Afterward I consented to give my
evidence. I Informed the court of the
womau's visit to tne. of her request for
n poison that would leave no trace and
the use she proposed tu make of It.
Then I told thou) that I had given her
the pill. At this point a technical ob
jection was interposed by the defend
ant's counsel, and the judge sustained
him. I was forblddeu to tell what was
lu the pill, the reason being that it had
not been proved that the pill had been
used. This left uje lu a very uufortu
nate position.
After a long trial the woman was ac
quitted of the charge of murder, and
the charge of fraud was never pressed.
The prosecution had failed to prove
she knew that the man who was burled
was her husband's brother or that she
had polsoued him. Her counsel con
trived to throw all the blame on her
husband, who had disappeared.
After her acquittal the woman came
to see me. She was curious to know if
I had been deceived by her story about
the bet and If I had really given her a
traceless pill. Before replying I asked
her to explain the case to me, and, aft
er a solemn promise on my part to
keep her secret, she did so.
Iler husband's life was largely In
sured, and since they were an 111 mated
couple she resolved to poison him.
Just as she was about to give him the
pill I had furnished her her husband's
brother came to the house for a visit.
His health had been broken down by
excesses, especially drugs that he had
taken in large quantities. While at
their house he suddenly died, probably
of heart failure. The woman proposed
to her husband that he disappear and
his brother, who resembled him close
ly, be burled in his stead. This was
done.
I told her she would lind an explana
tion of my part lu the matter In the 1
paper the next morning.
My explanation recited my experi
ences as to a traceless poison and my
desire to make a test case. The whole
tilled two columns, at the end of which
I gave the coutents of the pill I had
given the woman.
It was mode of bread.
HAROLD OTIS.
| The Cowardly Guard \
[Original.]
When I was in Colorado away back
In the sixties I one morning left Den
ver for the south. It was the day of
road agents, and 1 confess I felt some
what nervous. I was told by the Wells
Fargo people that the coach would be
guarded by one of their men, Dick
Steele, whom they considered worth
half a dozen ordinary men. This sat
isfied me, for from the time I entered
the state I had heard of the brave
deeds of this same Dick Steele.
When we were about to start and
Steele was pointed out to me I was
surprised. He was a little fellow about
five feet five Inches, and I couldn't
see how he could terrify even a single
robber, and there were often several In
the parties who robbed coaches. How
ever, he had an eye which, like his
name, was steel, and a cold looking
steel at that, and I put hlin down for
one of those men In whom nerve takes
the place of muscle.
I made the trip out and back with
Steele, and there was no occasion for
the Wells-Fargo man to show his met
tle. When I left Denver for Cheyenne
to take the Union Pacific railroad for
the east Steele was again the guard.
This time when we were midway on
our Journey we heard the cry ahead,
"Hold up your hands!" and the conch
enme to a stop. A man came and stood
on one sldo of the coach, holding us all
covered with a brace of revolvers,
while two others on the other side
opeued the stage door, threw down the
steps aud called to us to alight. Steele
was in the middle seat and next person
to the open door. We all expected him
to suddenly bristle with weapons and
kill the two men before they knew
what hurt them. Instead of that he
tumbled out with his hands In the air
as nimbly as a young fawn.
Seeing that we had no protection
from this vaunted hero, we nil got out
and stood In line while the rond agents
relieved us of everything about us of
nuy value. Evidently they had never
seen Steele before, for they treated
him Just like the rest of us. I thought
perhaps he might stoop and pull a pair
of revolvers from his boots; but, al
though he had no especial watching,
he did not make the slightest move
ment. When the robbers were through
with us they ordered us back into the
coach aud told the driver to move on.
As soon as we were free from tbo
robbers there was a great outburst
against Steele. "You're a pretty guard!"
"Where did you get your reputation
for bravery?" "The biggest coward in
the coach!" These were some of the
protests that were hurled against the
man of much reputation. Hi3 conduct
in bearlug them convinced every one
that he was not only not brave, but
unusually cowardly. He did not resent
a single one of these insulting re
proaches. Indeed, he did not seem to
hear them, keeping his eye out the
window looking at the ground we
passed over nnd watching for some
thing.
Presently the road made a turn, and
the coach passed around It and behind
a clump of trees. Steele flung open the
coach door, jumped out, unstrapped n
Winchester from under the boot and
started back, stooping among some
bushes so as not to be seen.
I am not a brave man, but I am a
very curious one. Seized with a desire
to see the rest of the story for my
self, I alighted and went after tho
guard. We had gone about half a
mile from the spot where we had been
robbed, and a ihird of this distance
was a depression in the ground. Tak
ing position in this depression, I could
see all I wanted to see. 1 saw Steele
dodging along a short distance ahead
of me, and about the same distance
beyond him were the robbers dividing
the swag they had taken from us.
Then from out a clump of sagebrush I
saw a puff of smoke, heard the crack
of Steele's Winchester, and a robber
fell. Beforo I could have counted five
there were another puff and crack, and
another robber fell. The third man
had only time to look wildly about
him when he. too. went down.
Then Steele advanced cautiously. As
he approached one of the robbers rais
ed himself on his elbow and was about
to tire at Steele when the guard drop
ped him, this time for good. Steele
went to the place where the bodies
lay, gathered up their spoil, turned
and came slowly back. When he came
up to me I remarked to hint that he
had been wry lucky to And the rob
bers engaged, and he replied that they
usually divided the plunder at once, bo
that each man could shift for himself
without losing his share.
I went back with tho little man to
the coach, which was standing where
we had left It, and Steele asked each
person to pick out his belongings,
which he was not slow In doing.
Then followed an apology from every
one who had rated the guard for his
cowardice. Some of those who had
been most abusive looked a bit terror
stricken, thinking that they might be
called to account. But Steele paid no
more attention to the apologies than
he had paid to the ubuse, merely re
marking that a man who blustered up
against another man's gun when the
i muzzle was toward him was a fool.
