"Any request you have to make is already granted." "Unless I can first interview the person who stands accused of the crime." "You can see Miss Langmore at any time. I told her that I was coming to town to interview you, and that I would bring you back with me, if you would come. I told her what a wonderful man you were and what you had done for others.
There was a short consultation at the front door and she heard the young man say: "He has a perfect right here and I demand admittance for us both." Then another murmur followed and the pair came upstairs. They knocked on the door of Margaret's room and were admitted, and Mrs. Morse was told that she might go. "This gentleman has come to give Miss Langmore some advice," said Raymond Case.
"You know well enough." "I am entirely in the dark. See here, is this a hold-up?" "Yes, for we are going to hold you up, you bloody villain," said the Englishman, with a chuckle. "Don't dare to resist, or it will be the worse for you," and he drew a pistol from his pocket. "But what does it mean?" "It means that I have found you out. You are the murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Langmore." "What!"
"They were, excepting when the doctor went out to make some calls, between nine and eleven." "Did they see any suspicious characters around the Langmore mansion?" "Not a soul." "Did Mary Billings, the servant, see anybody?" "She thinks she saw somebody near the river, but she is not sure; in fact, she is so scared that she is all mixed up.
Langmore was very dictatorial, and besides she loved her own children better than Mr. Langmore's." "Let me ask, was the daughter on good terms with her father?" "Yes, excepting on one point. He wished her to obey her stepmother and that she was not always willing to do. This brought on a run of petty quarrels which fairly made Margaret sick."
As he did so he thought of the bit of paper he had picked up in the shrubbery. He struck a match with one hand and held up the slip with the other. It was a memorandum, running as follows: $8,000 5,000 3,000 $16,000 .03% $480.00 Adam Adams studied the memorandum with interest. The amounts at the top were those of the mortgages given by Matlock Styles to Barry Langmore.
At a turn there was a cleared spot through the woods and a fair sight could be caught of the rear of the Langmore mansion and of the automobile shed. "Come here," he called to Cephas Carboy, and when the shiftless man had shuffled up, he continued: "You say you walked this way. When you got to this spot did you happen to look over to the Langmore house?" "I er I did." "What did you see?
"And what did Miss Margaret say to that?" "She said that all she wanted was to be left alone." "What else?" "Oi didn't hear anything more, as Oi wint to the ciller fer coal. By an' by Oi see Miss Margaret in the garden cryin'. Oi wanted to go to her, but Mrs. Langmore kim to the kitchen an' Oi had to attind to me wurruk." "How did Mrs. Langmore seem to appear when she came to the kitchen?"
Langmore said she wished Miss Margaret was off the face of the earth, an' that she'd be afther seein' that the dear girrul wasn't in the house much longer. 'Twas a very bitter scene, an' me heart wint out to the dear girrul " "And what did Miss Margaret reply to that?" "She said it was her father's house, an' she would stay as long as her father wished her to. An' it was her father's house, too."
During that time Margaret Langmore was in her room writing several letters, and was practicing on the piano in the parlor. The house is a large one, with sixteen rooms and several hallways and stairs." "Where was the servant?" "In the kitchen and out to the barn. There are two other girls, but one is in the hospital sick and the other was to town on an errand." "Where were Mr. and Mrs. Langmore?"
