"Suppose Morley gives Delaney the slip in Baltimore and doubles back to Corning's! Keep him there all day." He left the telephone and went up to Bristow's room, No. 717. When he knocked, the door was opened by a young woman in the uniform and cap of a trained nurse. "I beg your pardon," he began, "I got the wrong room, I'm afraid. "This is Mr. Bristow's room," she said in a low tone. "Are you Mr.
The chief was in a hurry, and the two men, going out of Bristow's back door, walked down to the corner of the sleeping porch of No. 7, the nurses' home. The frail wire fences that had served to partition the back lots of Nos. 5, 7, and 9 had either fallen down or been carried away, but there was a tall five-board fence at the rear of the three lots.
The host, accomplishing the impossible in a prohibition state, had produced a bottle of champagne, explaining: "Just for you, chief; I never touch it;" and the chief had enjoyed it, unmistakably. At Bristow's suggestion they refrained from discussing any phase of the murder during the meal.
And on the appointment of the Resident Bristow, in October, 1782, he, the said Hastings, did order and direct him in every point of the instructions to Middleton not revoked or qualified by his then instructions, to which he did require his, the said Resident Bristow's, "most attentive and literal obedience."

"Why, to hold the inquest," explained the constable. "The coroner's sick abed, and he said you bein' the nearest jestice of the peace you should serve." "Oh," said the squire with more ease. "Well, where is it the body?" "They taken it to Bristow's place and put it in his stable for the present. They brought it out over on that side and his place was the nearest.
