Woman in Love (Continued jrom page 34) spray of fine blood drops. Across the farther door, across the walls on both sides this evidence had flown in a fine spray. Where had the murderer been standing when that first wild shower of drops had flashed evenly from Florice Fanette's head to those walls? "He must have been standing somewhere, ladies and gentlemen. If a man killed her, some of that blood struck him. And where he stood the wall must be clean. Where is that clear space at all? That, simply, is my point. And I say that until it can be settled we may run the danger of condemning an innocent man. "We don't deny this man and his wife quarreled. We don't deny that he had accused his wife of having too much to drink, and that she cried in anger at his reproach. That is admitted. We do assert that after the quarrel the friends who were spending the night in the room next to the Mallorys, Mr. and Mrs. Burnett, old friends from Hollywood, left the Mallorys. That before they went to their own room, and adjoining room, Florice said to Helen Burnett, When you two have finished with the bathroom let me know. I feel woozy. I'll take a hot bath.' "Then you heard Helen Burnett testify that while she was brushing her teeth she heard heavy breathing from the adjoining room and called in to her husband, 'Could Mayne be asleep already? It sounds as if someone was sawing wood in there!' "Helen Burnett finishes her ablutions and calls in to Florice, 'All clear, Florry!' and she goes out of the bathroom and hears Florice fussing around in there. Florice turns the key in the lock and calls through the door, 'Nighty-night, Gus and Helen! Lord, I do feel queer!' "Not long afterward — Helen Burnett says perhaps fifteen minutes and perhaps half an hour afterward — she hears a bump and a splash and then hears Florice chuckling. Or, she says, it might have been someone laughing in the hall. We know now it was the breathing of a dying woman, but she didn't know that. . . ." THE voice went on, on. George was 1 not weary. Tamara, her whole soul and being and consciousness concentrated through the eyes that watched him so fixedly, knew that he believed what he was saying. And when the judge's turn came to speak, she thought that he believed it, too. The jury, duly instructed, filed away, and again the court emptied and Tarn and George went home to the new little apartment, to look at the papers and rest and await results. The summer afternoon was cold and windy, with grit blowing in the gray unfriendly streets. They went out for dinner, glancing at every newspaper headline they passed; no more news of the Mallory case. At nine George went out to see his client. "No news until tomorrow," he said when he returned. Tamara was conscious of wishing herself in the middle of next year. After two days of suspense, the jury was unable to agree, and was dismissed.
