CHAPTER VII.

Here 1 interrupt my narrative, to give an
account Of the remainder of the preliminary
inquiry, taken as before from the notes of the
judge of instruction. As explained before,
had access to these notes, or rather to a copy
of them, at later stage in the proceedings.
The first evidence taken on the second day
of the inquiry was that of the detective Of
icer Py. This officer made the following
statement: Having ascertained from the
papers Of the deceased Joseph Meissner that
ne was native Of the town Of Provins, and
possessed house property there had at once
proceeded to that town to make inquiries.
fad found that the Jewish family of
The Meissners was well known in Provins;
shat only two members Of it now survived,
namely, the murdered man, and nephew of
nis, named Girard; and that Girard was
student Of law in Paris. Struck by the coin
cidence Of the initial letter of this young
mans name with the letter on the wrist
stud found beside the body, and also
by the fact that the young man,
though in Paris, had not communicated with
the police on the news of his uncle's death be-
ing made public, had decided to follow up
this clew. Had found the young mans name
and address in the books of the Ecole de
Droit; had gone to his place of residence, No.
2S Rue Dauphine, late on the evening of
Wednesday, the 2Gth, and there had sur
prised Girard, in bed and asleep. Had found
at the wrist of his left shirt-sleeve an ivory
button with an initial G. on it, now pro-
duced; the button at the wrist of the other
sleeve was wanting. Had searched the
room, which was shared with Girard by an
oil lox orr f,to, IS I,
Marsal Had brought q" ay the papers be-
longing to Girard, consisting of notes on le-
gal subjects, drafts of newspaper articles. an
unfinished comedy and few letters. Had
arrested Girard on suspicion.

Q. Can you tell me what was the last oc-
casion on which You saw your uncle, Joseph
Meissners
A. The last occasion on which saw him
alive was almost exactly a year ago; it was
about the Christmas of last year.
Q. Why do you say the last occasion ON
which saw him aliveH Here Girard showed
some emotion, which he seemed to repress
with an effort.)
A Because I saw him again last Monday
night, when he was-Ilead.
