"I have no recollection of burning any envelope," said the other easily. "At any rate," T. X. went on, "when Mr. Lexman read this letter out to you..." "To which letter are you referring?" asked the other, with a lift of his eyebrows. "Mr. Lexman received a threatening letter," repeated T. X. patiently, "which he read out to you, and which was addressed to him by Vassalaro.
"And you said," suggested the other. "I nearly frightened his life out of him," said Mansus. "I said, 'I am a police officer and I want you to come along with me." "And of course he shut up and would not say another word," said T. X. "That's true, sir," said Mansus, "but after awhile I got him to talk. Vassalaro lived in Great James Street, 604, on the third floor.
"Look here, Kara," he said, suddenly, "don't think I want to reproach you, but it was through you that I met Vassalaro so that you know the kind of man he is." Kara nodded. "Well, I can tell you he has been very unpleasant indeed," said John, with a frown, "I had an interview with him yesterday in London and it is clear that he is going to make a lot of trouble.
When, on another occasion, Señor Almarez, the President of Cacura, had thrown a glass of wine in the face of his brother-in-law, Captain Vassalaro, Saul Arthur Mann had jumped into the market and beaten down all Cacura stocks, which were fairly high as a result of excellent crops and secure government.
I have told the man to leave everything as it is, and that we will come round." Ten minutes later the two officers were in the somewhat gloomy apartments which Vassalaro had occupied. The landlord explained that most of the furniture was his, but that there were certain articles which were the property of the deceased man.
I was rather ashamed of myself at meeting him at all under these conditions, but I was very keen on his not coming to the house for I was afraid it would upset Grace. What made it all the more ridiculous was this infernal pistol which was in my pocket banging against my side with every step I took as though to nudge me to an understanding of my folly." "Where did you meet Vassalaro?" asked T. X.
He was beside himself with anger and anxiety, otherwise I might have given the little blackguard the thrashing he deserved." Kara who had continued his stroll came down the room and halted in front of the fireplace looking at the young author with a paternal smile. "You don't understand Vassalaro," he said; "I repeat he is the greatest coward in the world.
We have in this diary alone sufficient evidence to convict him of three separate murders, one of which was committed in this country." T. X. looked his astonishment. "You will remember, Mr. Meredith, as I saw in one of your reports, that he had a chauffeur, a Greek named Poropulos." T. X. nodded. "He went to Greece on the day following the shooting of Vassalaro," he said.
Vassalaro had stayed with me and he wanted to pay whatever rent was due," replied the other. "What like of man was he?" asked T. X. The brief description the man gave sent a cold chill to the Commissioner's heart. "Kara for a ducat!" he said, and swore long and variously. "Cadogan Square," he ordered. His ring was answered promptly. Mr.
I promised him a substantial amount on account, but he grew worse and worse and then, suddenly, before I realised what he was doing, he was brandishing a revolver in my face and uttering the most extraordinary threats. Then it was I remembered Kara's warning." "Kara," said T. X. quickly. "A man I know and who was responsible for introducing me to Vassalaro. He is immensely wealthy."
