CHAPTER XII Continued. 19 seems that the morning after the ery he had gone to the post office the mail, and a copy of the Boston lng Times, a paper to which :e did not subscribe, had been tded to him by mistake. He had n reading a book only a few days filled with murders and the ore, " and he remembered the account a robbery in It and how the evl-lc- e was manufactured. On his way ne he stopped at the police station information, and offered to drive police out to the home of the It seems in who had been arrested. it the state police had taken them their own 'homes and allowed one the men to change his coat be-- e taking him to jail.

When he had finished, I wondered the boy had not been right when thought that the man had been mply fooling him. But If It were ue, his story, taken with the dying ords of the chauffeur, would be mugh to free the men in prison. I ?cided to take him with me to the dice station and let him tell his ory to Roche. On our arrival In Saratoga we were icky enough to find both Roche and Without any com-ielack together. on my part, I had the boy repeat Is story to the two officers. They stened with a good deal of Interest toclie, of course, had handled the rob-erand knew more about It than black; but Black, I knew, believed hat Briffeur was the murderer of llyke, and the boys Btory confirmed nt y, tls belief. We debated the story for an hour, taking the view that the chauffeur might have been fooling the boy, and Black that the chauffeur had told the truth and was too drunk to realize what he had said. Roche clinched his argument by demanding, Why, under heaven, should Slyke owe Briffeur a large sum of money? That was, we all agreed, the weak point In the story. Roche exclaimed as a My Lord, thought occurred to him, do you realize that It was Briffeur that found the tom pieces of cloth on the rose bush, the piece that fitted Into the Etoche ' mant pants? In astonishment I asked, It was? It sure was. He came into the police station, a few days later with It and told us where he had discovered It, and asked If we knew what It was. We found later that It fitted into a hole In the pants one of the fellows was wearing. Was he ever in the cell with those men? Black asked, with a glance at me. Yes, several times. Slyke asked that we let him go In and talk to them. Black threw out his hands In disMy G , Roche, one would gust. think you kept a hotel. Tou let anyone go In and out that wanted to. Roche flushed, and replied angrily, Well, Slyke had lots of pull here, and I dont think ld any harm to let his chauffeur see those men.

You never saw the piece of cloth until he brought it in to you. He was in the cell alone with them, and bad the chance to cut out the piece of cloth. You cant prove that the chauffeurs atory is not true. It fits In better with facts than the evidence that sent those men to JaiL. But, oh boy, the easy way you run this Jail Roche scowled at us, and was about to retort when he was called from the room. Black and I lighted cigars and smoked in silence. Mr. Pelt, he asked at last, what do you think of my theory that Briffeur murdered Slyke? I had given little thought to the matter, and said as much. Black surprised me by adding, You know that Doctor King and the district attorney think that the only verdict that can be brougb. In In the Slyke case is lt-d- 1 suicide? Blacks remarks astonished me True, I realized that It was almost Impossible to present convincing legal proof that Slyke had been murdered, but there was still the chauffeurs death to be explained. If he hao been killed, as Bartley thought, be cause he knew too much about SlykeV death, then' it seemed to me that t bring in a verdict of suicide would b Impossible. .
