I How I Achieved Success 1
(Orlgln*l 1
How dk) 1. so young a man, acquire
no large a criminal practice? Just as
I was ready to beglu to practice my
profession 1 read the biographies of
many men iu America who had early
achieved eminence. From their exam
ple I deduced a principle, "Duriug the
early years of one's career let blni do
len times the work expected of him.'
If Francis Atwater had not gone to
sleep on the train that was taking htm
to his home in the suburbs and not
gone on to Itoyalton Instead of getting
oul at Mfllburn he would not have
been convicted of the murder of Fair
fax Douglas. And quite likely I
should have missed an opportunity to
make a name as a criminal lawyer.
But Atwater did go to sleep on the
train and did wake up anil get out
three stations above his owu.
"Hello, Atwater!" said his old friend
1 louglas as they met on the platform.
"What are you doing up here-/"
Atwater told him of his snooze, and
as there was no train down for au hour
Douglas pressed him to go home ami
dine with him. Atwater accepted, and
tlie two men went home together.
Douglas lived with his mother, who
was away at the time, and there was
no one with him except the servants.
The two men dined together, and after |
dinner Atwater kept putting "It his
departure from train to train till at
last he consented to remain all night.
At V.* o'clock host and guest went up
stairs <?> theiJ bedrooms, .lust before
gettitii; into bed Atwater went to |
iHutglas' room to tell him that lie
must take au early train in the morn I
lng and could not remain for break
fast. Douglas was putting his watch
under his pillow, and Atwater saw, as ]
the pillow was lifted, a revolver.
"For burglars?" asked Atwater, look
lug at the weapon.
"No."
Atwater appeared curious, and Doug
las added that there was a story cou
uected with his keeping a pistol uude!
his head at night and that he always j
carried one about him during the day.
Atwater pressed him to tell him why
he did this, but Douglas seemed trou
bled at the mention of the matter, ex
cusing himself from giving the story
'Atwater forbore to press him further |
and went to his own room.
Atwater awoke In the morning,
dressed ajd went to his friend's room j
to say good by. A fearful sight greet
ed him. Douglas was lying dead, his |
head hanging off the bed so as to ex
pose the throat, which was a dark pur
ple. indicating strangulation. Atwa
ter's tlrst impulse was to arouse the |
house, but his second was to allow
some one else to dlsis>ver the murder.
He knew that the man caught with a |
murdered person was liable to suspi
cion. and no one can tell where such
suspicion will lead, lie would depart
as he had Intended, saying nothing
about having seen his friend. He left
the room, turned to j;o down the main
staircase and. descending, went out of
the front door. He was all of a trem
ble when he got on the train, but went]
to the city, attended to his duties
usual and was going home, expecting I
to see Douglas' death in the evening I
paper, w hen be was stopped at the i
door of his ortice by a policeman, who
arrested him on a charge of murder.
A maid had gone up the back staircase
as Atwater had emerged from the
chamber ->f death and had seen him
leave the room.
1 was retained to ilerenu Atwater i
iiinl sol 'lie story I law told from!
Iiiui. Inn 1 t'oiiM not toll sni li a story |

other man. That other man was at the
time of Douglas' death In Kurope.
When he returned 1 asked him ques

proved to be Tom Keenati and had
some teu years liefore been sent to
state prison by Judge Dudley, his con
viction having lieen secured by Prose
cuting Attorney Fairfax Douglas. He
had sworn to kill both the judge and
the attorney. After Douglas' death I
knew he would try to kill the judge as
soon as ^e returned from abroad, and
I surmised he would take the same
method he had taken with Atwater. I
secured the Judge's consent that I
should receive the attack. If I had
