The stolen mail bag had been recovered t as well as the letters from which the money had been There were given I me for examination and I then returned I them to the prosecuting attorney I Having cot through my private about noon aud as the case would not come oS before the nest day I went into tbe court iu tbe afternoon to see what going The first case that came up was one of and the prisoner was a young girl than seventeen years ot age named Elizabeth Sbe was very pretty and bore thai mild and innocent look which we so seldom find ia a culprit She was pale and frightened and the moment my eye rested upon her I pitied her She been weeping profusely but as she found so eyes upon her ihc became too much frightened to weep more complaint against her set forth that she had stolen one hundred dollars from a 31 rs Xassbv and as the case went ou 1 found that thib Naseby a wealthy widow living iu the town was the girl's The poor sirl declared ber innocence iu he lunst wild terms but were Lard ber A hundred dollar in bank bad been her tress room and she was the only one who bad access there At this juncture the mistress was upon the witness man came aud caught luc by the arm He was a fine looking man aad tig tears stood ia loll me you are a I ain a I do save caa do it for she is your T Jio but 1 that's fur any that will do anything ivi her i I rc wards I can i wt roy es In- 1 arose and

and sal her licr to i the whole case told had lived with Mrs Naseby nearly 2 years and had never any trouble before About two weeks ago she said her mistress a hundred dollar She it from her the girl to me and sho DIP about it but I knew nothing about it The next I knew Nancy Luther told Mrs Naseby that she saw ire lake the from her she watched me through the key hole Then they want to my trunk and found twenty-five dollars of the missing there But sir I never somebody else must have put it there I asked her whether sho suspected any one I don't she said who could huve done it but Nancy She has never liked mo because she thought I was treated better than she was She id the cook I waa the chambermaid She pointed Nancy Luther out to She was a stout bold faced girl somewhere about Gve and twenty vears old with a low forehead small grey eyoB a pug nose and thick lips I caught her glance once it rested on the fair prisoner and the moment I detected the look of hatred which I read there I was convinced that she was the rogue that committed the theft Nancy Luther did you say that girl's name was I for a new light had broken in upon me Yes fir Is there any other girl of that name about here 1 No sir Then rest easy I will clear you if all goes right I left the court room and went to the attorney and asked him for the letters I had handed ones that had been stolen from the mail bag He pave them to me and bavins selected one I returned the and told him I would see that he had the one I kepi before night I then returned to the court room the case went on Mrs Naseby resumed her Sbe said she entrusted the room to the care and that no one else had access there save herself She described about missing the money and closed by idling how she found twenty-five dollars of it in the prisoner's trunk She could swear it was the identical money she had lost in two tens and one five dollar note Mrs said I when you first missed the money had you any reason to believe that the prisoner had taken it No sir Have you ever before detected ber in any sir Should vou have thought of searching her trunk had not Nancy advised and in- formed you No sir Mrs Naseby left the stand and Nancy took her place She came up with a bold look and upon me she cast such a glance as much as to say trap me if you can Nancy gave her evidence in effect as lows She said that on the night when the ney wag stolen she saw the prisoner going up stairs and from the sly manner in which she went up she suspected all was not right So she followed her up went into Mrs room and shut the door after her I stooped down and looked through the and saw her take out the money and put it in her pocket Then she stooped down and picked up the lamp and as I saw she was coming out T hurried away Then she went on and told how she informed her mistress of this and how she proposed to search the girl's trunk I called Mrs Naseby back to the stand You say that no one save yourself and the prisoner had access in your I said new Nancy Luther have en- tered the room if she wished Certainly sir I no one else had any right there I saw lhat Mrs though naturally a hard woman was moved by poor Could your cook have known by any means in knowledge where your sir far slie has up to my room when I was there and I bavc given her money with which to buy of market men who happen logo wilh ilie prisoner any money A dollar and three Have you taken up any of your pay gince you have thore I sir How much 1 don't know Kir Why don't you know T How should I I I've it at rent timus just I wanted it and have kept no account Now if you had any wish to harm tbe prisoner could you have raised dollars to put in her trunk had done no more On the next I a note very written in which 1 was that the within was only a token of the gratitude due mo fur my efforts in behalf of a poor maidon It was signed and contained one hundred dollars Shortly afterwards the youth who had fifbt begged me to take the upon me with all the money he could but showed him tlut I already paid and refused to take hard earnings Before I left town I was a guest at fair client being the happy bride Nancy Luther was tried convicted and sent to the penitentiary where is now undergoing the solitary punishment which Then you didn't have any twenty-five she hud intended fur fair client dollars when you there pities her No sir und what's more the j Thus by a mail robbery an innocent found in tbe girl's trunk was the very maiden was paved from the jaws of ruin for ey that Mrs Naseby lost You might have with the evidence so strong her the known that if you'd re member what jury could not give any other verdict than No sir nation she replied with virtuous you have not laid up any money since you have been there No sir what Mis now owes me you hear This was said very sarcastically and was intended as a crusher upon the idea that she put tbe money in the prisoner's trunk girl and bring the real criminal to justice I have always looked upon this occurrence as a special providence to save an innocent However I was not overcome entirely client charged with robbin tiie mail Will you tell me if you to this i was also acquitted notwithstanding the State I asked next I do sir In what town 1 She hesitated and for a moment the bold look forsook her But she finally answered be convicted and I would be unpaid I belong to Somers Montgomery ty I next turned to Mrs Naseby Do you ever take a receipt from your girls when you pay them you send and get one of them for me She has told the truth about my tled conviction in the of the
