But I want to hear the story from your own lips. Something may have slipped him, you know." "I will tell you everything. Please sit down." Margaret Langmore began her narrative. It was fully an hour before she finished. Occasionally the detective asked a question, but for the most part he sat back with his eyes closed, as if thinking of something else.
She took the bills back and gave me good money for them, and also gave me two hundred dollars more, to forward to my brother Dick, which I did, adding a hundred of my own." "Did your mother tell you anything more about the counterfeits?" "No." "Did you see Miss Langmore?" "I did not, nor did I see the servant. I was in a hurry, and so I came away as soon as my business was accomplished."
"If we want you we will call." "But I have orders " "Miss Langmore will remain in this room, so you have nothing to fear. She has a legal right to receive advice." "Oh, if the gentleman is a lawyer I have nothing to say," was the retort, and Mrs. Morse swept from the room. The instant she was gone, the young man closed the door and then rushed up to Margaret Langmore and kissed her.
"Wait! wait! You say Miss Margaret and Mrs. Langmore quarreled. When did they quarrel last?" At this question the domestic pursed up her lips and looked at Margaret. "Oi have nothin' to say about that," she answered coldly. This reply was a surprise to all, including Raymond. The coroner gazed at the witness sternly. "You must answer," he said.
I started out to find the murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Langmore. I thought I had a line on one fellow, but it would seem now that he can readily prove a complete alibi." "What do you want me to do?" "I want you to keep your eyes on certain people in and around this town, and especially on that Matlock Styles. If you see any indications of his running away, arrest him on the spot.
"But why not look for Miss Langmore instead?" At this Raymond's face grew troubled. "We have looked everywhere " he began. "As you please." It was not long after this that a portion of the party set out, to be followed presently by the rest.
I got the shoes from the house to make certain that some footprints on the bank of the brook had been made by Miss Langmore." "What about the shirtwaist?" "It was there when I came, and I left it there, as it did not seem to have much of a connection with the affair." "Do you think you had a right to tamper with the safe in the library?"
Number Four had never mentioned Barry Langmore when speaking of the members of the gang, and when questioned about the man, said he had known him by sight and that was all. Less than an hour after he had sent out the messenger, there came a knock on the door and Tom Ostrello presented himself. "You are the gentleman that wishes to see me?" he inquired.
No one had been seen around the place, and even the manner in which the foul deed had been committed was a secret. A score of possibilities presented themselves to his mind when he left Margaret Langmore and Raymond Case to begin the task he had set before himself to clear the fair name of the beautiful girl who had placed her faith in him and his ability.
Adams, can you not do something for me? It is horrible to be suspected in this fashion. I cannot make a move without being watched!" "It is certainly a cruel situation." The detective paused. "I am sure of one thing, Miss Langmore." "And that is " "That you are innocent. Those who think you are guilty are fools, as Mr. Case says." "Yet more than half the folks around here think that way."
