Memories of the old days in the west when cattle rustlers ran at large were brought back to the Provincial Police detachment in Timmins early yesterday morning. A worker at Feldâ€" man‘s Mill reported that a heifer had been killed and slaughtered at the edge of the bush on a farm on the power line near Feldman‘s Mill. The recruit leaving here last week for Toronto was John Langton, of Man Steals Heifer and Slaughters it Yesterday Police investigated and found the heifer was a year old and had been a pet. It belonged to Dave Craig, of Schumacher, and somebody had lured it to the edge of the pasture and had slaughtered it there. The best of the meat was taken away and the reâ€" mainder was left on the spot. Police are still investigating but as yet have not picked up any suspects. Samuel Bilsky, Brother Mrs. A. J.

JARIDINEâ€"A new nelghbour of UNANIMOUS VERDICT _ â€" "It was a light white wine of which she was fond," said ‘Peggy in answer to another question. â€" "There was a deâ€" cantor in Mrs. Trelawney‘s room.. But this was empty so Mr. Trelawney took the decanter down and refilled it. He came back quickly, poured out a glass and gave it to His mother." Mr. Sturâ€" rock took off his glasses, polished them with a silk handkerchief, then continuâ€" ed his questions. § “A!bout half past ten. I went into her room last thing before I went to bed and found her sleeping. T did not sit up with her because Dr. Arkwright had told me that there was no need to do so." "We come to the next morningâ€" yesterday morning." Peggy told how Rose had called her, how frightened the girl was and of the state in which she had found her employer. She related how she had used the amyl .without result and of sending the.car for Dr. Arkwright. The answers told how the decanter was broken when the bedside table was upset, along with every‘thing on the table, including the bottle of luminol. ‘"Most unfortunate," said Mr. Sturâ€" rock.. "Will you now tell me at what hour on that night you last saw Mrs. Trelawney?" "One more question, Miss Garland," said the Coroner. *"You are definitely certain you gave the correct aose?" "I am certain," Peggy said firmily. Arkwright sighed with relief as Peggy finished her evidence. He could sense the favourable impression she had produced. . He hopad devoutly nothing would ogcur to upset it. (Now Rose Weller was called and what she said confirmed Peggy‘s story in every detail. Her evidence took only a few minutes, then Charles Perkins waAS summoned. Arkwright, who, of course, knew Perkins. well, was shocked at his apâ€" pearance. Perkins was always delicate, but now he looked really ill. The unâ€" fortunate man was trembling from head to foot. Facing a crowd like this was too much for him. "You must speak up, please, Mr. Perkins," said the Coroner kindly, after his first answer. "IL have only a very few questions to ask you." He had no difficulty in reading the prescription, and he made it up accordâ€" ing to directions. On the last point he answered confidently. Again the audience ‘craned their necks as Edgar Trelawney came in. Most of them knew him by sight; all knew him by repute. Edgar wore a dark suit with a black tie and a black band round his sleeve. He looked well and his expression was well controlledâ€"grave but not too solemnâ€"as he acknowledged the Corâ€" oner‘s sympathetic references to his Perkins s bony ‘hands were clutching the back of the chair behind which he stood, as he stammered out his eviâ€" dence. "The first question related to the wine he gave his mother. Could he be quite sure it had not been tamperâ€" ed with in any way?" _ "Perfectly certain," Edgar replied. "The decanter being empty, I went down to the dining room, and took a fresh bottle from the cellaret. Martin, our butler, was in the room and he pulled the cork for me and poured the wine into the decanter. I took it straight upstairg." (Mr. Sturrock noddâ€" "You gave nothing eIS2 tTO YOur mother, Mr. Trelawney?" ‘"Nothing whatever. I did not go up again because I understood from Miss Garlanda that my amother would be asleep.

