TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 193 4, | Judith Lane JEANNE BOWMAN enaprer 44 SURPRISE T WAS nearing tunch time. The juror with the walrys mustache chewed on a twirled end reflective iy. Ove of the others tapped at his pocket where the bulge of a tobacco can showed. Tue very saneness of her explana- tion seemed to reach the jury and Lampere realized it. He waited a moment, then said thoughtfully— “and of course a man with millions couldn't bire 2 cook to prepare sigmgullion?” “No,” retorted Judith yuickly, “it's like corned beef and cabbage, you 2ave to like it to cook it.” On the Rice roof, where she went with ber party for junch, Judith saw Mathile and Mrs. Bevins with Lampere. Again she was struck with the new beauty of tue girl. She bad dulfed her grieving manner and w's talking with animation. Jadich was mot recalled to the stand after the lurcheon hour. In- stead, Mathtle, again drooping with grief, took her place, was sworn, and eyes lowéred, bandkerchief ripped in apparently tense fingers, awaited Lampere’s questions. When they caa. they were voice] fn low, tender tones. “Miss pe able witaess told Lijour fether sed: to visit vants Were unable to prepare satis- a know this ts goingto be « y Palefal tb °you. but can you: throw: 9 /lttie tigit on this?

For tha. son we refused to give him tea, fee and if “Yes, Miss Bevins, go on.” “Alcohol in any form.” “And did he go to Miss Lane's penthouse for tea and coffee?” A low sob was the answer. “Come now and brace up, those cimes when he returned at three and four in the morning, was he completely under the influence of liquor?" A Sobs, unrestrained, muffled with lace-frothed handkerchief were the answer, heard helow Judge Mor- g80’s furious objection —“Misiead- ing, eating for the witness’s dedue- tion.” UDITH stared at Mathile Bevine ju horror. How dare she tatimate & thing tke that of Big Tom Bev: ins? Of her own part she thought nothing. “How dare she talk like that of him?” she Mes. Cunard pite ously. “He rarely ever took a drink of anything, unless it were part of a diner.” “She'll be paid for it,” Mrs. Cun- ard «4. with certainty. The rest of the afternoon was spent in placing engineers on the stam... enginee. —_.0 spoke In tech- nical terms of the tmpracticability of the Rio Diablo Dam as it was be ing constructed. The tast witness was a man wham Judith dimly remembered having seen somewhere. He told how, in her eagerness to gain more money, Mrs. Dale had spent ten thousand dollars sinking a well tn adr) spot where any geologist with @@ ounce of honesty in bis heart Would have sworn there was no oil. Ny ie! t! strikes of e@ the millionaire stenographer’s high-handed methods. “Gentiemen,” said Lampere to the jury, “I regret | have not one more witness to present to you, Norcan Dale, the busband of the yo woman there, the man who, if thing: were as worthy couns.! would ha us belfeve, would he at her side at « time like tote. 5 “Tue plaintif rests.” The thrust was a cruel one, Judit stiffened. if she had uot ab ready been numbed with pain, it might e burt more cruelly, but how f& seemed there wasn’t much else could matter. She bad lost, lost irrevocably. Morgan and Cunard rode home with Mrs. Cunard and Judith, laugh- ing and chatting. Judith thought thet heartless, and once with a Int. tle art, “How can you.” sbe broug their attention back to ber. “Well, you poor youngster,” sald the Judge kindly, “I'd plumb forgot you weren't accustomed to tne ways of the courts.” : “But we've lost,” wa‘led Judith. “Oh, my word,” gasped the Judge, “have you so little confidence in me? Don’t you worry a mite. We're going to win.” ... And with a rakish air which sat strangely on his dig- nity, “And how.” Judith slept because Delphy and rd joined forces and saw she found a queer sight, suspended from ber chandelier, a frock. As Clia would have said, such a dress must be a frock. Mrs. Cunard came in soon after. “Flags flying today, Judith,” she said, after Judith had thanked her. “We want you to look like your five million dollars, You mustn't look crushcd as Lampere would have you look. This is the beginning of your day.” Judith wondered {f it were when she reached the courtroom. She was glad of the frock; somehow It gave her the assurance of stil’ be- ing clean, fragrant and fresh, not the soiled person cf whom Lampere bad talked. UDGE MORGAN opened his ease by putting a trio of medical men on the stand, three psychiatrists who testified that Tom Bevins had come to them on-the day he drew up Lis new will, and asked ‘or a thorough test. “Why did he do this?” Morgan asked the'firat man, “He said be felt there would be | an attempt made to break his will, on th: ‘grounds of hig being of un sound mind, and wished to prevent that.” “A senile. psychosis,” whispered Lampere in a stage whisper. . “No indeed,” said the medical man, “he was ready with written proof to show us that his enemies were already at work. From the proof, Mr. Lampere,” continues. the doctor, “he was wise in his precau- tion. : judge you wish to go no fur ther into this proof?” “Of course,” interposed Judge Morgan, “if Mr. Lampere wants to cross examine my witness before I have finished.” “| b2g your pardon,” came in sur- ly tones. Th> other two went unchallenged, nor uld Lampere accept the privi- | lege ef cross-ezamination. This completed, to Judith’s amazement, Thomas Scoggins, sen- for. was Introduced and told the true story of the ofl well venture. Several dam workers appeared and sald, that aside from outside inter ference, there had deen no mutiny among the men and .hut Mrs. Dale had sor attempted to “boss” them, but had said trom the first she was marely acting as Big Tom Bevins’ — ry, carrying ou. his instrue- u Ma» Larson also testified, and one of the women, who told of Judith’s attempts to make life comfortable for che workers’ families. Judith was amazed, overwhelmed, as one after the other took the Stand. Their appearance came as a comp'ete surprise and her manner proved it. A “brace” of engineers testified to the saneness of the dam's pos!- tion and construction. “You don’t wish t cross exam ine?” inquired Morgan in mock sur- prise. “No,” laughed Lampere good-na- turedly, “they are too well coached.” “I challenge that statement.” barked Morgan, “I can prove i have not spoken to a single witness, nor bas anyone connected with this side addressed them, on the subject of the trial.” Lampere did not ask for proof. He Hetened to Clia’s spirited aceount of the “pent-house” with a crooked ‘smile on his face, then as the hands of the clock began pointing to the closing hour, chewed thoughtfully on th» end of pencil as though wh-* w. ‘ on on th. witness stand was of to value. “And .ow,” said Jiuuge Morgan, “as my last witness { call Norman Dale, husband of Judith D-le, former partner of the firm of Dale, Lam. ~ore and Morrison.” That clarion went through the -oo- Ike ap electric charge, Re portos sprang fror: their seats and dashed to their telephones.
