Speaker 1: Raaffus. I found it. I found a reagent which is
Speaker 1: precipitated by humor globan And by that year doctor Watson,
Speaker 1: mister Sherlock, home, how are you? How do you do
Speaker 1: You've been in Afghanistan? See how on earth do you
Speaker 1: know that, mister Holmes. Never mind it was many years ago,
Speaker 1: but I shall never forget that faithful meeting in the
Speaker 1: laboratory of Bath Hospital. I was home from India, invalided
Speaker 1: out of the army and looking for lodgings and keeping
Speaker 1: with my pencil homes. Had just found a suite of
Speaker 1: woman at number two to one B Baker Street, and
Speaker 1: wanted someone to show them I'd been worn. He might
Speaker 1: prove a strange companion, and so you didn't do. I
Speaker 1: became more and more curious about you, and of course
Speaker 1: he quickly noticed it. I to thought that these two
Speaker 1: weeks have not provedure that I'm too difficult to fellow
Speaker 1: larger after all, Far from it. I don't mind a
Speaker 1: getting you puzzle me, the puzzle you well, the way
Speaker 1: you work like a fiend. Sometimes and others who lie
Speaker 1: on the surfada have the uwering a word or moving
Speaker 1: a muscle from morning to night. And there are those
Speaker 1: curious visitors of yours in one afternoon, a gray headed
Speaker 1: CD fella looking like a peddler. They're an old, white
Speaker 1: haired gentleman, a fashion addressed young girl, and a railway porter,
Speaker 1: and that little fellow rat faced fellow as trade. We've
Speaker 1: been here three times in a single week. But I
Speaker 1: always apologize for putting you to any inconvenience in the
Speaker 1: matter of Boston. I have to use this room as
Speaker 1: a place of business, and these people are my clients.
Speaker 1: But what is you? No man, you don't inconvenience me
Speaker 1: at all. I'm only two. Please thank you, But tell
Speaker 1: me have your observations up here over these weeks reached
Speaker 1: any sum total year. You might think of a bit
Speaker 1: of a cheek, But I've I've been jotting down all
Speaker 1: the various points on which you've shown me that you're
Speaker 1: exceptionally well informed. No, indeed, I should much like to
Speaker 1: hear it, you would. I've got the paper here somewhere
Speaker 1: it is you won't mind, really all well, it runs
Speaker 1: this way. Sherlock Holm has limits one knowledge of literature
Speaker 1: nile two, knowledge of philosophy nil three, knowledge of astronomy
Speaker 1: no knowledge of politics people you go on. Knowledge of
Speaker 1: botany variable well up in belladonna, opumen, poisons generally, there's
Speaker 1: nothing in pactical gardening, yeah be knowledge of geology practical
Speaker 1: but limited. Tells of the glance different soils from each other.
Speaker 1: After Walks has shown me stashes one, it doses and
Speaker 1: tell me about the color and consistency. What part in
Speaker 1: London to receive them? Seven? Knowledge of chemistry profound. Eight
Speaker 1: knowledge of anathemy accurate but unsystematic. Nine. Knowledge of sensational
Speaker 1: literature immense, it tears. Know every detail of every horror
Speaker 1: perpetrated in the century. Ten phase of ale in well,
Speaker 1: thank you. Eleven is an expert single stick player, boxer
Speaker 1: and swordsman. Twelve is a good practical knowledge of British
Speaker 1: laws capital Well, i'd best I'd better provide you with
Speaker 1: the answer to it all. You see the theories of
Speaker 1: observation and deduction, which I have frequently expressed. You are
Speaker 1: really extremely practical, so practical that I depend upon them
Speaker 1: for my bread and cheese. But how well I have
Speaker 1: a trade of my own. I suppose I'm the only
Speaker 1: one in the world. I'm a consulting detective consulting to tick.
