This (lives weight to the testimony of Wilkus, who said ho found the impression of the key in the drawer Counsel then argued that the burglars must have had help from u it bin. and he marshalled all the. e\ id-nee that in any way bore out this surmise.

Gravelle was dismissed because his theory was too complicated for Pare to master The prem-her lock-picker was u man of keen nerves and touch, and the causes of Miles opening the Safe were not. consistent with Pare's possibilities The shortage of $l<Hk was next touched upon. How did Holden know of this fact, and lik.^ wise that t'heeseniaker Pruse was to have a certain amount of money on a certain day. The accurate descrip- tion of Ponton's rooms by Holden and Koach " as also cause for sur- prise, and the fact that Ponton, a man on small Hillary, attended raci-s and played cards for money was also alluded to. Me summed up Ponton's finances while in Napanee as insur- ance $80, minus $51. which would represent his snxings. He was glad the Jury had to decide and not him.
