And
thereafter
the
best
that
Belknap
and
Jephson
could
do
was
to
appear
before
Oberwaltzer
,
a
Democrat
,
who
owed
his
appointment
to
a
previous
governor
,
to
argue
for
a
change
of
venue
,
on
the
ground
that
by
no
possible
stretch
of
the
imagination
could
any
twelve
men
residing
in
Cataraqui
County
be
found
who
,
owing
to
the
public
and
private
statements
of
Mason
,
were
not
already
vitally
opposed
to
Clyde
and
so
convinced
of
his
guilt
that
before
ever
such
a
jury
could
be
addressed
by
a
defense
,
he
would
be
convicted
.
"
But
where
are
you
going
then
?
"
inquired
Justice
Oberwaltzer
,
who
was
impartial
enough
.
"
The
same
material
has
been
published
everywhere
.
"
"
But
,
your
Honor
,
this
crime
which
the
district
attorney
here
has
been
so
busy
in
magnifying
--
"
(
a
long
and
heated
objection
on
the
part
of
Mason
)
.
"
But
we
contend
just
the
same
,
"
continued
Belknap
,
"
that
the
public
has
been
unduly
stirred
and
deluded
.
You
ca
n't
get
twelve
men
now
who
will
try
this
man
fairly
.
"
"
What
nonsense
!
"
exclaimed
Mason
,
angrily
.
"
Mere
twaddle
!
Why
,
the
newspapers
themselves
have
gathered
and
published
more
evidence
than
I
have
.
It
's
the
publicly
discovered
facts
in
this
case
that
have
aroused
prejudice
,
if
any
has
been
aroused
.
But
no
more
than
would
be
aroused
anywhere
,
I
maintain
.
Besides
,
if
this
case
is
to
be
transferred
to
a
distant
county
when
the
majority
of
the
witnesses
are
right
here
,
this
county
is
going
to
be
saddled
with
an
enormous
expense
,
which
it
can
not
afford
and
which
the
facts
do
not
warrant
.
"
Justice
Oberwaltzer
,
who
was
of
a
sober
and
moral
turn
,
a
slow
and
meticulous
man
inclined
to
favor
conservative
procedure
in
all
things
,
was
inclined
to
agree
.
And
after
five
days
,
in
which
he
did
not
more
than
muse
idly
upon
the
matter
,
he
decided
to
deny
the
motion
.
If
he
were
wrong
,
there
was
the
Appellate
Division
to
which
the
defense
could
resort
.
As
for
stays
,
having
fixed
the
date
of
the
trial
for
October
fifteenth
(
ample
time
,
as
he
judged
,
for
the
defense
to
prepare
its
case
)
,
he
adjourned
for
the
remainder
of
the
summer
to
his
cottage
on
Blue
Mountain
Lake
,
where
both
the
prosecution
and
the
defense
,
should
any
knotty
or
locally
insoluble
legal
complication
arise
,
would
be
able
to
find
him
and
have
his
personal
attention
.
But
with
the
entry
of
the
Messrs.
Belknap
and
Jephson
into
the
case
,
Mason
found
it
advisable
to
redouble
his
efforts
to
make
positive
,
in
so
far
as
it
were
possible
,
the
conviction
of
Clyde
.
He
feared
the
young
Jephson
as
much
as
he
did
Belknap
.
And
for
that
reason
,
taking
with
him
Burton
Burleigh
and
Earl
Newcomb
,
he
now
revisited
Lycurgus
,
where
among
other
things
he
was
able
to
discover
(
1
)
where
Clyde
had
purchased
the
camera
;
(
2
)
that
three
days
before
his
departure
for
Big
Bittern
he
had
said
to
Mrs.
Peyton
that
he
was
thinking
of
taking
his
camera
with
him
and
that
he
must
get
some
films
for
it
;
(
3
)
that
there
was
a
haberdasher
by
the
name
of
Orrin
Short
who
had
known
Clyde
well
and
that
but
four
months
before
Clyde
had
applied
to
him
for
advice
in
connection
with
a
factory
hand
's
pregnant
wife
--
also
(
and
this
in
great
confidence
to
Burton
Burleigh
,
who
had
unearthed
him
)
that
he
had
recommended
to
Clyde
a
certain
Dr.
Glenn
,
near
Gloversville
;
(
4
)
Dr.
Glenn
himself
being
sought
and
pictures
of
Clyde
and
Roberta
being
submitted
,
he
was
able
to
identify
Roberta
,
although
not
Clyde
,
and
to
describe
the
state
of
mind
in
which
she
had
approached
him
,
as
well
as
the
story
she
had
told
--
a
story
which
in
no
way
incriminated
Clyde
or
herself
,
and
which
,
therefore
,
Mason
decided
might
best
be
ignored
,
for
the
present
,
anyhow
.
And
(
5
)
,
via
these
same
enthusiastic
efforts
,
there
rose
to
the
surface
the
particular
hat
salesman
in
Utica
who
had
sold
Clyde
the
hat
.
For
Burton
Burleigh
being
interviewed
while
in
Utica
,
and
his
picture
published
along
with
one
of
Clyde
,
this
salesman
chanced
to
see
it
and
recalling
him
at
once
made
haste
to
communicate
with
Mason
,
with
the
result
that
his
testimony
,
properly
typewritten
and
sworn
to
,
was
carried
away
by
Mason
.
