Doctor von Riedau's own face glowed in a slowly mounting flush, and his eyes drooped in a moment of conscious embarrassment at some recollection, the sting of which was evidently made worse by Muller's presence. But Commissioner von Riedau had brains enough to acknowledge his mistakes and to learn from them. He looked across the desk at Miss Graumann.
And did he have it with him on the day of the murder?" "Yes, sir; he had a purse, and he must have taken it with him because he didn't leave it in his room." "What sort of a purse was it?" "A brown leather purse, sir." "Was it a new one?" "Oh, no, sir; it was well worn." "How big was it? About like mine?" Riedau took out his own pocketbook. "No, sir; it was a little smaller.
The facts gained in the examination were impressed upon his mind while he was writing them, and he did not have to wade through pages of manuscript to get at what he needed. Now he handed his superior officer the paper. "Thank you," said Riedau, "I'll send it out to the other police stations. I will attend to this myself. You go on with these people to see whether they can identify the corpse."
It had three pockets in it. I mended it for him once, so I know it well. I didn't have any brown thread so I mended it with yellow." Dr. von Riedau nodded to Muller. The latter had been sitting at a little side-table writing down the questions and answers. When Riedau saw this he did not send for a clerk to do the work, for Muller preferred to attend to such matters himself as much as possible.
Riedau had not even changed colour, and he said calmly: "Oh, never mind, Muller; sit down again. The man had handcuffs on and he is quite quiet now. I think he has sense enough to see that he is only harming himself by his violence." The commissioner returned to his desk and Muller went back to his chair by the window.
Riedau turned to Bormann and continued: "And because it is of no interest to us where his money came from for it can have nothing whatever to do with his murder and the subsequent robbery therefore what you noticed of his behaviour cannot be of any importance or bearing in the case in any way. Unless, indeed, you should find out anything more.
