"Now come! hasn't it struck you that something went before the death of old Daniel Multenius whether that death arose from premeditated murder, or from sudden assault? Eh? hasn't it?" "What, then?" asked the detective dubiously. "For I can't say that it has definitely. What do you conjecture did go before that?" Mr. Killick thumped his stout stick on the floor.

My mother nursed him through his illness and after he'd returned to London, he sent her those rings. And if there are marks on them," concluded Lauriston, "that correspond with marks on the rings in that tray, all I have to say is that those marks must have been there when Mr. Killick bought them! for they've never been out of our possession my mother's and mine until I took them to pawn."

His various listeners had heard all that the old solicitor had said, with evident interest and attention now, one of them voiced what all the rest was thinking. "What makes you think that, Mr. Killick?" asked the man from New Scotland Yard. "Why should Levendale and Purvis have been trapped?" Mr.

"The same initials!" "Just so!" agreed Mr. Killick. "That's what struck me Sam Levin: Spencer Levendale. Very well! I continue.

Edward Killick, a London solicitor, who, of course, will be able to identify them. As to the marks, I think you'll find a trade explanation of that those rings and the rings in Multenius's tray probably came from the same maker. Now, I find, on looking through the directory, that this Mr.

"Thomas Killick, died 1809, aged 1 month 1 day." A crown is usually the emblem of Victory, but held in the hand, as in this instance, it indicates, I am told, an innocent life.

Killick had lifted him into the conveyance, and he lifted him out. Dr. Shrapnel had not spoken a word. Lights were flaring on the river, illuminating the small craft sombrely. Men, women, and children crowded the hard and landing-places, the marshy banks and the decks of colliers and trawlers. Neither Killick nor Dr. Shrapnel questioned them.

Hard on nine o'clock in the December darkness, the night being still and clear, Jenny's babe was at her breast, and her ears were awake for the return of her husband. A man rang at the door of the house, and asked to see Dr. Shrapnel. This man was Killick, the Radical Sam of politics.
