"You think it possible that the Nastirsevitch affair is the work of one lot, and the Lennard affair the work of another?" asked Allerdyke, thoughtfully. "In that case, I'll ask you a question, Mr. Delkin. How do you account for the fact that my cousin James, the Frenchwoman, Lisette Beaurepaire, and his valet, Ebers, or Federman, or Herman, were all found dead under similar circumstances?
Schmall had set up a business here in the East End as a small manufacturing chemist he'd evidently a perfect and a diabolical genius for chemistry, especially in secret poisons and down there Merrifield and Van Koon used to go. Also, there used to go there the young man Ebers, or Federman we'll stick to Ebers who, from Merrifield's account, seems to have been a tool of Schmall's.
Allerdyke! this affair is too serious for any hole-and-corner work. I shall tell Van Koon that what we know, or fancy, must be thrown into the common stock of knowledge! The thing is to get at the people who've been behind this poor chap Ebers, or Federman, or Herman, or whatever his name is. Allerdyke! we must go right into things." Allerdyke laughed sardonically.
No men, for instance?" M. Bonnechose shook his head. Then, once again, his face brightened. "No!" he said. "But once just once I saw Federman talking to a man in the street Shaftesbury Avenue. A clean-shaven man, well built, brown hair a Frenchman, I think. But, of course, a stranger to me." The chief exchanged a glance with Allerdyke and Fullaway both knew what that glance meant.
We start we look at each other we regard ourselves with comprehension. We both make the same exclamation 'It is Federman! He is wanted! He has done something! Then Madame says, 'Aristide, in the morning, you will go to the police commissary, I say 'It shall be done we will have no mystery around the Cafe Bonnechose. Monsieur, I am here and I have spoken!"