Speaker 1: Here in London we have lots of government detectives and
Speaker 1: lots of private ones. When these fellows are at fault,
Speaker 1: they come to me and I managed to put them
Speaker 1: on the right sense. Les Trade is a well known detective.
Speaker 1: He got himself into a fog recently over a forgery case,
Speaker 1: and that was what brought him here. I see, and
Speaker 1: these other people, oh, they are most present on by
Speaker 1: private inquiry agencies. I listen to their story, they listen
Speaker 1: to my comments, and then I pocket my seat. But
Speaker 1: do you mean to say that without leaving your room
Speaker 1: you can unravel some lot that other men can make
Speaker 1: nothing off. I have a kind of intuition that way
Speaker 1: observation will be a second nature. You appear to be
Speaker 1: surprised when I told you on our first meeting that
Speaker 1: you had come from Afghanistan too. My train of reasoning
Speaker 1: ran thus, the air is a gentleman of a medical type,
Speaker 1: but with the air of a military man, clearly an
Speaker 1: army doctor. Then he's just come from the tropics. For
Speaker 1: his face is dark, and that's not the natural tindery
Speaker 1: skin for his wrist that's there. Oh, he's undergone hardship
Speaker 1: and sickness, as his haggard face says clearly his left
Speaker 1: arm has been injured. He holds it in a stiff
Speaker 1: and unnatural manner. Now where in the tropics could an
Speaker 1: English army doctor seem much hardship and got his arm wounded?
Speaker 1: Clearly in Afghanistan. The whole train of thought didn't occupy
Speaker 1: a second. It's simple enough that you explain it. But homes,
Speaker 1: I don't really think that. I say, Hm, that's Pelado
Speaker 1: on sees. I wonder what he's looking for. Oh, you
Speaker 1: mean the retired pageant of marine. Oh, now that really
Speaker 1: is going too fast. Well, we shall soon see. He's
Speaker 1: coming to our door. You know that probably is one
Speaker 1: from that. There are no crimes and no criminals these days.
Speaker 1: What's the use of having brains in our professions? I
Speaker 1: know well that I have it in me to make
Speaker 1: my name famous. No man lives or has ever lived,
Speaker 1: who had brought the same amount of study of natural
Speaker 1: talent for the detection of crime which I have done.
Speaker 1: And what's the result. There is no crime to detect
Speaker 1: or of most some bungling villany were a MOSTI so
Speaker 1: transparent that even a Scotland yard official conceit through it
Speaker 1: a person to see you. Oh, thank you, missus Hudson,
Speaker 1: come in, let it bore hand for mister Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: Thank you. May I ask my good man what your
Speaker 1: trade may be A commissioner answer uniformer wiper repairs, and
Speaker 1: you will answer raw. Marie nodded, Patersa. No one could
Speaker 1: I get went for that? Which, Now, how in the
Speaker 1: world did you deduce that? Why? Even when he bet
Speaker 1: down in the street, I could see a great blue
Speaker 1: anchor tattooed on the back of the fellow's hands. That's
Speaker 1: not to the sea. He had a military carriage, however,
Speaker 1: and regulation side wiskn there we have the marine. He
Speaker 1: was a man with some amount of self importance in
Speaker 1: a sertain air of command. You must have observed the
Speaker 1: way in which he held his head and sprung his cane.
Speaker 1: A steady, respectable middle aged man too on the face
Speaker 1: of him, all facts which led me to believe that
Speaker 1: he had been a sergeant commonplace. Oh but I said
Speaker 1: just now that there were no criminals right who. It
Speaker 1: appears that I am wrong? If it is, would you
Speaker 1: mind reading it to be alive? My d mister Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: There has been a bad business during the night that
Speaker 1: three Lorriston Gardens off the Brixton Road. Men on the
Speaker 1: beach saw light there about two in the morning, and
Speaker 1: as the house was an empty one suspected that something
Speaker 1: was ah. It was a miss. He found the door
Speaker 1: open and in the front room discovered the body of
Speaker 1: a gentleman, well dressed and having cards in his pockets
Speaker 1: bearing the name of Enoch J. Dribber, Cleveland or High USA.
Speaker 1: There had been no robbery or is there any evidence
Speaker 1: as to how the man met his death. The remarks
Speaker 1: of blood in the room, but there's no wound upon
Speaker 1: his person. We are at a loss as to how
Speaker 1: he came into the empty house and heed. The whole
Speaker 1: of thows a puzzler. If you can come round to
Speaker 1: the house anytime before twelve you'll find me there. Your
Speaker 1: faithfully to bas Gregson. Gregsmon is the smartest of the
Speaker 1: Scotland yadas. He and less trade at the pick of
Speaker 1: a bad lot. They had their knife into one another,
Speaker 1: too jealous as a pair of professional beauties. There would
Speaker 1: be some fun over this case of the boat put
Speaker 1: upon the said fully, there isn't a moment to be lost,
Speaker 1: So I go on order you a cab, My dear fellow,
Speaker 1: what does it matter to me? Supposing I unravel the
Speaker 1: whole matter? You may be sure that gregsmon Less Trade
Speaker 1: and Co. Will pocket all the credit he beg you
Speaker 1: to help him. He knows that I'm his superior and
Speaker 1: acknowledges it to me. But he'd cut his tongue out
Speaker 1: before he'd only twenty third person. However, we may as
Speaker 1: well go and have a look. I shall work it
Speaker 1: out on my own hook. I may have a laugh
Speaker 1: at the b I have nothing else. Come on, get
Speaker 1: your hat you you wish me to come? Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you have nothing better, leady, yeah, right, gimm it up.
Speaker 1: I must say, you don't think you've been doing much
Speaker 1: thought the matter in him, all that talking to Cab
Speaker 1: about Promona Siddils and the difference between the Stadivarius and market.
Speaker 1: No data yet, it's the capital the stata theorized before
Speaker 1: you have all the evidence. Well, I'll have your data soon,
Speaker 1: aren't we go? In all in good time? Watson, Let's
Speaker 1: start to observe such a important details as the roadway
Speaker 1: mm hm, the pavement m and the grass tringe. Ah, yes,
Speaker 1: that is interesting, mister Holmes. It's very kind of good
Speaker 1: to come, Inspector Gregson. This is my friend, doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: I've had everything they've untouched except the past day after
Speaker 1: the house. Huh. If I heard of buffalo and passed along,
Speaker 1: there couldn't be a greater mess, no doubt. However, you
Speaker 1: had drawn your own conclusions before you permitted it. I've
Speaker 1: had so much to do inside the house with homes.
Speaker 1: My colleague, mister lest Trade is here. I relied upon
Speaker 1: him to look after the path. With two such men
Speaker 1: as yourself and as Trade upon the ground, there will
Speaker 1: not be much for a third party to find out. Well,
Speaker 1: I think we've done all that can be done. It's
Speaker 1: a queer case. So and well, I know your taste
Speaker 1: for those things. Did you come hear in the cab, Gregson?
Speaker 1: Did less trade? Nosa and let us go and look
Speaker 1: at the room. Ah, good morning, good morning, mistrade. I
Speaker 1: think you've met that about something. Of course, it's your room, stir.
Speaker 1: Don't this case will make a source. It's anything I've seen,
Speaker 1: and I'm no chicken. You found no clue none at all.
Speaker 1: Your shirt there is no wound, but as patches of
Speaker 1: blood all over the place, no part of it. And
Speaker 1: of course this blood belongs to the second individual, because
Speaker 1: you would be as a murderer if murder has been committed.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the circumstances dependent on the death
Speaker 1: of Van Jansen. A new trek. You remember the case
Speaker 1: trap a Loser? Read it up, you really should. There's
Speaker 1: nothing new under the fund. It's all been done before.
Speaker 1: You want to examine the body. So yes, it's just
Speaker 1: a quick look, I think, yeah, loose m Well that
Speaker 1: seems to be all. Just to sniff at his lips
Speaker 1: and the glance at the soles of these patent leather boots.
Speaker 1: M hm, yeah, well, I think I've seen everything I
Speaker 1: need to see. He's not being moved at all. No
Speaker 1: more of them was necessarily for the purposes of our examination.
Speaker 1: Then you can take into the mortuary. There's nothing more
Speaker 1: to be learned, right, Look at this clitter? Hellone, what's
Speaker 1: that work? It's a ring? There's been a woman here?
Speaker 1: Wait's a woman's waiting ring. Well, this does complicate members,
Speaker 1: even though they were complicated enough before. Yeah, sure, it
Speaker 1: doesn't simplify them. Simplify more. Eyes didn't game Away said,
Speaker 1: come come, there's nothing to be learned by tearing at
Speaker 1: the ring. But did you find it this puppet? Go
Speaker 1: watch and shame go ring with a Masonic device, Go
Speaker 1: pin bullo on his head with the movies and eyes
Speaker 1: cards of Enoch J. Grebber of Cleveland, corresponding with the
Speaker 1: EJ D. Upon the linen, No purse but loose money
Speaker 1: to the extent of seven pounds thirteen shillings, oh and
Speaker 1: two rappers, one addressed to J. Drebber and one to
Speaker 1: Joseph Stangerson at what a dreaded American Exchange trand to
Speaker 1: be left till called for. They are both from the
Speaker 1: Guion Steamship Company and refer to the sailing of their
Speaker 1: boats from Liverpool to New York. Have you made any
Speaker 1: inquiries as to this man Stangerson? I did it once their.
Speaker 1: I've had advancements sent to all the newspapers, and one
Speaker 1: of my men has gone to the American Exchange, but
Speaker 1: he has not yet returned. Have you sent to Cleveland?
Speaker 1: Did anywhere this morning? How did you word your inquiries?
Speaker 1: We simply detailed the circumstances and said that we should
Speaker 1: be cleared of any information that could help us. He
Speaker 1: didn't out put particulars on any point of which appear
Speaker 1: to you to be crucial by us about Stangerson? Nothing else?
Speaker 1: Is there a circustance upon which this pope it appears
Speaker 1: to hinge? Will you not telegraph again? I've said all
Speaker 1: I had to say, mister Holmes Smithtic Maxon. I have
Speaker 1: just made a discovery of the highest importance, and one
Speaker 1: which would have been overlooked and I not made a
Speaker 1: careful examination of the walls. Oh, mister Leslade, and what
Speaker 1: is it? Look here on this wall. I'll stand there,
Speaker 1: I'll strike a match. Look at that? What did it say?
Speaker 1: Come glad? See r A c h E rate. Why
Speaker 1: do you think of that? The merger has written it
Speaker 1: with his or her own blood? You see this smell
Speaker 1: where it strickled down the wall. That disposes of the
Speaker 1: idea of suicide? Anyhow, Hey, why was that corner chosen
Speaker 1: to write it down? I'll tell you you see that
Speaker 1: camera on the mantelpiece. It was lit at the time,
Speaker 1: and if it was lit, this corner would be the
Speaker 1: brightest instead of the darkest portion of the wall. What
Speaker 1: does it mean then you have found it? Why? It
Speaker 1: means that the writer was going to put the female
Speaker 1: name Rachel, but was disturbed before he or she had
Speaker 1: tried to finish you marked thy words. When this case
Speaker 1: comes to be clear up, you will find that a
Speaker 1: woman made Way something to do with it. Oh, I
Speaker 1: will for you all laugh as I shall homes. You
Speaker 1: may be very smarting for us, but the old round
Speaker 1: is the best one, all cut and done. So I
Speaker 1: really beg your pardon to say you certainly have the
Speaker 1: credit of being the first of it to find the fire.
