And I wos, though she swore awful, saying she wanted gin an' jellies, an' could 'ave 'ad them, if that limb so did she name Tray, gentlemen both 'ad only 'anded to 'er the rich brooch he brought 'ome, just afore he went to earn a decent livin' at the lawr orfice, which 'is name is Pash " "Ha," said Hurd, thoughtfully, "I'll see the boy." "You can see him now," said Beecot, unexpectedly.
Beecot met with his accident. Therefore, you could not have given the brooch to Mr. Pash the next morning, as it had been used on the previous night." "Sha'n't say anythin' more," retorted Tray, defiantly. "Oh, won't you?" cried Hurd, ironically, "we'll see about that. You told that lie about the time to account for your knowing of the murder before anyone else did."
"Be careful, Mr. Pash, I'll take down what you say." "I have nothing to conceal," said Pash, in quite an unnecessarily injured manner. "I had employed the boy on several errands, and he knew I was Norman's lawyer. On the evening of the sixth of July " "And the evening of the murder," said Hurd; "are you sure?" "I'll take my oath on it. The boy told me that Mr.
But what I came here to say is, that I intend to find out the assassin of Aaron Norman." "I can't offer you a reward, Hurd," said Paul, with a sigh. "Oh, that's all right. The widow, by the advice of Pash, has doubled the reward. One thousand pounds it is now worth winning, eh?" "Humph!" said Paul, moodily, "I shouldn't think she loved her husband so much as that."
When I recollected the brooch before I went home for I intended to take it with me " "Stop," interrupted Hurd, "you were here till Aaron Norman came along with the jewels, so you must have missed the brooch before he came or he would have taken it, seeing it was exposed on the table." "My esteemed client did not come till seven," said Pash, annoyed at being detected in trickery.
Bart could be heard knocking boxes together in the cellar, as he was getting Deborah's belongings ready for removal to Jubileetown, where the cottage, and the drying ground for the laundry, had already been secured through Pash. But Paul had no time to ask what was going on.
Before leaving town he took the precaution to call on Pash and note down a description of the sailor presumably Jessop who had tried to obtain possession of the jewels on the morning after the crime had been committed in Gwynne Street. He also had a scar running from his right temple to his mouth, and although this was partly concealed by a beard, yet it was distinctly visible.
One of the first people to call on Miss Norman was a dry, wizen monkey of a man, who announced himself as Jabez Pash, the solicitor of the deceased. He had, so he said, executed Aaron's legal business for years, and knew all his secrets. Yet, when questioned by the police, he could throw no light on the murder.
Tray, the boy, took it from Beecot's pocket when he met with that accident " "How do you know Tray?" "Because I met him at Pash's office several times when I was up. He ran errands for Pash before he became regularly employed. I saw that Tray was a devil, of whom I could make use. Oh, I know Tray, and I know also Hokar the Indian, who placed the sugar on the counter.
Joe Johnson took a bag of gold from inside his waist-band, hanging by a loop there, and held up a piece of five before the boy's bright eyes: "Yer, kid! That's yourn if you don't have no mother about it. Pike away with me, pig widgeon, an' find your boat, and I pay you this pash at sundown."
