Grounding this assumption on the current reports of the witness's manner and bearing since he had been placed under official surveillance, Margrave had commissioned the policeman Waby to make inquiries in the village to which the accuser asserted he had gone in quest of his relations, and Waby had there found persons who remembered to have heard that the two brothers named Walls lived less by the gains of the petty shop which they kept than by the proceeds of some property consigned to them as the nearest of kin to a lunatic who had once been tried for his life.
In the research he thus volunteered, he had asked for, and obtained, the assistance of the policeman Waby, who, grateful to me for saving the life of his sister, had expressed a strong desire to be employed in my service. Meanwhile, my most cruel assailant was my old college friend, Richard Strahan.

"Das Noel Waby's trap. Nobody else make-um tukpeel stick like dat," he said at last. Then I understood. Noel Waby had gone up river trapping in the spring, and had never come back; nor any word to tell how death met him. I stooped down to examine the trap with greater interest. On the underside of the fall-log I found some long hairs still clinging in the crevices of the rough bark.
Here his face became death-like; he pressed his hand on his heart, and shrieked out, "Away! away! or you are my murderer!" I retreated to the other end of the room, turning the wand from him, and when I gained the door, looked back; his convulsions had ceased, but he seemed locked in a profound swoon. I left the room, the house, paused by Waby; he was still sleeping. "Awake!"
This dialogue was interchanged in close hurried whisper behind the broken wall, and out of all hearing. Waby now crept through a wide gap into the inclosure, and nestled himself silently amidst the wrecks of the broken boat, not six feet from the open door, and close to the wall of the house itself. I went back some thirty yards up the road, to the rising ground which I had pointed out to him.

I was surprised to hear him address me by name, and looking at him more narrowly, I recognized him for the policeman Waby.
