Together we moved the laboratory table as he directed. There, in the floor, concealed by the shadow, he had placed the same apparatus which I had seen him bury in the path between the Pearcy and Minturn estates at Stratfield. We scarcely breathed. "This," he explained rapidly, "is what is known as a kinograph the invention of Professor HeleShaw of London.
Broadway, as well as Stratfield, had already woven a fantastic background, for the mystery and hints had been broadly made that Annette Oakleigh had been indiscreetly intimate with a young physician in the town, a Dr. Gunther, a friend, by the way, of Minturn.
"Yes, it was sent up to Stratfield to-day," replied the masseur, "but the coroner seems to want to worry me all he can." "Too bad. I was up almost all last night, and to-day I have been out in my car tired to death. Thought I might get some rest here. Where are you sending the boys to the Longacre?" "Yes. They'll take good care of you till I open up again. Hope to see you back again, then, Mr.
It was one of the most sensational stories I have ever fathered, beginning, "Latest of the victims of the unknown poisoner of whole families in Stratfield, Connecticut, is Miss Isabel Pearcy, whose father, Randall Pearcy, died last week." I knew that it was a "plant" of some kind, for so far he had discovered no evidence that Miss Pearcy had been affected.
"I got it up at Pearcy's," Kennedy replied frankly, turning to observe whether the druggist might betray any knowledge of it. "That's strange," he replied in genuine surprise.

Shelton took full "pastoral charge of the cure of Fairfield, including Stratfield and Weston, dividing his time equally between the three churches, with a salary of one hundred pounds per annum from the congregations and the use of what lands belonged to the cure."
Gunther of Stratfield." "Indeed?" remarked Kennedy colorlessly, though I could see that it interested him, for evidently Minturn had said nothing of being himself a sufferer from the poison. "May I see the bath?" "Surely," said Josephson, leading the way upstairs. It was an oaken tub with metal rods on the two long sides, from which depended prismatic carbon rods. Kennedy examined it closely.
"I have a theory," was all he would say, reaching for the railway guide, "but it will take me up to Stratfield to prove it." His plan gave us a little respite and we paused long enough to lunch, for which breathing space I was duly thankful.
It enables me to identify a person by his or her walk. Each of you as you entered this room has passed over this apparatus and has left a different mark on the paper which registers." For a moment he stopped, as if gathering strength for the final assault. "Until late this afternoon I had this kinograph secreted at a certain place in Stratfield.
At the gate, instead of turning toward the town, however, Kennedy went on and entered the grounds of the Minturn house next door. The lawyer, I had understood, was a widower and, though he lived in Stratfield only part of the time, still maintained his house there. We rang the bell and a middle-aged housekeeper answered. "I am from the water company," he began politely.
