But
just
here
a
long
wrangle
between
Belknap
and
Mason
as
to
the
competency
of
such
testimony
since
Clyde
declared
that
he
could
not
remember
clearly
--
but
Oberwaltzer
finally
allowing
the
testimony
on
the
ground
that
it
would
show
,
relatively
,
whether
a
light
or
heavy
push
or
blow
was
required
in
order
to
upset
any
one
who
might
be
"
lightly
"
or
"
loosely
"
poised
.
"
But
how
in
Heaven
's
name
are
these
antics
as
here
demonstrated
on
a
man
of
Mr.
Newcomb
's
build
to
show
what
would
follow
in
the
case
of
a
girl
of
the
size
and
weight
of
Miss
Alden
?
"
persisted
Belknap
.
"
Well
,
then
we
'll
put
a
girl
of
the
size
and
weight
of
Miss
Alden
in
here
.
"
And
at
once
calling
for
Zillah
Saunders
and
putting
her
in
Newcomb
's
place
.
But
Belknap
none-the-less
proceeding
with
:
"
And
what
of
that
?
The
conditions
are
n't
the
same
.
This
boat
is
n't
on
the
water
.
No
two
people
are
going
to
be
alike
in
their
resistance
or
their
physical
responses
to
accidental
blows
.
"
"
Then
you
refuse
to
allow
this
demonstration
to
be
made
?
"
(
This
was
from
Mason
,
turning
and
cynically
inquiring
.
)
"
Oh
,
make
it
if
you
choose
.
It
does
n't
mean
anything
though
,
as
anybody
can
see
,
"
persisted
Belknap
,
suggestively
.
And
so
Clyde
,
under
directions
from
Mason
,
now
pushing
at
Zillah
,
"
about
as
hard
,
"
(
he
thought
)
as
he
had
accidentally
pushed
at
Roberta
.
And
she
falling
back
a
little
--
not
much
--
but
in
so
doing
being
able
to
lay
a
hand
on
each
side
of
the
boat
and
so
save
herself
.
And
the
jury
,
in
spite
of
Belknap
's
thought
that
his
contentions
would
have
counteracted
all
this
,
gathering
the
impression
that
Clyde
,
on
account
of
his
guilt
and
fear
of
death
,
was
probably
attempting
to
conjure
something
that
had
been
much
more
viciously
executed
,
to
be
sure
.
For
had
not
the
doctors
sworn
to
the
probable
force
of
this
and
another
blow
on
the
top
of
the
head
?
And
had
not
Burton
Burleigh
testified
to
having
discovered
a
hair
in
the
camera
?
And
how
about
the
cry
that
woman
had
heard
?
How
about
that
?
But
with
that
particular
incident
the
court
was
adjourned
for
this
day
.
On
the
following
morning
at
the
sound
of
the
gavel
,
there
was
Mason
,
as
fresh
and
vigorous
and
vicious
as
ever
.
And
Clyde
,
after
a
miserable
night
in
his
cell
and
much
bolstering
by
Jephson
and
Belknap
,
determined
to
be
as
cool
and
insistent
and
innocent
-
appearing
as
he
could
be
,
but
with
no
real
heart
for
the
job
,
so
convinced
was
he
that
local
sentiment
in
its
entirety
was
against
him
--
that
he
was
believed
to
be
guilty
.
And
with
Mason
beginning
most
savagely
and
bitterly
:
