We
admit
all
that
,
and
we
are
completely
willing
to
concede
that
he
was
,
or
must
have
been
,
thinking
of
all
these
things
.
The
prosecution
charges
,
and
we
admit
that
such
is
the
fact
,
that
he
had
been
so
completely
ensnared
by
this
Miss
X
,
and
she
by
him
,
that
he
was
willing
and
eager
to
forsake
this
first
love
who
had
given
herself
to
him
,
for
one
who
,
because
of
her
beauty
and
her
wealth
,
seemed
so
much
more
desirable
--
even
as
to
Roberta
Alden
he
seemed
more
desirable
than
others
.
And
if
she
erred
as
to
him
--
as
plainly
she
did
--
might
not
--
might
not
he
have
erred
eventually
in
his
infatuated
following
of
one
who
in
the
ultimate
--
who
can
say
?
--
might
not
have
cared
so
much
for
him
.
At
any
rate
,
one
of
his
strongest
fear
thoughts
at
this
time
,
as
he
himself
has
confessed
to
us
,
his
counsel
,
was
that
if
this
Miss
X
learned
that
he
had
been
up
there
with
this
other
girl
of
whom
she
had
not
even
so
much
as
heard
,
well
then
,
it
would
mean
the
end
of
her
regard
for
him
.
"
I
know
that
as
you
gentlemen
view
such
things
,
such
conduct
has
no
excuse
for
being
.
One
may
be
the
victim
of
an
internal
conflict
between
two
illicit
moods
,
yet
nevertheless
,
as
the
law
and
the
church
see
it
,
guilty
of
sin
and
crime
.
But
the
truth
,
none-the
-
less
,
is
that
they
do
exist
in
the
human
heart
,
law
or
no
law
,
religion
or
no
religion
,
and
in
scores
of
cases
they
motivate
the
actions
of
the
victims
.
And
we
admit
that
they
motivated
the
actions
of
Clyde
Griffiths
.
"
But
did
he
kill
Roberta
Alden
?
"
No
!
"
And
again
,
no
!
"
Or
did
he
plot
in
any
way
,
half-heartedly
or
otherwise
,
to
drag
her
up
there
under
the
guise
of
various
aliases
and
then
,
because
she
would
not
set
him
free
,
drown
her
?
Ridiculous
!
Impossible
!
Insane
!
His
plan
was
completely
and
entirely
different
.
"
But
,
gentlemen
,
"
and
here
he
suddenly
paused
as
though
a
new
or
overlooked
thought
had
just
come
to
him
,
"
perhaps
you
would
be
better
satisfied
with
my
argument
and
the
final
judgment
you
are
to
render
if
you
were
to
have
the
testimony
of
one
eye-witness
at
least
of
Roberta
Alden
's
death
--
one
who
,
instead
of
just
hearing
a
voice
,
was
actually
present
,
and
who
saw
and
hence
knows
how
she
met
her
death
.
"
He
now
looked
at
Jephson
as
much
as
to
say
:
Now
,
Reuben
,
at
last
,
here
we
are
!
And
Reuben
,
turning
to
Clyde
,
easily
and
yet
with
iron
in
his
every
motion
,
whispered
:
"
Well
,
here
we
are
,
Clyde
,
it
's
up
to
you
now
.
Only
I
'm
going
along
with
you
,
see
?
I
've
decided
to
examine
you
myself
.
I
've
drilled
and
drilled
you
,
and
I
guess
you
wo
n't
have
any
trouble
in
telling
me
,
will
you
?
"
He
beamed
on
Clyde
genially
and
encouragingly
,
and
Clyde
,
because
of
Belknap
's
strong
plea
as
well
as
this
newest
and
best
development
in
connection
with
Jephson
,
now
stood
up
and
with
almost
a
jaunty
air
,
and
one
out
of
all
proportion
to
his
mood
of
but
four
hours
before
,
now
whispered
:
"
Gee
!
I
'm
glad
you
're
going
to
do
it
.
I
'll
be
all
right
now
,
I
think
.
"