Speaker 1: And as you say, there's a remark of having been
Speaker 1: written by the other participant in the last time's mystery.
Speaker 1: I have not had time to examine this room yet,
Speaker 1: but with your permission, I shall do so. Now, Now
Speaker 1: where's my lemb there? I think that will do twenty
Speaker 1: two minutes. That's a humor. Zones are to the spread
Speaker 1: of the trouble and vibe. They say the genius is
Speaker 1: an infinite capacity for taking pains. It's a very bad definition,
Speaker 1: but it does apply to detective Way. What do you
Speaker 1: think of itself? Oh, it would be robbing you of
Speaker 1: the credit of the case if I were to presumed
Speaker 1: to help you. You're doing so well now that it
Speaker 1: would be a pity for anyone to d this here.
Speaker 1: If you let me know how your investigations go, I
Speaker 1: for they happy to give you any help I can.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, I should like to speak to the
Speaker 1: constable who found the body. Is he here? No, he's
Speaker 1: off guilty Now then can you give me his name
Speaker 1: and address? Yes, sir, his name is John Ratzon. You'll
Speaker 1: find him at forty six Ordly fourt, Kennington Park Gate,
Speaker 1: Kennington Far Gate. Thank you, Come along, doctor, we shall
Speaker 1: go and look him up. Oh gentlemen, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: one thing which may help you in the case. What's denser.
Speaker 1: There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man.
Speaker 1: He was more than six feet high, was in the
Speaker 1: prime of life, had small feet for his height, wore coarse,
Speaker 1: square flat boots, and smoked a kitchen up lay cigar.
Speaker 1: He came here with his victim in a four wheeled
Speaker 1: cab which was drawn by a horse. For three old
Speaker 1: shoes and one new one on his off fore leg.
Speaker 1: In all probability of the murderer had a florid face,
Speaker 1: and the fingernails of his right hand were amostly long.
Speaker 1: These are only a few indications, but then nailsstrue. A
Speaker 1: business man was murdered. How was it done? Poison? One
Speaker 1: other thingles straight. We don't waste your time looking for
Speaker 1: miss Rachel Rache is the German for revenge. Come along, doctor,
Speaker 1: I have a telegram to send. I'm coming home. Now
Speaker 1: that I have sent my telegram, we can go and
Speaker 1: see this Constable John Rence. You can, he'll be able
Speaker 1: to help us. There's nothing like first tand evidence. The
Speaker 1: matter to take my mind is entirely made up on
Speaker 1: the case. But still we may as well learn all
Speaker 1: that is we learn. Yes, you amazing hopes, only you're
Speaker 1: not as sure as you pretend to be. Of all
Speaker 1: as particular as you gave. There's no room from stay.
Speaker 1: The very first thing which I observed on the riding
Speaker 1: there was that a cab had made two rufts with
Speaker 1: its fields close to the curb. Now, up to last night,
Speaker 1: we've had no rain for a week, so that those
Speaker 1: fields which left such a deep impression must have been
Speaker 1: dead during the night. There were the marks of the
Speaker 1: horses hoofs too, the outline of one of which was
Speaker 1: far more clearly cut than that of the other three,
Speaker 1: showing that that was a new shoe. Since the cab
Speaker 1: was there after the rain began, and was not there
Speaker 1: at any time during the morning, I have Gregson's word
Speaker 1: for that. It follows that it must have been there
Speaker 1: during the night, and therefore that it brought those two
Speaker 1: individuals to the house. Well, that seems simple enough, But
Speaker 1: how about the other man's fight. Why the height of
Speaker 1: a man, in nine cases out of ten, can be
Speaker 1: told by the length of his tribe. It's a simple
Speaker 1: calcuation enough, though, There's no use my boring you with figures.
