While they were breakfasting they went on talking: "The watch, the money, and so on all untouched " Chubikoff began, leading off the talk, "show as clearly as that two and two are four that the murder was not committed for the purpose of robbery." "The murder was committed by an educated man!" insisted Dukovski. "What evidence have you of that?"

But where are you off to, Chubikoff? Where are you going?" The examining magistrate swore, and left the bath house. Dukovski followed him, crestfallen. They silently took their seats in the carriage and drove off. The road never seemed to them so long and disagreeable as it did that time. Both remained silent. Chubikoff trembled with rage all the way.

In the darkness appeared the shadowy outlines of trees, and among the trees a little house with a crooked chimney. "That is the bath house," said Olga Petrovna. "But I implore you, do not tell my brother! If you do, I'll never hear the end of it!" Going up to the bath house, Chubikoff and Dukovski saw a huge padlock on the door.

He was accompanied to the scene of the murder by his inveterate companion, fellow worker, and secretary, Dukovski, a tall young fellow of twenty-six. "Is it possible, gentlemen?" cried Chubikoff, entering Psyekoff's room, and quickly shaking hands with everyone. Is it possible? Marcus Ivanovitch? Murdered? No! It is impossible! Im-poss-i- ble!

You see what an affair it is. What a case it is. A romance! A woman murdering her own husband for love! The fame of it will go all over Russia. They will make you investigator in all important cases.

We broke a spring, you know," began Chubikoff, entering the sitting room and sinking into an armchair. "Take her unawares at once!" whispered Dukovski; "take her unawares!" "A spring hum yes so we came in." "Take her unawares, I tell you! She will guess what the matter is if you drag things out like that." "Well, do it yourself as you want.

"There is nothing special to be found on the floor," said Dukovski. "No stains or scratches. The only thing I found was a struck safety match. Here it is! So far as I remember, Marcus Ivanovitch did not smoke. And he always used sulphur matches, never safety matches. Perhaps this safety match may serve as a clew!" "Oh, do shut up!" cried the magistrate deprecatingly. "You go on about your match!