He paused moment "I suppose it goes to the jury now." _ : "It was at the back of a small drawer in a bureau. ‘The bureau is one of those oldâ€"fashioned pieces made of teak. The front lets down to form a writing table and there are three small on either side. ‘This bottle was pushed in at the back of one of the drawers and was wrapped in a piece of ~\newspaper. It was only by chance I found it." "I believe that my mother told her ot it."> Again Mr. Sturrock <took off his glasses and polished Them. "‘Thank you, Mr. Trelaw..~â€"â€"," he said in a formal tone. "We will not trouble you further." °_ °_ _ ‘ "You madse an investigation?" the Coroner asked. _""A legacy," the. Coroner repeated slowly. ‘"Was the amount important?" T suggested two hundred pounds a year," Edgar answered. Sergeant Caunter was called. He was a big man of about forty, quiet, slowâ€"speaking, competent. He had livâ€" ed and worked in Devonshire all his life. His story began when ge had been called in on Tuesday morning. Vincent had fetched him and he had reached the house within about an hour of Mrs. Trelawney‘s death. who sat beside him. j ‘‘The swine!" he whispernd "I beâ€" lieve he‘s trying to save his own dirty "Wait!" said Gerald.~ "Thers‘s anâ€" other witness." ‘The room became so silent that the chg,tter of two sparrows fighting in the yard outside could be plainly hefu_‘d'. . "Sturrock doesn‘t like him any better than we do," Gerald whispered back to Arkwright but Arkwright shook his "Dr. Arkwright gave me the details, sir: then I questioned Miss Garland and Rose Weller. I asked specially about the table being upset. That, it seems, was done by Mr. Trelawney, who knocked against it accidentally. I asked for the pieces of broken glass, but they had‘ been already cleared away and thrown into dustbin. I went to the dusthbhin, but could recover noâ€" thing of any value for the purpose of this investigation.‘" He paused. “Most ur{fortunate,” murmured Mr. Sturrock. "Have you anything else to tell us, Sergeant?" "Yes, sir. _I searched the house .to make sure there was no other supply of the drug or poison which killed Mrs. Trelawney. In the guest, room near the head of the stairs I found this." He help up a small bottle half full of a brownish liquid. "And what are the contents?" the Coroner asked. Again the room was tensely silent. All eyes were on the big policeman. "I had the contents analysed, sir, by Mr. Dobell, the chemist at Taverton. It is a preparation of opium well known to the police, and commonly called knockâ€"out drops." The only person who did:â€" not seem to be specially thrilled was Mr. Sturrock. He turned to Gerald Meakin. "Mr. Meakin, I should like your opinion as to whether a dose from this bottle could have been taken by Mrs. Trelawneyâ€"whether or not it would have been detected by your examinaâ€" tion." Gerald Meakin stood up. He spoke slowly and thoughtfully, "A very few drops on top of the luminol would have proved fatal to a person in Mrs. Trelawney‘s condition, yet I think that even a small dose would have been detected by my analyâ€" sis. In any case, Ssir, it ssems to me that any person using such an obvious poison would hardly been foolish CHAPTER XV THE VERDICT "KEnockâ€"out drops!" This was real melodrama. Arkwright could feel the tingle of excitement all through the enough to leave the bottle about." The Coroner nodded. ‘"That is a point, Mr. Meakin," He turned to the Sergeant. *"There was no label or mark on the bottle?" "‘None, sir. Nor any date on the piece of newspaper. But the paper is not discoloured. It looks fresh." Coroner asked. "A Mr. Chesham who came down from London about three weeks ago with Mr. Trelawney but was, I underâ€" stand, recalled to London the same day that he arrived." Arkwright glancing at Peggy, noticed how tense she had become. And the look in ker eyes. Was it anger orâ€"was it fear? But Mr. Sturrock was asking Edgar about Chesham and, when Edgar got up, there was no doubt in Arkwright‘s mind that he was desperately nervous. ‘"This Mr. Chesham was a friend of yours, Mr. Trelawney?" the Coroner asked. Edgar pulled himself together "I knew him fairly well, sir, but h* was not an intimate friend. He had been unwell and needed a change. ‘That is why I asked him down. That same evening he had a telephons mesâ€" sage to say that his brother was seriâ€" qusly ill. Go he left by the late train was Miss Garland aware of turned to Gerald Meakin, used the room?" the ‘"Mrs. Trelawney told me some da.ys ago ~of her intention to leave mme an anntuiity of £200 a year, and.

