It was, also, clear that M. Rambert senior, who had only arrived after the crime, could not furnish any interesting information. "Tell me exactly how you discovered the crime, M. Dollon," he said as, pale and trembling, the steward accompanied him along the corridor to the scene of the murder.
Since Mme. de Langrune's death she has kept the child with her, thinking, very rightly, that it would be too painful for her to be at Beaulieu. The family council have appointed President Bonnet temporary guardian of Thérèse. He is that tall, thin man over there, talking to the steward, Dollon."
After Dollon had received him at the château, the magistrate had first of all made enquiry as to who was in the house at the time.
It was with sad yet sweet emotion, with a piercing regret, but with an unfailing hope, that he saw before his inner vision the charming, the adored face, and figure of Elizabeth Dollon, for whom he had felt, and felt still, an affection profound and sincere. He loved her: he would always love her.
"Gentlemen, the fragment of map which was picked up in the field was left in the custody of the steward Dollon. That unfortunate man was summoned to Paris by M. Germain Fuselier.
Gentlemen, I have to say that all these cases, the Beltham, Langrune and Dollon murders, and the Rosen-Danidoff burglaries, are absolutely and indisputably to be attributed to one and the same individual, to that man standing there Gurn!" Having made this extraordinary assertion, Juve again turned round towards the prisoner.
We have been chatting for a whole half-hour, and those ladies are still waiting for me. What on earth will they say to me?" He was about to ring for the warder when Gurn abruptly stayed him. "Tell me," he said with a sudden air of interest, "when is that man coming what's his name? Dollon?"
Then there is Dollon; but I imagine you will agree with me in thinking that his alibi removes him from suspicion more especially as the medical evidence proves that the murder was committed during the night, between two and three o'clock."
"Come back, yourself," he added, as the old man went away; "I may require further particulars from you." Dollon left the room, and Gigou, the clerk, leant forward towards the magistrate: tact was not the most shining of M. Gigou's qualities. "When your enquiry is finished, sir presently we shall have to pay a visit to the Mayor of Saint-Jaury. That is in accordance with the usual procedure.
The magistrate was much perplexed. "Then the crime is inexplicable, M. Dollon.
