The outbreak of the young man was extremely sensational, and in view of the conten- tion of the District-Attorney that in a fit of jealous anger Disbrow strangled “ Dimple” Lawrence to death it was significant. The striking feature of the attempted assault was the disposition of the prisoner to get at Mr. Smith's throat. Strikingly and eloquently Mr. Smith reviewed his evidence. Step by step he traced the movements of the trio on the fatal night. As point after point was made clear the face | of the accused young man became livid. The light of fear was in his eyes. 0 Suddenly Mr. Smith turned to the prisoner. Stretching -his arm across the table he} “When you said you left Miss Lawrence at the Ternell House you lied. You lied, and) you know you lied.” Disbrow was out of his chair with a bound. With outstretched arms and straining |” fingers he made a spring for the throat of the District-Attorney.

Lawyer Miles was so quick in getting to Disbrow and pulling him back that the young man had no chance | to get at Mr, Smith. who stood his ground with a smile of triumph on his face. “Don’t attempt to get at me,” he said, “don’t lay your hands on me. man in your position.” Weak and trembling Disbrow allowed himself to be forced to his chair, and Mr. Smith went on with his presentment of the evidence.