"In aam case I have been getting a salary of five pounds a week and a very comâ€" fortable home. Tâ€"seems, then, hardly likely that I should murder my emâ€" ployer, for the sake of less money and no home." from Taverton.", Again Arkwricht looked at Pregey Ql‘ now there was colour in her The colour of anger. She was bidring with indignation, yet trying to Testrain her feelings. Arkwright {at profoundâ€" ly uncomfortable. He oould make Loâ€" thing of it Edgar sat down and Mr. Btm‘roek_ recalled Peéeggy. "Miss Garland, you ham made no mention of this legacy. â€" Were you aware of it?" â€"His tone was than usual, but Peggy did not raise her voice as she replied. A gasp of surprise arose at the bold-? ness of her words. "Bravo Peggy!" said Meakm ha,lf‘ aloud. "Mo one has accused you of any- thing Miss Garland," said the Cm’oner curtly. SE ‘"I beg your pardon, sir, Mr. 'I‘rela,w- ney has at least suggested it. " scorn with which she spoke stung Edgar. He jumped up. "All I said was that I thought Miss Garland had made a mistake in pourâ€" ing out the medicine. â€" I never menâ€" tioned murder." . ‘‘Calm yourself Mr. Trelawney," said the Coroner. "I am aware that you did not use the word ‘murder‘." He looked towards the jury. "We Rave had all the evidence availâ€", able. iAfter what Mr. Gerald Meakin, has told us I do not think that there 45 any need to adjourn the inquest for. the sake of inquiring into the origin of; the bottle discovered by Sergeant Caunter. Is there any question that any of you would like to ask?"â€" A juryâ€" man stood up.â€" He was Samuel French, father of the new baby which Arkâ€" wright had helped into the world. "The only new thing is that bottle of knockâ€"out drops," he whispered back. "I‘m fairly sure they belonged to Chesham. There was something. fishy about that fellow. Did you see how scared Edgar Trelawney was when Chesham‘s name came up?" "He did seem nervous . . . hulloa!lâ€" here they are back again. They didn‘t take long." "What do you think, Dr. Ark- wright?" the Coroner asked. ; "Possible," said Arkwright, slowiy,, "but, extremely improbable." "I agree," said the Coroner. "An the same, an intelligent question, Mr. French. The pity is that the medisina bottle was broken. It is that accident which has made the whole inqury so difficult." He waited a moment, then, as no other juryman spoke, sent them off to consider their verdict. Gerald Meakin leaned across to Arkwright. _ "Do ‘ee think, zur, as Mrs. Trelawâ€" ney could have took another dose Of the medicine, her own self. They du. say the bottle was by her bed." . â€" . . "We‘re just as wise started, John," he mur wright shrugged. The jury came in, and Cowle, the foreman, who was‘ the Nethercombe grocer and a churchwarden, gave the verdict. | "We find that Mrs. Trelawney died of an overdose of luminol, but how or by whom administered, there is not sufficient evidence to show. That‘s unanimous, sir," he added. "And I think the only possible verâ€" dict under the circumstances," said the Coroner, "though naturally unsatisfacâ€" tory to all concerned. Whether anyâ€" thing further is done in the matter remains with the police. I thank, you, gentlemen," he said, ~and got up. 4 Arkwright made for the door. He waited to catch Peggy. But he got wedged in the crowd. ‘I‘wo men in front of him were talking. "Her never did it!" said one. a lady, her be!" "Baint so sure," replied the other. "Iwo hundred pounds a year‘s a mint o‘ money. More so whenee don‘t have to work for un." A Arkwright felt a spasm of anger. He was driven to realize that opinion wras: divided as to Peggy‘s gullt or innoâ€". cence. It made him the more anxiousi ‘to find her andteuhermtwum his mind. But when he got ontside he could ms nothing of Peggy. He went to the house, saw Rose, andad:edhertonnq "Miss Peggy said she was very sorry, but she could not see you now." â€" Arke "All right, Rose," he answered. ‘"Tell her I will call this evening after I‘ve finizshed my rounds." He paused, and noticed Rose‘s troubled face. â€" "Don‘t Peggy She came back presently to say that Miss Peggy was with the elder Mr. Meakin in the Hbrary, and that they were talking business." noticed Rose‘s troubled face. â€" "Don‘t i‘ M be upset, Rose," he said, kindly.
