As no one lived there but himself, Spatola looked and in the semi-darkness saw two men descending. He called and asked who they were, and Sagon's voice replied that it was he and a friend. They had gone up to have a talk and smoke a cigar with him; but seeing that he was not in, they had come down at once.
Morris has been spending at least part of his time with Spatola under an assumed name; they are known to have been very much engaged in some secret matter. Both visited Hume's on the night of the murder. An Italian purchased the weapon with which the deed was done. A German sentence was written in shorthand by Locke for his confederate.
The investigator settled back after giving the chauffeur his next stop. "Beyond a doubt," said he, "is rather an extreme expression. The fact that the bayonet was purchased by an Italian who gave his address as Christie Place is not enough to convict Spatola. All sorts of people live in that street, and there are perhaps other Italians among them." Pendleton called out to the chauffeur to stop.
One doesn't boast of the gifts of the gods. One merely accepts them, thankfully " "I was a fool " "Say rather, merely an animated biped, an instinct on legs. Is that a thing to be proud of for a man who knows what real ideals are?" "Don't " "Did you discuss Shakespeare and the musical glasses with 'Kid' Spatola?" "Please!" "Or the incorporeal nature of the soul with Battling Sagorski?" "Una!"
"I think," said he, "it would be best for us to first see Spatola himself, and ask a few questions. This might give us the proper point of view for the remainder." And so they once more got into the car; and away they sped toward the place where the violinist was confined.
To furnish good music, Spatola must have not only talent, but also a violin that was at least fairly good." "Yes, sir, I see that." "Having a violin that was at least fairly good, Spatola, being a poor man, would take care of it. He would carry it in a case he would especially do so in wet or damp weather. And it rained on the night of the murder.
The names of Osborne and Stillman figured largely in the types; but what interested the investigator most was a portrait of the musician the violinist, Antonio Spatola, and the story of his arrest. The pictured face was that of a young man with a great head of curling hair. The features were regular, the expression eager and appealing.
Pendleton looked at Ashton-Kirk admiringly; the manner in which his friend had established the fact that Spatola knew the German language seemed to him very clever. But Ashton-Kirk made no sign other than that of interest in the subject upon which they talked.
"He wasn't a bad-hearted young man," said the landlady, "but for all that I wish I'd never seen him. If I hadn't then I'd never had this disgrace come on me." Here she made another effort with the corner of her apron; but it was even more unsuccessful than the first. She gave it up and went on acidly. "Mr. Spatola came here almost three years ago.
I began a watch upon the reports of the Patent Office, thinking that that would finally give me something tangible to use against them. However, I never gave up my visits to Hume, or my efforts to make him admit possession of my father's property. "It was during one of these visits that I first met Spatola; and I was much struck by the performance of his cockatoos.
