There was one other man whom he hated, and this other man was the prosecuting attorney who would conduct any case of murder that came up in the town of G . "Now John Siders is found murdered is found killed, in his lodgings, the morning after he has arranged things so that his antagonist, his rival in love, Albert Graumann, shall come under suspicion of having murdered him.
"What do you think about it yourself? Who do you think killed Siders?" "How can I know who it was? I only know it is not I," answered Graumann. "Did he have any enemies?" "No, none that I knew of, and he had few friends either." "You knew there was a sum of money missing from his rooms?"
Such is our will and pleasure. Given on the 23d of January, 1817, by the Generalissimus. Manu propria. The following dedication occurred to me of my new Sonata: "Sonata for the Pianoforte, or Hammer Clavier. Composed and dedicated to Frau Baronin Dorothea Ertmann née Graumann, by Ludwig van Beethoven." Hammer Clavier is certainly German, and so is the device. Honor to whom honor is due!
These men are Albert Graumann and the prosecuting attorney Gustav Schmidt, the man who once condemned me so cruelly. His present position would make him the representative of the state in a murder trial, and I know his opinions too well not to foresee that he would declare Graumann guilty because of the circumstantial evidence which will be against him.
No friend from elsewhere had ever visited him in Grunau, and he had made few friends there except the Graumann family. The facts of the case, as he knew them now, were such as to make it extremely doubtful that Graumann was the murderer.
The prisoner paused again and sat brooding, his eyes looking out into space. Muller respected his suffering and sat in equal silence, until Graumann raised his eyes to his again. "Then came the evening of the 23rd of September?" "Yes, that evening it's all like a dream to me." Graumann began again. "John wrote me a letter asking me to come to see him on that evening.
"If I were to say now what I think, I would say that John Siders deliberately took his own life and planned it in such a way as to cast suspicion upon Albert Graumann. But that would indeed be a terrible revenge. And I must have some tangible proof of it before any court will accept my belief. This proof must be hidden somewhere. The thing for me to do is to find it."
There was silence in the room, as the two men looked after the quaint little figure slowly descending the stairs. "A brave little woman," murmured the commissioner. "It is not only the mother in the flesh who knows what a mother's love is," added Muller. Next morning Joseph Muller stood in the cell of the prison in G confronting Albert Graumann, accused of the murder of John Siders.
You mean that the authorities are not convinced of my guilt, in spite of the evidence? You mean that they will give me the benefit of the doubt that they will give me a chance for life?" "Yes, that is the reason for my coming here. I am to take this case in hand. If you will talk freely to me, Mr. Graumann, I may be able to help you.
He told Graumann that he was going in search of evidence which might throw light on the death of Siders, and comforted the prisoner with the assurance that he, Muller, believed Graumann innocent, and believed also that within a day or two he would return to G with proofs that his belief was the right one. Three days later Muller returned to Grunau and went at once to the Graumann home.
