Edgar wore a dark suit with a black ﬁle and a black band r-und his aleevo. He looked well and his

not too solemn-u he the coroner's sym- pathetic references to his loss.

"The first question related Lo the wine he gave to his mother. Could he be quite sure it had not been tampered wit-h in any way?”

"Perfectly certain," Elgar re- plied. "The decanter being empty, I went down to the dining room, and took a frezn 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 up- stairs." Mr. Sturrock nodded.

"You gave nothing else to your mother. Mr. ‘rrelawney?’

"Nothing xvhntever. I did not go up again because l understood from G-arlmi.‘ that, my mother would be asleep- B0 1B1‘ ll I can gather, no one but Mlae Clar- land entered my mother's room that Tuesday evening, or gave her food or drink." There was a slight stir. in the quiet room. Mr. Stur- rock leaned forward.

The room became so silent that the chatter of two sparrows flﬁht- lng 1n the yard outside could be p'afn!y heard. Arkwright turned to Geraild Meakln, who sat beside hi

"Ira swine!" he whispered. “I believe he's trying to save his own dlrly skin."

"A legacy ed slowly. porlant?"

"I suggested two hundred pounds a year," Edzar answered.

"And was Miss Garland aware o! this lrernlest?"

"I believe that my mother told her of it." Again Mr. Sturrock took off 11's glasses and polished them.

"Irnnk you. Mr. Trelawne he said in a formal tone. ‘We w ll not trouble you further."

"Sturrock doesn't like him any better than we do." Gerald whis- pered back to Arkwright, but Ark- wright shook his head.

"This ls awful," he said. "I never heard of 1111a infernal legacy." He paused a moment. "I suppose 1t goes to the Jury now.”

"Wait!" said Gerald "There's an- other witness."

Sergeant Caunter was called. Ho was a big mnn of about forty, quiet, slowpseaklng. competent. l-le had lived and worked in Devon- shire all his life. His story began when ho had been called 111 on Tuesday morning. Vincent had fetched 111m and he had reached the house wlthln about an hour of Mrs. ‘Irelawneyk death.

"You made an investigation?" the Coroner asked.

"Dr. Arkwright gave me the de- tails, alr; then I questioned Miss Garland and Rose Weller. I asked specially about the table being up.
