Halfpenny wants to speak to you." Barthorpe had already half turned to the door. He turned back then turned again. "Mr. Halfpenny can only want to speak to me on business," he said, coldly. "If Mr. Halfpenny wants to speak to me on business, he knows where to find me." He had already laid a hand on the door when Mr. Halfpenny spoke sharply and sternly. "Mr. Barthorpe Herapath!" he said.
But he's been waiting his chance ever since; and when I was out of the study this evening, he came in, and gave it hot to Herapath. When I got back, Arthur was about done, and then Felgate turned on me. If I'd been bigger, I could have got a stroke or two in at his face; but I couldn't do it. I barked his shins though, and gave him one on the neck with my left. So he didn't get it all his own way.
"Never!" replied Selwood. "Never heard the man's name until yesterday never saw any letters from him, never heard Mr. Herapath mention him. But then, as Mr. Halfpenny said, yesterday, Mr. Herapath had all sorts of queer dealings with queer people. It's a fact that he used to buy and sell all sorts of things curios, pictures, precious stones he'd all sorts of irons in the fire.
Herapath by sight, then?" "No, sir. I've only just come into this part came for the first time yesterday. But I'm as certain " "Just tell us all about it," said Mr. Tertius, interrupting him. "Tell us in your own way. Everything, you know." "Ain't so much to tell, sir," responded the driver.
"Just so just so!" said Mr. Tertius. "I quite apprehend you. All the same, I think we will see what is put before the coroner. Now, what point suggests itself to you, Cox-Raythwaite?" "One in particular," answered the Professor. "Whatever medical evidence is called ought to show without reasonable doubt what time Herapath actually met his death." "Quite so," said Mr. Tertius gravely.
I sat up rather late when I got home that night, and I lay in bed next day until afternoon in fact, I'd only just risen when Barthorpe Herapath called on me at three o'clock. Now, as I don't have papers delivered, but go out to buy what I want, it's the fact that I never heard of Jacob Herapath's murder until Barthorpe told me of it, then! That's the truth.
Was it that man who sits by you Burchill? For Burchill knows that he has lied vilely and shamelessly this morning Burchill knows that he did see Jacob Herapath sign that will Burchill knows that that will was duly witnessed by himself and by me in the presence of each other and of the testator! God bless my soul!" exclaimed Mr. Tertius, thumping the table vehemently.
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.
"Those kids are getting a drop too much," said Dig. "They've no more respect for their betters than Smiley has. What's this precious letter?" The letter was addressed to "Messrs. Herapath and Oakshott," and was signed by Wake of the Fifth, although written in the inelegant hand of Master Jukes the Baby. "`Central Criminal Court, Grandcourt.
Well, about myself you will all remember that at both the coroner's inquest and at the proceedings before the magistrate at which Barthorpe Herapath was present and I for reasons well known! was not, there was mention made of a letter which I had written to Jacob Herapath and was subsequently found in Barthorpe's possession, on his arrest.
