This encouraged Llewelyn to resume offensive operations, and he poured troops into Cardigan to ravage the lands of a Welshman in the English interest. The English forces in Radnor marched up along the left bank of the Wye, and came in sight of the enemy at Buelth, December 10th. Llewelyn was surprised during a reconnaissance and killed by an English knight, Stephen de Frankton.
In reaching Elwood, I had tramped from Muncie, Indiana, to Anderson, a long weary walk for one whose feet, like mine, were not accustomed to it. From Anderson I tramped to Frankton, and there I caught a freight and rode the bumpers to Elwood. The train took me right into the mill. It was summer and the mill had been shut down by the hard times. The boss was there looking over the machinery.
'I'll get the money in notes from the bank this afternoon, Frankton, and if I don't give it to you in the meantime, you'll find the notes in the top left-hand drawer of my desk tomorrow morning. Well, that was what the man told me; said he'd been bothering his brains in wondering if Jacob did draw that money, and so on Frankton, of course, had told him that he knew nothing about it, and that as Jacob was dead, no more could be done in the matter.
Jacob Herapath, gentlemen," he added, turning to his astonished listeners, "was shot dead and robbed by his office manager, James Frankton, and if James Frankton's eating his Sunday supper in peace and quietness, it's in one of our cells, for I arrested him at seven o'clock this very evening and with no help from you, Mr. Burchill!
And, on that, I had Frankton watched all yesterday, last night, and today, and as I said, I arrested him tonight and, in all my experience I never saw a man more surprised, and never knew one who so lost his nerve." "And his confession?" asked Selwood. "Oh! ordinary," answered Davidge. "Jacob had made an appointment with him for half-past eleven or so.
Now on that, I at once began some inquiries. I found out a thing or two never mind what one was to trace a hundred pound note which Frankton had cashed recently. I found, only yesterday morning, that that note was one of fifty similar notes paid to Jacob Herapath by his bankers in exchange for his own cheque on the afternoon of November 12th.
This man, James Frankton, the manager, was present when the deal was being effected, and when they'd concluded terms, Jacob said, turning to Frankton.
In the absence of their leader, the Welsh were a helpless mass of sheep, and were easily put to flight. Meanwhile Llewelyn, hearing the din of battle, hurried back to direct his followers. On the way he was slain by Stephen of Frankton, a Shropshire veteran of the Barons' War, who fought under the banner of Roger l'Estrange.
Herapath was connected, you know." "I know I know," answered Triffitt, still busy. "Those two behind him, now middle-aged parties?" "One's Mr. Frankton, the manager, and the other's Mr. Charlwood, the cashier, at the estate office," replied Selwood. "They'll go down in staff and employees," said Triffitt. "Um I've got a good list.
