Has she not her father's command to wed me if I but ask her, even as she would have wed that scoundrel, Godin, had things gone as he planned them? Did she not tell us both that she should keep her covenant with her father though it meant for her a fate worse than death? And you would have me profit by her sacrifice? For shame!
M. Godin, however, took the stand and Maitland proceeded to examine him in a way which only added amazement to wonder. Q. How long have you been at work on this case? A. Ever since the murder. Q. When did you first visit M. Latour's rooms? A. Do you mean to enter them? Q. Yes. A. I did not enter his rooms until the day he was arrested.
A. It is true to the letter. Q. And subsequently you killed the monkey lest he should betray you by exhibiting his little tricks, at an inopportune moment in a way to compromise you. Is it not so? A. It is. I killed him, though he was my daughter's pet. We were stricken aghast at Maitland's sudden grasp of the case. Even Godin was surprised. What could it all mean?
The man in there is the one we are looking for, fast enough, but I am afraid we are a bit too late." "Too late!" he exclaimed in a tone that I feared might be overheard. "What the mischief do you mean?" "I mean," I replied, "that M. Godin is already upon the scene." In the next ten seconds Maitland turned all colours and I edged nearer to him, expecting him to fall, but he did not.
I felt sure M. Godin had had a theory and that my testimony had not strengthened it, but he did not volunteer any information, neither did he take part in the conversation of his companions, and so my curiosity remained ungratified. It was clear that M. Godin's methods were very different from those of Osborne and Allen.
"One moment," said the magistrate. "What is your name?" "Alexander Godin," piped the photographer. "You live at the Hôtel des Étrangers on the Rue Racine?" "Yes, sir." "You are engaged to a young dressmaker who has a room near yours on the sixth floor?" "I was engaged to her," said Alexander sorrowfully, "but there's a medical student on the same floor and " "No matter.
M. LATOUR hesitated and shifted helplessly about as if he dreaded to go farther into these particulars, and fondly hoped someone might come to his rescue. His gaze seemed to shift about the room without in the least being able to disentangle itself from that of M. Godin. He remained silent and the question was repeated. Q. What did you use?
John and in the county of Gloucester, the Bellefontaines of the county of Kent, and the Bellefontaines and Beausejours of Anichat and other parts of Nova Scotia all have a common origin, and that in each case the real family name is Gaudin, or Godin. To any one conversant with the practice of the old French families of making frequent changes in their patryonymics this will not appear surprising.
That your search has been unavailing is due, not to any fault of yours, but rather to the consummate skill of the assassin, who, I think, we may conclude, is no ordinary criminal. I do not know much of the abilities of Messrs. Osborne and Allen, but I understand that M. Godin has the reputation of being the cleverest detective in America.
Godin was the son of an Iroquois hunter who had been brutally murdered by the Blackfeet. He had become a trapper of the Sublette brothers, then mighty men of the fur trade, and in the expedition of Milton Sublette against the Blackfeet in 1832 joined the troop. When the two bands met, Godin volunteered to hold a conference with the Blackfeet chief.
