfortunate man showed the greatest horror and dis- turbance of mind, protesting that he did not even know his aunt was dead ; that he had intended to go and see her as soon as he could be relieved from attendance on his master; that he had even written to her several times, but having received no reply, had concluded that she was determined to renounce him entirely. He was locked up at the station for the night, and was to be brought befr re the magistrate in the morn- ing ;and my informant's object in coming to me was to instruct me to prosecute, not be- ing content to leave that duty to the police. He was, it seemed, the very man who had, as already stated, picked up the knife with which the murder was committed ; and he expressed himself as being extremely anxi- ous that justice should be done, and that the murderer should not escape. He stated that. though badly enough off twelve years ago, he had since succeeded in trade ; that he knew the poor old lady well, having done many an odd job about the house for her; and that he was willing, for justice’ sake, to put his hand as reasonably far into his pocket as could be expected. As he sat opposite to me, his face burning with indig- nation, I could not help thinking that it would be well {or the country and lawyers if all citizens were as prompt as my new client to spend their means in exposing and punishing crime in which they had no indi- vidual interest. I said something to this effect, and my remarks were received with a proper pride, tempered by modesty. “He hoped he knowed his dooty as a man, and tried to do it.” It so happened that I was obliged to leave town next day, to attend to certain matters connected with an estate for which I waltrus- tee, in another part of the country. I told him this. adding that the magistrate would certainly send the case for trial, and that I should be back in town in time for the next Old Bailey sessions, and I would be respon- sible that the case should receive proper at- tention in the meantime. He merely said that he left the matter in my hands, and that if I said it would be all, right, he was content, and so departed, engaging to at- tend to have his evrdence taken down the next morning. I went to the office of a brother practitioner on whom I knew I could rely, ,handed him my written in- structions, requested him to take up the case and work it until my return, and then did what every business man should be able to doâ€"wiped the subject altogether out of my mind for the present.

Ambrose of 88 East Third street, New York. called for her sister, Mrs. Mary W'olfe, at 212 East Twentyvsixth street, at 2% o’clock, on a recent afternoon, and the two went out shopping. They spent an hour in the store, and then walked home- wsrd with packages in their arms. They went up to Sixth avenue, and through Twenty-sixth street to Third avonue. They crossed Third avenue, and had just stepped upon the sidewalk at the southeast corner when awild-looking man sprang at Miss Ambrose from behind and stabbed her twice, on the left side of the head and in the neck. “John 1" she exclaimed, as she staggered against a lamp post, and a; the same mo- ment Mrs. Wolfe exclaimed, "My hus- bund 1” As Mrs. Wolfe spoke the man seized her and stabbed her in the left temple. Mrs. \Volfe broke away from him and ran into Michael Sweeny’s liquor store on the corner. Blood epurted from her wound over the flags and against the shop window. She entered the saloon by the front door and sat down upen a beer keg opposite the bar and midway between the front door and the side entrance on Twenty-sixth street. The saloon keeper was behind the bar, and Patrick McDonough, a customer, ie an- ed against it. They had heard the screams in the street, and as the woman staggered in, McDonough ran to the front door to see if any one was pursuing her. As he teach- ed the door he saw the wild-looking man with a. knife in his hand about coming in. McDonough slammed the door and turned the key in the lock. The man was not to be kept out, however. He ran around to the Twenty-sixth street entrance. The figured plate glass door there was closed. The man struck it and shoved it with his shoulder. He stood in the doorway for a moment, glaring around, and then saw the woman cowering on the barrel. He rushed at her, seized her by the shoulder, and threw her violently to the floor. She did not cry out, and he did not say a word. Kneeling on one knee, he stab- bed her three times, striking hard each time. Then he straightened up, glared me- nancingly at Sweeney, who still stood be- hind the bar, and then deliberately plunged the knife three times into his own abdomen, and without‘a cry fell across the woman’s body, dropping the knife by her side. Miss Ambrose had looked into the saloon and run out again just after the man had rushed in. She now came in with Police- man Murray. Mrs. Wolfe was dead. Her light-colored hsir and her close-fitting black sun; were wet with blood. as was the parcel she still held. ‘Tnat man.” said Miss Ambrose, “is my sister’s husband. His name is John Carpen- ter. He has just come from prison' where he was sent in 1878 for stabbing a woman whom he mistook for my sister in St. Fran- cis Xavier's Church.” Two ambulances and the dead wsagon were called. The body of Mrs. Wolfe was taken to the Morgue. Carpenter and Miss Am- brose were taken to Bullevue Hospital. Mri. \Volfe was a. handsome woman. She was 33 years of age.
