Marcus Ivanovitch murdered?" stammered Olga Petrovna, and her broad face suddenly and instantaneously flushed bright scarlet. "I don't understand!" "I ask you in the name of the law! Where is Klausoff? We know all!" "Who told you?" Olga Petrovna asked in a low voice, unable to endure Dukovski's glance. "Be so good as to show us where he is!" "But how did you find out? Who told you?" "We know all!
His hands trembled and his eyes were full of terror. "Whom have I the honor of addressing?" asked the inspector. "Psyekoff, Lieutenant Klausoff's agent; agriculturist and mechanician!" The inspector and his deputy, on visiting the scene of the occurrence in company with Psyekoff, found the following: Near the wing in which Klausoff had lived was gathered a dense crowd.
"The safety match proves that to me, for the peasants hereabouts are not yet acquainted with safety matches. Only the landowners use them, and by no means all of them. And it is evident that there was not one murderer, but at least three." Two held him, while one killed him. Klausoff was strong, and the murderers must have known it! "What good would his strength be, supposing he was asleep?"
"I was in the servants' kitchen, lying behind the stove! They can all confirm it. How I got behind the stove I don't know " "Do not get agitated. Did you know Aquilina?" "There's nothing extraordinary about that " "She first liked you and then preferred Klausoff?" "Yes. Ephraim, give us some more mushrooms! Do you want some more tea, Eugraph Kuzmitch?"

The magistrate Nicholas Yermolaïyevitch was sitting in his office before a green table, turning over the papers of the "Klausoff case"; Dukovski was striding restlessly up and down, like a wolf in a cage. "You are convinced of the guilt of Nicholas and Psyekoff," he said, nervously plucking at his young beard. "Why will you not believe in the guilt of Maria Ivanovna?
You'll never guess! Olga Petrovna, Marcus Ivanovitch's wife his own wife that's who it is! She is the person who bought the matchbox!" "You you you are out of your mind!" "It's quite simple! To begin with, she smokes. Secondly, she was head and ears in love with Klausoff, even after he refused to live in the same house with her, because she was always scolding his head off.
And who's that other mug down there? Great snakes! It is the examining magistrate! What fate has brought him here?" Klausoff rushed down and threw his arms round Chubikoff in a cordial embrace. Olga Petrovna slipped through the door. "How did you come here? Let's have a drink, devil take it! Tra-ta-ti-to-tum let us drink! But who brought you here? How did you find out that I was here?

All these days you have denied that you had anything to do with the murder of Klausoff, in spite of all the proofs that testify against you. That is foolish. Confession will lighten your guilt. This is the last time I am going to talk to you. If you do not confess to-day, to-morrow it will be too late. Come, tell me all " "I know nothing about it.
