The Angel oj Terror Chapter I
THE hush of the court, which had been broken
when the foreman of the jury returned their
verdict, was intensified as the Judge, with a
quick glance over his pince-nez at the tall
prison er, marshalled his papers 'wi th the precision
and method which old men display in
tense moments such as these. He gathered
them together, white paper and blue and buff
and stacked them in a neat heap on a tiny
ledge to the left of his desk. Then he took
his pen and wrote a few words on a printed
paper before him.
Another breathless pause and he groped
beneath the desk and brought out a small
square of black silk and carefully laid it over
his white wig. Then he spoke:
" J ames Meredith, you have been convicted

THE PASSING OF JOHN MILLINBORN
" T DON'T know whether there's a law that stops my
X doing this, Jim; but if there is, you've got to get round it. You're a lawyer and you know the game. You're my pal and the best pal I've had, Jim, and you'll do it for me."
The dying man looked up into the old eyes that were watching him with such compassion and read their acquiescence.
No greater difference could be imagined than existed between the man on the bed and the slim neat figure who sat by his side. John Millinborn, broad-shouldered, big-featured, a veritable giant in frame and even in his last days suggesting the enormous strength which had been his in his prime, had been an outdoor man, a man of large voice and large capable hands ; James Kitson had been a student from his youth up and had spent his manhood in musty offices, stuffy courts, surrounded by crackling briefs and calf-bound law-books.