Speaker 1: I had this fellow's tribe both on the clay outside
Speaker 1: and on the dust within. Then I had a way
Speaker 1: of checking my calculations. When a man writes on a wall,
Speaker 1: it instinct leads him to write about the level of
Speaker 1: his own eyes. Now that writing was just over six
Speaker 1: feet from the ground. There's childless any age. Well, if
Speaker 1: a man can stride form a half feet without the
Speaker 1: smallest effort, he calp it fight in the sere and yellow.
Speaker 1: This was the breadth of a puddle on the garden
Speaker 1: path that she had evidently walked across. Patent leather boots
Speaker 1: had gone round, and square toes had stepped over. There's
Speaker 1: no mystery about it at all. I'm simply applying to
Speaker 1: ordinary life a few of those precepts of observation and
Speaker 1: deduction which I advocated in the arcicle Santariga. Is there
Speaker 1: anything else that posed you well? The finger nails and
Speaker 1: the trichinopolis have gone. The writing on the wall was
Speaker 1: done with a man's forefinger dipped in blood. My glass
Speaker 1: allowed me to observe that the plaster was slightly scratched
Speaker 1: in doing it, which would not have been the case
Speaker 1: had the man's nail been trimmed. M I gathered up
Speaker 1: some scattered ash from the floor. It was dark in
Speaker 1: color and flaky, such an ash as is only made
Speaker 1: by a prechernotoly. I did a special study a cigar ashes,
Speaker 1: in that I've written a monograph upon the subject. Here
Speaker 1: I flatter myself that I can distinguish at a glance
Speaker 1: the ash of any known brand, either of a cigar
Speaker 1: or tobacco. It's just in such details. But the skills
Speaker 1: detective differs from the grapesmoonless trade type and the florid face. Then, ah,
Speaker 1: that was a more daring shot. Though I have no
Speaker 1: doubt that I was writing. You mustn't ask me that
Speaker 1: the present state of the affairs. My head's in a whirl.
Speaker 1: The more one thinks it, the more mysterious it grows.
Speaker 1: How came these two men? If they were two men
Speaker 1: into an empty house? How could one man compel another
Speaker 1: to take poison? Where did the blood come from? What
Speaker 1: was the object of the murderer? Since robbery had no party?
Speaker 1: How came the woman's ring? There? And above? Why should
Speaker 1: the second man right up the German word racha before
Speaker 1: DECAMPI I confess, and I can't see any possible way
Speaker 1: of reconciling all these facts. You're some up. The difficulties
Speaker 1: of the situation sucked simply and well, Watson, there is
Speaker 1: much that is still obscure, though I've quite made up
Speaker 1: my mind on the main facts to poor illustrated. The
Speaker 1: discovery was simply a blind intended to put the police
Speaker 1: upon a wrong track by suggesting socialism and seek his societies.
Speaker 1: It was not done by a German. Oh, if you
Speaker 1: notice the A was printed somewhat after the German fashion.
Speaker 1: Now a real German, invariably Prince sim the Latin character.
Speaker 1: Since we may safely say that this was not written
Speaker 1: by one but by a clumsy imitator who overdid his party.
Speaker 1: Or no, there's simply a ruse to divert inquiry into
Speaker 1: a wrong channel. I'm not saying to tell you much
Speaker 1: more of the case. Doctor. You know, a tanjurer gets
Speaker 1: no credit. But once he's explained his tricky and if
Speaker 1: I show you too much of my method of working,
Speaker 1: you will come to the inclusion that I'm a very
Speaker 1: ordinary individual. After room, never do that. You have brought
Speaker 1: detectionists near to an exact science as it ever will
Speaker 1: be brought in this world. I'll tell you one other thing.
Speaker 1: Patent letters and square toes came in the same cab.
Speaker 1: When they walked down the pathway together as friendly as possible,
Speaker 1: whilem in arm in all probability. When they got inside,
Speaker 1: they walked up and down the room or other patent
Speaker 1: letters could still while square toes walked up and down.
