"I telephoned Polke to keep an eye on him, anyway, if he did arrive at either Scarnham or the Warren," answered Starmidge, still grimly determined. "And it's my impression that he has come down to see that nephew of his. Easleby! they're both in at it. Both!" Again the elder detective made no answer.
Markham is not in town, gentlemen," he said, in a quick, business-like fashion, which convinced Starmidge that the speaker was not uttering any mere excuse. "He was here yesterday for an hour or two, but he will be away for some days now. Can I do anything for you? his manager." Easleby handed over the two professional cards which he had in readiness, and leaned across the counter.
"Got amongst the audience, I suppose?" "No, sir," replied Easleby. "Mr. Gabriel Chestermarke, sir, entered your stage-door at about eleven-thirty walked straight in. But he never came out of that door so he must have left by another exit." Mr. Leopold Castlemayne suddenly sat up very erect and rigid. His face flushed a little, his lips parted; he looked from one man to the other. "Mr.
It isn't my business to interfere with Gabriel Chestermarke or Godwin Markham in his money-lending affairs nor to trace Lord Ellersdeane's missing jewels. My job is to find John Horbury, or to get to know what happened to him." "And all this helps," answered Easleby. "Haven't you got anything?" "Don't know that I have," admitted Starmidge. "Just now, anyway.
"Let's see if the other has any later news. Ah! here we are! there is more in the stop press space of this one. Now then " He held the second newspaper half in front of himself, half in front of Easleby, and again rapidly read over the report. "'Scarnham further adjournment. On the Coroner's inquiry being resumed at four o'clock, Thomas Beavers, butler to Mr.
I'll go with you, of course, but you manage it." "Right, my lad!" assented Easleby. "All I shall want'll be a copy of this morning's newspaper to lead up from."
But, as in the case of many another Act of Parliament, Easleby, evasion is not only possible, but easy. A money-lender can register in a name which isn't his own if it's one which he generally uses in his business. So there you are! I've seen that name Godwin Markham advertised ever since I was a youngster it's an old established business, well known.
Hollis has called on you, then?" he said. "Hollis was here last Friday afternoon," answered Mr. Stipp. "Called on me at five o'clock just before I was leaving for the day. He never offered me any money! Glad if he had it's time young Lester paid up." "What did Hollis come for, then, if that's a fair question?" asked Easleby.
"Chestermarke! Gabriel!" Easleby opened mouth and eyes and stared with eager interest. "Egad!" he muttered. "That's lucky! Makes it all the easier. I'll lay you anything you like, my lad, this manager doesn't know anything not a thing! about the double identity business. We shall soon find out leave it to me at first, anyway. A few plain questions " Mr.
The door-keeper departed up a dark passage, and Easleby pointed Starmidge to a playbill which hung, framed on the wall, behind them. "There you are!" he said, indicating a line near the big capitals at the top. "'Lessee and Manager Mr. Leopold Castlemayne. That's our man. Fancy name, of course real name Tom Smith, or Jim Johnson, you know. But, Lord bless you, what's in a name?
