When I told him that one of the clerks had copied the names for me from application slips, he informed me that if I would go back to her I would undoubtedly find she had taken the two last-mentioned names from the green slips used in applying for books for hall use, as neither J. Z. Weltz nor B. W. Rizzi was a card-holder.
"Your views in the matter," replied Maitland, "are precisely those which first occurred to me, and I am not sure but I should still hold them, had I been obliged to decide solely from the evidence I have submitted to you. It was clear to my mind from the first that some common purpose actuated both Weltz and Rizzi.
Q. M. Latour obtained some books from the Public Library for hall use, giving his name as as A. Weltz. Yes, they did assist me. There were some also taken under the name of Rizzi. Q. Exactly. Those are the names, I think. How was your attention called to these books? A. I met Latour at the library by accident, and he at once struck me as a man anxious to avoid observation.
A new leaven has entered our personality to dominate and direct it. The new advertisement duly appeared and on the next day, which was Wednesday I remember it because it was my hospital day I received several written answers, and among them, one in which I felt confident I recognised the peculiar z*'s and r*'s of Weltz and Rizzi. I took it at once to Maitland.
This I considered as a very promising discovery, so much so, indeed, that I gave up an engagement I had for the evening and decided to camp right there until the Library closed. Happily the books I had been consulting were still on the table. I picked out those borrowed under the names of Weltz and Rizzi, and began a most careful examination of them.
That's the last I ever see of M. Henri Cazot, and he handed the paper to me. I glanced at the signature. It was the same hand that had written 'Weltz' and 'Rizzi' upon the library slips. There was that unmistakable z and the peculiar r which had just attracted my attention!
Weltz and Rizzi. The reading of these men at once impressed me as having a purpose behind it. "I will read you a list of the books taken by Weltz and Rizzi, just to see what you will make out of it: WELTZ RIZZI I."Lecons de Toxicologic," 1."Traite de Toxicologic," par M. Orifia. par C. P. Galtier.
"Because I say to him only this, sir 'Other priest ask gentleman too much hope you not very dear too, sir; to which he say, 'You damn fool, I don't sell coins! Den I beg his pardon, and he ask me sharply, 'Who say I sell coins? 'Sir, I say, 'all the whole world say so. Den he say, 'D n all the whole world; and when any body tell you this again, say Abate Rizzi call him a d d fool, and say he may go to h-ll!!!" "Abate Rizzi!! why, that is the Professor of Eloquence to whom we were to be introduced yesterday."
This case of Rizzi is an enlightening one for the student of social conditions in New York, for Rizzi was no Orsini, not even a Guy Fawks, nor yet was he an outlaw in his own name. It is practically impossible to get inside the complicated emotions and motives that lead a man to become an understudy in dynamiting.
While she was collecting the slips I re-examined the list of books taken by Weltz and Rizzi, especially those which had been taken by both men. One thing at once struck my attention, and that was that most of these latter were large books which would take a long time to peruse and would require to be borrowed several times for hall use, were they to be examined with any care.