Speaker 1: I could read all that in the dust, and I
Speaker 1: could read that as he walked. He grew more and
Speaker 1: more excited. That's shown by the increased length of his tribe.
Speaker 1: He was talking all the pile and working himself up
Speaker 1: now out into a fury. Then the tragedy occurred. Well,
Speaker 1: I told you all I know myself, for the rest
Speaker 1: is mere surmise and conjecture. We have a good working basis, however,
Speaker 1: with the stars and now we met Parry for I
Speaker 1: particularly want to visit comfortable rents and let's go find
Speaker 1: a cab. Yes, what is it? You are Constable John
Speaker 1: Wren Well of it? He wants to know. My name
Speaker 1: is chellas infect on less trade that I can find
Speaker 1: you here. It's about the business at Larston Gardens, Brixton Road,
Speaker 1: b by report at the office. Come a man, get
Speaker 1: a bit of rest when it's off duty. We we
Speaker 1: thought that we should like to hear it all from
Speaker 1: your own lips. Well, I shall be most happy to
Speaker 1: tell you anything I can. It's coming you sut you're
Speaker 1: down on the now? What was it? Just let us
Speaker 1: hear it all in your own where is it? As?
Speaker 1: Very well? My time is from ten at night till
Speaker 1: six in the morning. At eleven there was a fight
Speaker 1: at the White Hart, but bar that wall was quiet
Speaker 1: enough on the beach, but one o'clock it began to rain.
Speaker 1: I met Barry March sure as the Holland Grove. We
Speaker 1: stood together at the corner of Henrietta Street. Are talking
Speaker 1: well presently maybe about two a little laughter, I thought
Speaker 1: I'd take a look around and see that all was
Speaker 1: right down the Brixton Road. It was precious, dirty and lonely,
Speaker 1: not a soul, and I'll meet all the way down.
Speaker 1: Though the caver two went past me. I was strolling
Speaker 1: down and thinking between ourselves our uncommon handy afford us
Speaker 1: do not would be when when suddenly the glint of
Speaker 1: the light caught my eye in the window of that
Speaker 1: same house, I knew that them two hourses in Morriston
Speaker 1: Garden was empty one account of him that ow't and
Speaker 1: won't have the drains seemed to though the very last
Speaker 1: tenant that lived in one of them died a typhoid fever.
Speaker 1: So I was not tall in heat, but seeing a
Speaker 1: light in the window, and I suspected that something was wrong.
Speaker 1: When I got to the door, I felt and then
Speaker 1: walked back to the garden gate. What did you do? That?
Speaker 1: That's true, sir? I did, though, Oh you come to
Speaker 1: know it haven't only knows what you watching? None they
Speaker 1: go on answer my question, wit me get your see.
Speaker 1: When I got up to the door, it was so
Speaker 1: still and so lonesome that I thought I've belong the
Speaker 1: worst for some one with me. I ain't afeared of
Speaker 1: anything on this side of the grave, but I thought
Speaker 1: that maybe it was him that died of the typhoid.
Speaker 1: Inspecting the drains what killed him? Sure thought gave me
Speaker 1: that kind of turn. And I walked back to the
Speaker 1: gate to see if I could see merchants lentn That
Speaker 1: was no sign of him, nor of anyone else. There
Speaker 1: was no one in the seat, not a living sorcerer.
Speaker 1: Pulled myself together, went back and pushed the door up.
Speaker 1: Who was quiet inside? So I went into the room
Speaker 1: where the light was a burning. There was a candle
Speaker 1: flickering on the mental fiece, a red wax one light side. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know all that you saw. You walked round the
Speaker 1: room several times, and you knelt down by the body,
Speaker 1: and then you walked through and tried the kitchen door.
Speaker 1: And then where would you hit to see all that?
Speaker 1: Seems to me that you that was a good deal.
Speaker 1: Moan your short arm. Here's my card. No, don't get
