"It was our hope," explained the yogi, calmly, "that Mr. Vaughan would assist us in spreading the Great Truth by endowing a monastery for us in this country." "Ah!" and Goldberger looked at him. "Did he agree to do so?" "He did," answered the yogi, still more calmly. "This estate was to have been given to us for that purpose, together with an endowment sufficient to maintain it. Mr.
Once he's out, everything will be serene again." I wasn't interested in Grady, so I came back to the case in hand. "Look here, Godfrey," I said, "if it wasn't poison, what was it?" "But it was poison." "Inserted at the hand?" He nodded. "Goldberger says there's no poison known which could be used that way and which would act so quickly."
"Something terrible to your father?" he asked. "Oh, no," she answered, quickly; "Mr. Swain would not have harmed my father, but father did not know what he was doing and might have harmed Mr. Swain." It was my turn to look at Goldberger. "After you left the arbour," I asked, "did you see Mr. Swain again?" "No, I did not see him again." "You went straight to the house?"
There was none at that time who could be spared; but six months ago, having completed a task which had occupied me in Paris, I was assigned to this." "Do you always go to so much trouble to secure converts?" questioned Goldberger, a little cynically. "Usually we require that the period of study be passed at one of our monasteries. But this case was exceptional." "In what way?"
I intended to inquire for them." At a sign from Goldberger, Simmonds opened a suit-case and placed a bundle on the table. Goldberger unrolled it and handed it to Swain. "Are these the clothes?" he asked. "Yes," said Swain, after a moment's examination. "Will you hold the shirt up so the jury can see it?" Swain held the garment up, and everybody's eyes were fixed upon the blood-soaked sleeve.
"I could put him under guard, of course," said Goldberger, pensively, "for I'm sure he'll prove to be a very important witness; but if you will be personally responsible for him, Mr. Lester...." "I will," I agreed, and Goldberger nodded. "Have him here at ten o'clock, then," he said. "Dr. Hinman would better see him again to-day," I suggested.
"Undoubtedly. Any one of them would be enough." Goldberger passed the photographs to the foreman of the jury, who looked at them vacantly. "And the other photographs?" he asked. "I got only two prints from the other robe," said Sylvester. "All but these were hopelessly smudged, as though the hand had moved while touching the garment." "You mean they were all made by one hand?" asked Goldberger.
We didn't have time to go all over the house. We did find one thing, though," he added, as if by an afterthought. "What was that?" "There's an adept in one of the rooms upstairs." Goldberger sat up and stared at him. "An adept?" he repeated. "What's that?" "An expert in mysticism. I judge that Vaughan was his pupil."
Lester and of another distinguished lawyer whose name I am not at liberty to reveal." Goldberger swallowed hard, as though he had received a slap in the face. I dare say, he felt as though he had! "This woman is in New York?" he asked. "I believe so." "What is her name and address?" "I am not at liberty to answer." Goldberger glared at him.
I sat bolt upright. "The Thug?" I echoed. "Didn't you get that far?" and Godfrey picked up one of the books and ran rapidly through the pages. "You remember we found him squatting on the floor with a rag and a tooth and a bone in front of him?" "Yes." "And do you remember how the yogi described them, when Goldberger asked him about them?" "Very distinctly he called them the attributes of Kali."
