But we appreciate the thoughtfulness of yourself and your employer and your readiness to help us." Bormann rose to leave, but the commissioner put out a hand to stop him. "A few moments more, please; you may know of something else that will be of assistance to us. We have heard that Winkler boasted of his belongings-did he talk about his private affairs in any way?"
We had very little to do with him at first because of this, and soon we noticed that he seemed just as anxious to avoid us as we were to avoid him." The commissioner rose and Bormann followed his example. "I am very sorry, sir, if I have taken up your time to no purpose," said the latter modestly, as he took up his hat.
The youngest of them, Fritz Bormann, said some kind words and was about to wax more enthusiastic, when Degenhart, the eldest clerk, cut in with the words: "Oh, don't trouble yourself. Nobody ever liked Winkler here. 'He was not a good man he was not even a good worker. This is the first time that he has a reasonable excuse for neglecting his duties."
It was the manner adopted by the amiable commissioner when he was in a mood which was not amiable. And Muller knew also the cause of the mood. It was his own last remark, the words he addressed to Bormann.
"Neither did I and I don't know why, for the matter of that. He seemed just like a thousand others. I never heard of anything particularly wrong that he did." "No, no more did I," continued Bormann, "but I never heard of anything good about him either.
Fritz Bormann looked around astonished and rather doubtful at the little man who had risen from his chair and now came forward. Without waiting for an answer from the clerk, the other continued: "Did Winkler have money sent him frequently?" Bormann looked inquiringly at the commissioner, who replied with a smile: "You may answer. Answer anything that Mr.
Klingmayer could say, and she returned to her home in a cab furnished her by the kind commissioner. About two hours later, a police attendant announced that a gentleman would like to see Dr. von Riedan on business concerning the murder in Hietzing. "Friedrich Bormann" was the name on the card. "Ask him to step in here," said the commissioner. "And please ask Mr. Muller to join us."
He died without a moment's pain, with a merry thought in his head, perhaps, while many another better man has to linger in torture for weeks. No, Bormann, the best I can say about Winkler is that his death makes one nonentity the less on earth."
It wasn't really very important, and it doesn't seem as if it could have anything to do with this murder and robbery; still it may be of some use." "Everything that would throw light on the dead man's life could be of use," said Dr. von Riedau. "Please tell us what it is you know." Fritz Bormann began: "Winkler came to the office as usual on Monday morning and worked steadily at his desk.
Riedau turned to Bormann and continued: "And because it is of no interest to us where his money came from for it can have nothing whatever to do with his murder and the subsequent robbery therefore what you noticed of his behaviour cannot be of any importance or bearing in the case in any way. Unless, indeed, you should find out anything more.
