"You were out of the house, then, at the time Mr. Wells died?" "I can prove it by as many witnesses as you wish to call." "Now, about these letters, Hawkins," Sperry said. "The letters in the bag. Have you still got them?" He half rose we had given him a chair facing the light and then sat down again. "What letters?" "Don't beat about the bush. We know you have the letters. And we want them."
Rachel came out, beaming with smiles; and in a short time Pat Sperry appeared, followed by another person whom I was truly glad to see Gideon Tuttle. The latter had joined Uncle Jeff some days before. Although desperately wounded, he had managed to make his escape, and had lain in hiding in the mountains for several days, till he had recovered sufficient strength to travel.
Alice gasped her lips set, her breast heaving. The doctor shrugged his shoulders. "Unfortunately yes," was his reply. Alice straightened to her feet, crossed to the mantel and stood for some moments with her forehead pressed against the cool edge of the marble, Sperry watching her in silence. "Poor Margie!" he heard her say then she turned to him with a strange, calm look in her eyes.
Sperry has consistently maintained that he had no experiences whatever during that period, but admits that he heard various knockings in his bedroom at night, which he attributed to the lighting of his furnace, and the resulting expansion of the furniture due to heat.

Mary Saffard, Jane Addams, Katharine Waugh McCullough, Ella Stewart, Mrs. Mary Wood Swift, Mrs. Mary S. Sperry, Mary Cogshall, Florence Kelly, Mrs. Ogden Mills Reid and Mrs. Clara B. Arthur, Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane, Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw, Mrs. Raymond Brown, the splendidly executive president of our New York State Suffrage Association, and my benefactress, Mrs.
And Sperry, after waiting, went on to his next question: "Who occupied the room overhead?" But here we received the reply to the previous question: "There was a box of cartridges in the table-drawer.

At something after eleven Herbert Robinson called me up at my office. He was at Sperry's house, Sperry having been his physician during his recent illness. "I say, Horace, this is Herbert." "Yes. How are you?" "Doing well, Sperry says. I'm at his place now. I'm speaking for him. He's got a patient." "Yes." "You were here last night, he says."
These I have cut, for the sake of clearness. For some five minutes, perhaps, Miss Jeremy breathed stertorously, and it was during that interval that we introduced Clara and took up our positions. Sperry sat near the medium now, having changed places with Herbert, and the rest of us were as we had been, save that we no longer touched hands.
On a glass shelf over the wash-stand were his razors, a safety and, beside it, in a black case, an assortment of the long-bladed variety, one for each day of the week, and so marked. Sperry stood thoughtfully in the doorway. "The servants are out," he said. "According to Elinor's statement he was dressing when he did it. And yet some one has had a wild impulse for tidiness here, since it happened.
