When the time comes with such men they are ready to furnish us the best "copy" in the world. Kennedy quickly rejoined us, carrying a couple of little glass bottles with ground-glass stoppers. Morowitch & Co. was, of course, closed when we arrived, but we had no trouble in being admitted by the Central Office man who had been detailed to lock the barn door after the horse was stolen.

"I like your professor of criminal science;" said Andrews to me, blowing a huge fragrant cloud of smoke. I, for my part, liked the vice-president. He was a man who seemed thoroughly to enjoy life, to have most of the good things, and a capacity for getting out of them all that was humanly possible. He seemed to be particularly enjoying this Morowitch case.

I merely moved my coat and hat, and the light from the furnace which was going to suffocate us played through the glass on the cell, the circuit was completed without your suspecting that I could communicate with friends outside, a bell was rung on the street, and here they are. Andrews, there is the murderer of Morowitch, and there in his hands are the Morowitch "

I'm frank to say that at first sight I thought it was a case of plain intoxication, for Mr. Morowitch sometimes indulged a little freely when he made a splendid deal. I smelled his breath, which was very feeble. It had a sickish sweet odour, but that did not impress me at the time. I applied my stethoscope to his lungs.

As we rose to go, the doctor shook hands with us. His last words were said with an air of great relief, "Gentlemen, I have eased my conscience considerably." As we parted for the night Kennedy faced Andrews. "You recall that you promised me one thing when I took up this case?" he asked. Andrews nodded. "Then take no steps until I tell you. Shadow Mrs. Morowitch and Mr.

Morowitch was in a weak enough condition to die as a result of the congestion produced by the gas after the traces of the cyanogen had been perhaps thrown off?" "That is precisely the impression which I wished to convey." "Might I ask whether in his semiconscious state he said anything that might at all serve as a clue?" "He talked ramblingly, incoherently.

"But what was the discovery?" "I don't know. I only heard Mr. Morowitch and Mr. Kahan refer to some deal about a discovery regarding diamonds." "Then Mr. Kahan knows about it?" "I presume so." "Thank you, Mrs. Morowitch," said Kennedy, when it was evident that she either could not or would not add anything to what she had said. "Pardon us for causing all this trouble."

Morowitch hesitated, either from ignorance or from a desire to evade the question. "A chemist, I think," she said doubtfully. "My husband had some dealings with him some discovery he was going to buy. I don't know anything about it. I thought the deal was off." "The deal?" "Really, Mr. Kennedy, you had better ask Mr. Kahan. My husband talked very, little to me about business affairs."

One of our men has seen Doctor Thornton, but has been able to get nothing out of him. Mrs. Morowitch was the only person with her, husband at the time." There was something in his tone that made me take particular note of this last fact, especially as he paused for an instant.

The doctor had just stepped out to see another patient when a hurry call was sent to him that Mr. Morowitch was rapidly sinking. He died before the doctor could return. No statement whatever concerning the cause of his sudden illness was made by Mr. Morowitch, and the death-certificate, a copy of which I have, gives pneumonia as the cause of death.
