I that It caa be under- i>?>d ts to tell the
?i.fy frvui the beginning
Twelve years a^o 1 came to Mortford,
a j uatijj uiaa of tweuty d*e, to look f<<r
a Job. I bad no (owb, ami not get

That same day walking about

"What's your name?" I asked.

We eouidu't trace auy relationship,
but he asked me luto a beer aaloou.

Bow what he ejjwted to gain by the

later. My la. 1 lady uu seeing me
marched away by a policeman under
a charge of i ..ssii.g counterfeit money
took the I i * I had given her to her
bauk. where th y were pronounced
apurk'us. When I was brought up for
examination both she ai d the drug
gist appeared a.iinst me. 1 told a
straight story, but without effect
Counterfeit bills had bee i shoved into
circulation. and the police had been
looking for the shover. I was heKl
for trial aud spent six weeks In JalL
Then 1 was tried. As there was no
evidence connectisg ate with a gan<
of counterfeiters. I was acquitted and
reieAsed
But ? no thought absorbed me? to get

to meet hici till I was so weak from
hanger thrt 1 couldn't walk any
longer. then gave It up. But all the
while 1 wr* thinking of a plan for
feveuge. At last I concocted out* that
might catch the c>muterfelter and pua
bh him f r something more than
breaking tb- government money laws.
I went to 4 tv?K;d In the outskirts of
the town a I to a tree pinned a piece
of paper ob which 1 had written in a
nvmbiii!^ !i ud that ! was about to be
murdered by a man who had forced
me to pa<s counterfeit money, 1 hav
ing threat; d to put the police on to
him and h:s gatis I described the
man who h id given me the spurious
bills. In doing so of course I de
scribed my own personal appearance,
but I dM" t care for that, for 1 pro
posed to < .sappear from the place and
ptaj d. Having taken this the
only niett us I could think of to gain
mv w.-nje, I converted m j self into a
tramp and did not atop moving until
1 had gone some 1.200 miles from the
tow* where I had had so much trou
ble At the end of my tramp 1 found
a man who gave roe a Job, and 1 re
joiced that at last t had reached a
haves of rvct
One morning I took np a newspaper
and read the account of my own mur
j tier Cvery iff . rt had Usm made to
and both toy body . dead or alive, and
my murderer. The police had sent oat
thousand* o f circulars giviug the de
scription o f hiiu that 1 had written,
and It had Iteoo copied U> many uows
papers.
I uotk-ed cue day on looking up sud
ileu I. v at my employer that be was
scrutinizing uw. It had occurred to
me before this that my giving a de
scription of mj murderer that would
answer as welk for we as for him
Sdght lead to serious complications.
Indeed, after seeing the desertion of
the supposed murderer in the tiewst?a
per I had become very anxious. The
result was that ?heu I saw my em
ployer looking at mo as If comparing
me with the description 1 turned pale.
He looked away. and that ended the
matter, at least for the time.
Several days later a man came into
the store v\ here i w orfced. hail some
words with my employer aud then, ad
vancing lownnl u?e? ev?l uie sharply;
then he took a printed slip from his
pocket ami referred to it. evidently j
comparing me wi'h It. At last he took I
out a pair of handcuffs, put them on j
tny wrists and led me out of the ;
store it didu't occur to me to pn
test or to a?k any nuostims. I knew ,
I was to lie taki-u back to the scone of
my former troubles to answer to the |
charge of having murdered myself.
It didn't appear to me then that 1
should have any trouble In identifying ;
tuyself. I resolved to say that i had j
succeeded in gettiug away from the '
man who had intended to tuurder me
aud had left that part of the country
altogether. It didn't occur to me that
such a story tn the face of a charge
of murder would appear pretty thin.
The first realisation of uyr danger that
came to me was iu talking with the
ol*.. sal who was '>aklug me back to
Mertford. 1 told him the story just :
as I have thus far told it here. And
what was his commeut? It was this:
"Young man. If you cant make up
a better yaru thau that you'd better
bo prepared for the worst."
i'hi>. startled me. 1 had deemed It
a tuUfortuue to be taken back to
Mertford ou a case of mistaken Iden
tity and to be put to the trouble of an
explanation. but that I would be liable
to conviction for murdering my own
self had apivarvd so moustrous that It
had not ev en entered uiy head.
"If you can't prove an alibi," added
W> keeper, "you're gone."
"What's au alibi?" 1 asked
"Being somewhere else at the time
ttk> murder was committed."
"Hut 1 shall prove that I am the
rnau I am accused of murdering."
He turned and regarded me with a
cynical smile.
"See here." he said, "I've been mixed
up with eases like yours for twenty
years. Juries are ready to believe a
lot uf rut from a prisoner with whom
they sympathise, but my advice to
you Is uot to endeavor to work off ou
them any such rubbish as that."
This fTlghteued me. I leaned back
ou the cushion of the seat as well as
my handcuffs would permit and gave
myself over to the most gloomy re
flections.
When we reached Mertford and I
had been examined, not having any
meaus with which to employ counsel.
I was assigned one. He came to the
Jail and heard my explanation. When
It was finished he said that he would
aot think of conducting a case on any
such Improbable lino as that and if 1
insisted ou his doing so I must find
iDither defeuder.
What was I to do? All these people
who were used to such eases agreed
that 1 must uot claim that 1 was my
self. 1 asked my lawyer whom he
thought I'd better claim to be. He
said that It didn't make any difference
what uty uarne was. Criminals usual
ly had plenty of uames and used such
as were convenient under differeut cir
cumstances. The only point In my fa
vor, he added, was that the body ot
the mau 1 had murdered had not been
found He would make as much of
this as possible and expected that he
would be would tv able to get me off
with a sentence of life Imprisonment
instead of death.
He seemed to consider this quite a
comforting assurance. For myself I
thought that even imprisonment for
life tn the case of one who had com
mitted murder ou himself or suicide,
if It can be so construed. Is rather
hard lines. However. 1 told my law
yer that 1 wouldn't venture to suggest
a line of defeuse to one who knew the
law perfectly, and he might consider
me either dead or alive. Innocent or a
murderer, as he saw tit. To this he re
plied that there had undoubtedly been
cases where a lawyer knew his client
to be inuocent. but the evidence had
been so strong against him that he has
advised hiui to plead guilty and throw
himself on the mercy of the court.
I won't go into the details of the
trial. My lawyer was congratulating
himself that he would get me off with
a life sentence when the police, who
had long suffered before the public
for what was considered their negli
gence In the case of my murder, by
continued digging Its the wood where
I had been murdered unearthed a
body. 1 learned long afterward that
it came from a corner of an old burial
lot But It was enough, with all the
other convincing evidence against me.
to bang me.
The only bit of good luck I have had
it all has been the capture of the gang
of counterfeiters to which my double
belonged. I begged my counsel so hard
to Qnd him that to humor me he did
so. The result was the bringing into
v. >urt the real murderer of the mac
-? ho was not murdered. Which of us
vould have had to swing for the mur
ier If the other one had been absent
1 dont know. I am going out a free
man. and 1 propose to disdgure myself
so that I will nev?r tg&in look like
. anybody.
