locks said another man had been with
Bud but had gone back to Red Deer.
Then,” he stared directly into the paling
face of the prisoner, “I saw him give his
nother a 20 dollar gold-piece.”

“As for the age of the body,” Hether-
ington explained, entering the witness-
box again, “it was difficult to determine
at the time but examinations have since
shown that he hadn’t yet cut his wisdom
teeth.”

“And how,” demanded the Defence
Attorney with withering scorn, “do you
account for the fact that your corpse had
grown three and a half inches after being
buried ?”

“Quite simply,” snapped Hetherington
as the roar of laughter subsided. “When
I first measured the body I used a piece
of string as there was no tape available
—not realizing it would stretch. It’s
elasticity gave a height of five feet, ten-
and-a-half inches when measured. When
the body was re-measured later with a
tape it was exactly five-feet-seven.”

“Guilty, my lord!” The grim words
of the jury sounded the death knell of the
prisoner's hopes. Three months later the
strands woven in Hetherington’s tireless
trail were fashioned into a noose that
swung Bud Bullock into the lap of
Eternity.
