"I'll go with you, Professor, and there's no reason why you can't have this gun, if it will help you." "That will be fine, Mr. Brasher. It is just the thing I need." He waited while the weapon and the shells were wrapped in a paper. Matthews took the parcel and the five men went outside. Professor Brierly nodded with satisfaction when he looked up at the rear facade of Miller's Folly.
Brasher explained briefly: "Professor, this bird we got has as many aliases as I got hairs in my head and he's got a criminal record as long as my arm. He's known to the police from here to the Mississippi. The last job he did was in New York, up above Yonkers, where he got into a house like he got into Miller's Folly, chimney, rope, climbing irons and everything.
He swirled first one of them violently in the clear water of the bathtub. Then, he siphoned off the water. The water was then subjected to a careful filtering process. The solids resulting from this were subjected to the microscope. This was done in turn with each section of the coil of rope and twine that Brasher brought. Toward the end of his examination, Professor Brierly had Matthews' help.
By the way, Pugh, I believe that I am the oldest friend you have." "I I don't know about that. There's there's Brasher." "Brasher! Who's Brasher? You wouldn't compare my friendship to the friendship of such a man as Brasher? Think of the tastes we have in common, you and I. We're both collectors." "Ye-es, we're both collectors." "I make my interests yours, and you make your interests mine.
Brasher retreated from its neighborhood. "Thank you, Mr. Tress, I am no smoker, as you are aware. And I have no desire to acquire the art of smoking by means of a poisoned pipe." Tress laughed. He blew out the match and threw it into the grate. "Then I tell you what I'll do I'll have up Bob." "Bob why Bob?"
As was the case with Pugh, one peculiarity I learned from actual experience. It was also from actual experience that I learned that the thing was well, I said haunted, but you may use any other word you like." "Tell us, as briefly as possible, what it was you really did discover." "Take the pipe out of the box!" Brasher took the pipe out of the box and held it in his hand.
"Our business here," began Brasher I must own that his manner is a little ponderous "is of a scientific, I may say also, and at the same time, of a judicial nature. Our object is the Pursuit of Truth and the Advancement of Inquiry." "Have you been trying another smoke?" inquired Tress, nodding his head toward me.
Before I had time to answer, Brasher went droning on: "Our friend here tells me that you say this pipe is haunted." "I say it is haunted because it is haunted." I looked at Tress. I half suspected that he was poking fun at us. But he appeared to be serious enough.
When Brasher repeated the question he shook his head absently. "What? Oh, yes, yes. If you mean that we have the murderer of Mr. Miller, Mr. Brasher, I am not at all certain that you are right. Would you mind asking this Boyle when he had this watch cleaned last?" Brasher looked at him in undisguised surprise. Professor Brierly was oblivious to this. He was peering intently at the watch.
He said: "Like I said, there's nothin' to it, Professor, nothin' at all. Miller committed suicide." Professor Brierly shook his head gently. "I am afraid you are wrong, Mr. Brasher. There is a great deal to it. One thing, seems certain. If Mr. Miller killed himself, it is reasonably certain that it was an accident; that he did not intend to do so.
