Lyman will be on hand and go along too to nail their man!" cried the delighted Walter. "Not so fast, son," returned Mr. Crowninshield. "We are not going to track them down so close and scare them off at the outset. No, we sha'n't send any one with O'Connel. He'll go and meet the agent and follow up directions precisely as if he knew nothing about Lola.
It was strange that Crowninshield, the real assassin, should have been indicted and arrested on the testimony of Hatch, who was himself in prison, in a distant part of the State, at the time of the murder, and had no actual knowledge on the subject.
Indeed, the name I bore, the name of Crowninshield, was not the kind of name that one associates usually with a mercer's business and with the path in life along which my father and mother walked with content. There certainly had been old families of Crowninshields in Sussex and elsewhere, and some of them had bustled in the big wars.
A spluttering crackle blotted out the wail. "You would think they were frying doughnuts," grinned Dick, "wouldn't you?" "And you really believe a thunderstorm would cause a noise like this?" queried Mrs. Crowninshield incredulously. "It might. We have no way of knowing exactly what is raising the trouble."
Other witnesses testified that, on the night of the murder, his brother, George Crowninshield, Colonel Benjamin Selman, of Marblehead, and Daniel Chase, of Lynn, were together in Salem, at a gambling-house usually frequented by Richard; these were indicted as accomplices in the crime.
He then disclosed that he had been an associate of R.

"The sending part of the machine is more complicated, is it?" "Yes, sir.
Stevens and Nadia came often to the Sirius, and were accompanied frequently by Verna Pickering, who claimed anew her ancient right of "kicking around under foot," wherever Brandon and Westfall might chance to be and at such times General Crowninshield was practically certain to appear.
He said he was going to cruise a while this summer and wanted to be sure everything was shipshape before going to Maine. The mate told me they were waiting to pick up some people at Buzzard's Bay." "Going to take the yacht through the Canal?" "Yes." "An interesting trip," observed Mr. Crowninshield slowly. "That Canal is quite a time saver for New Yorkers." He yawned and started to move away.
Captain Marmaduke now turned towards the other man, who had never taken his eyes off me since I entered the room. 'Cornelys Jensen, here is Master Ralph Crowninshield, your shipmate that is to be.
