"
And
it
was
because
you
were
a
moral
and
mental
coward
as
I
see
it
,
Clyde
--
not
that
I
am
condemning
you
for
anything
that
you
can
not
help
.
(
After
all
,
you
did
n't
make
yourself
,
did
you
?
)
"
But
this
was
too
much
,
and
the
judge
here
cautioned
him
to
use
more
discretion
in
framing
his
future
questions
.
"
Then
you
went
about
in
Alton
,
Peoria
,
Bloomington
,
Milwaukee
,
and
Chicago
--
hiding
away
in
small
rooms
in
back
streets
and
working
as
a
dishwasher
or
soda
fountain
man
,
or
a
driver
,
and
changing
your
name
to
Tenet
when
you
really
might
have
gone
back
to
Kansas
City
and
resumed
your
old
place
?
"
continued
Jephson
.
"
I
object
!
I
object
!
"
yelled
Mason
.
"
There
is
no
evidence
here
to
show
that
he
could
have
gone
there
and
resumed
his
old
place
.
"
"
Objection
sustained
,
"
ruled
Oberwaltzer
,
although
at
the
time
in
Jephson
's
pocket
was
a
letter
from
Francis
X.
Squires
,
formerly
captain
of
the
bell-hops
of
the
Green
--
Davidson
at
the
time
Clyde
was
there
,
in
which
he
explained
that
apart
from
the
one
incident
in
connection
with
the
purloined
automobile
,
he
knew
nothing
derogatory
to
Clyde
;
and
that
always
previously
,
he
had
found
him
prompt
,
honest
,
willing
,
alert
and
well-mannered
.
Also
that
at
the
time
the
accident
occurred
,
he
himself
had
been
satisfied
that
Clyde
could
have
been
little
else
than
one
of
those
led
and
that
if
he
had
returned
and
properly
explained
matters
he
would
have
been
reinstated
.
It
was
irrelevant
.
Thereafter
followed
Clyde
's
story
of
how
,
having
fled
from
the
difficulties
threatening
him
in
Kansas
City
and
having
wandered
here
and
there
for
two
years
,
he
had
finally
obtained
a
place
in
Chicago
as
a
driver
and
later
as
a
bell-boy
at
the
Union
League
,
and
also
how
while
still
employed
at
the
first
of
these
places
he
had
written
his
mother
and
later
at
her
request
was
about
to
write
his
uncle
,
when
,
accidentally
meeting
him
at
the
Union
League
,
he
was
invited
by
him
to
come
to
Lycurgus
.
And
thereupon
,
in
their
natural
order
,
followed
all
of
the
details
,
of
how
he
had
gone
to
work
,
been
promoted
and
instructed
by
his
cousin
and
the
foreman
as
to
the
various
rules
,
and
then
later
how
he
had
met
Roberta
and
still
later
Miss
X.
But
in
between
came
all
the
details
as
to
how
and
why
he
had
courted
Roberta
Alden
,
and
how
and
why
,
having
once
secured
her
love
he
felt
and
thought
himself
content
--
but
how
the
arrival
of
Miss
X
,
and
her
overpowering
fascination
for
him
,
had
served
completely
to
change
all
his
notions
in
regard
to
Roberta
,
and
although
he
still
admired
her
,
caused
him
to
feel
that
never
again
as
before
could
he
desire
to
marry
her
.
But
Jephson
,
anxious
to
divert
the
attention
of
the
jury
from
the
fact
that
Clyde
was
so
very
fickle
--
a
fact
too
trying
to
be
so
speedily
introduced
into
the
case
--
at
once
interposed
with
:
"
Clyde
!
You
really
loved
Roberta
Alden
at
first
,
did
n't
you
?
"
