And
then
the
elder
daughter
,
Stella
,
testifying
that
during
the
latter
part
of
October
or
the
first
of
November
,
shortly
after
Roberta
had
taken
the
room
,
she
had
passed
her
and
a
man
,
whom
she
was
now
able
to
identify
as
Clyde
,
standing
less
than
a
hundred
feet
from
the
house
,
and
noticing
that
they
were
evidently
quarreling
she
had
paused
to
listen
.
She
was
not
able
to
distinguish
every
word
of
the
conversation
,
but
upon
leading
questions
from
Mason
was
able
to
recall
that
Roberta
had
protested
that
she
could
not
let
him
come
into
her
room
--
"
it
would
not
look
right
.
"
And
he
had
finally
turned
upon
his
heel
,
leaving
Roberta
standing
with
outstretched
arms
as
if
imploring
him
to
return
.
And
throughout
all
this
Clyde
staring
in
amazement
,
for
he
had
in
those
days
--
in
fact
throughout
his
entire
contact
with
Roberta
--
imagined
himself
unobserved
.
And
decidedly
this
confirmed
much
of
what
Mason
had
charged
in
his
opening
address
--
that
he
had
willfully
and
with
full
knowledge
of
the
nature
of
the
offense
,
persuaded
Roberta
to
do
what
plainly
she
had
not
wanted
to
do
--
a
form
of
testimony
that
was
likely
to
prejudice
the
judge
as
well
as
the
jury
and
all
these
conventional
people
of
this
rural
county
.
And
Belknap
,
realizing
this
,
trying
to
confuse
this
Stella
in
her
identification
of
Clyde
.
But
only
succeeding
in
eliciting
information
that
some
time
in
November
or
the
early
part
of
December
,
shortly
after
the
above
incident
,
she
had
seen
Clyde
arrive
,
a
box
of
some
kind
under
his
arm
,
and
knock
at
Roberta
's
door
and
enter
,
and
was
then
positive
that
he
was
the
same
young
man
she
had
seen
that
moonlight
night
quarreling
with
Roberta
.
And
next
,
Whiggam
,
and
after
him
Liggett
,
testifying
as
to
the
dates
of
arrival
of
Clyde
at
the
factory
,
as
well
as
Roberta
,
and
as
to
the
rule
regarding
department
heads
and
female
help
,
and
,
in
so
far
as
they
could
see
,
the
impeccable
surface
conduct
of
both
Clyde
and
Roberta
,
neither
seeming
to
look
at
the
other
or
at
any
one
else
for
that
matter
.
(
That
was
Liggett
testifying
.
)
And
after
them
again
,
others
.
Mrs.
Peyton
to
testify
as
to
the
character
of
his
room
and
his
social
activities
in
so
far
as
she
was
able
to
observe
them
.
Mrs.
Alden
to
testify
that
at
Christmas
the
year
before
Roberta
had
confessed
to
her
that
her
superior
at
the
factory
--
Clyde
Griffiths
,
the
nephew
of
the
owner
--
was
paying
attention
to
her
,
but
that
it
had
to
be
kept
secret
for
the
time
being
.
Frank
Harriet
,
Harley
Baggott
,
Tracy
Trumbull
and
Eddie
Sells
to
testify
that
during
December
last
Clyde
had
been
invited
here
and
there
and
had
attended
various
social
gatherings
in
Lycurgus
.
John
Lambert
,
a
druggist
of
Schenectady
,
testifying
that
some
time
in
January
he
had
been
applied
to
by
a
youth
,
who
he
now
identified
as
the
defendant
,
for
some
medicine
which
would
bring
about
a
miscarriage
.
Orrin
Short
to
testify
that
in
late
January
Clyde
had
asked
him
if
he
knew
of
a
doctor
who
could
aid
a
young
married
woman
--
according
to
Clyde
's
story
,
the
wife
of
an
employee
of
Griffiths
&
Company
--
who
was
too
poor
to
afford
a
child
,
and
whose
husband
,
according
to
Clyde
,
had
asked
him
for
this
information
.
And
next
Dr.
Glenn
,
testifying
to
Roberta
's
visit
,
having
previously
recalled
her
from
pictures
published
in
the
papers
,
but
adding
that
professionally
he
had
been
unwilling
to
do
anything
for
her
.
And
then
C.
B.
Wilcox
,
a
farmer
neighbor
of
the
Aldens
,
testifying
to
having
been
in
the
washroom
back
of
the
kitchen
on
or
about
June
twenty-ninth
or
thirtieth
,
on
which
occasion
Roberta
having
been
called
over
the
long
distance
telephone
from
Lycurgus
by
a
man
who
gave
his
name
as
Baker
,
he
had
heard
her
say
to
him
:
"
But
,
Clyde
,
I
ca
n't
wait
that
long
.
You
know
I
ca
n't
.
And
I
wo
n't
.
"
And
her
voice
had
sounded
excited
and
distressed
.
Mr.
Wilcox
was
positive
as
to
the
name
Clyde
.
And
Ethel
Wilcox
,
a
daughter
of
this
same
C.
B.
--
short
and
fat
and
with
a
lisp
--
who
swore
that
on
three
preceding
occasions
,
having
received
long
distance
requests
for
Roberta
,
she
had
proceeded
to
get
her
.
And
each
time
the
call
was
from
Lycurgus
from
a
man
named
Baker
.
Also
,
on
one
occasion
,
she
had
heard
her
refer
to
the
caller
as
Clyde
.
And
once
she
had
heard
her
say
that
"
under
no
circumstances
would
she
wait
that
long
,
"
although
what
she
meant
by
that
she
did
not
know
.
And
next
Roger
Beane
,
a
rural
free
delivery
letter-carrier
,
who
testified
that
