Thomas Brown, the black-haired, false pretender, however, immediately placed himself on friendly terms with every one within reach, and his merry stories were fully appreciated by the residents of the correctional institution in which they found themselves thrown together. But how fared William Bucholz during the days that had intervened since his incarceration?
Bucholz started slightly, but he had gone too far to retreat, and he admitted at once that if he could get out, he knew where the money of the murdered man was hid, and that no one beside himself possessed the knowledge. There was an instantaneous gleam of satisfaction in the eyes of Sommers as this information was conveyed to him, and he determined to secure his release at all hazards.
They were sitting together one day shortly after this, when Bucholz, in a jocular manner, addressing his companion, said: "Ah, my dear Sommers, I am surprised to find you here in jail and upon such a charge as they have brought against you." "Yes, but my dear Bucholz, consider my surprise to find you here, and upon the charge of murder, too.

Could it be possible that they had been deceived that they were seeking for something which had no existence? Could Bucholz have imposed upon the credulity of Sommers and sent him upon this fool's errand? Or could the detective have made a mistake in the location designated? One or the other seemed to be the case.
Bollman cheerfully assented to this proposition, and only awaited the furnishing of the loan by Sommers to embark upon his journey to the home of Bucholz, and to attempt the collection of the money which he had inherited.
"What is the reason?" inquired Bucholz, with some indication of surprise and curiosity. "Well, he does not use me properly, and I have grown tired of his abuse," answered Frank, sullenly. After further questioning him, Bucholz learned the story of the old man's eccentricities, the fact of his large possessions, and the probability of his extending his travels as far West as California.
Bucholz Suspected. The next day the sun shone gloriously over a beautiful winter's day, and as its bright rays lighted up the ice-laden trees in the little wood, causing their branches to shimmer with the brilliant hues of a rainbow's magnificence, no one would have imagined that in the gloom of the night before, a human cry for help had gone up through the quiet air or that a human life had been beaten out under their glittering branches.
