jotting down of facts which it was In
portant for him to remember. If you
dear reader, could have deciphered tn
hastily scrawled pages preceding tn
entry upon which he was now engaged
you would have found them to reat
thus:
ssMonday.-W Was in court this morn
ing for the first time since the Dunlsirl
will case was called Found things il
statu quo. Hopkins and Shepherd botf
out of town. Possibly after that missing
witness who still continues non est In
ventus. Suspect she's myth. Hunter
and Ketchum both jubilant. Say they
are sure of winning. Hope they will;
credit Of the Office at stake. Thus fas'
no trace of that missing niece. Query:
Is she myth, too?
Tuesday. Startling developments il
the Dunkirk case to-day. Win proven
to be a forgery. Hopkins and Shep
herd evidently had no hand in it. They
were both considerably taken aback
when this fact was established by the
experts, and they telegraphed at once
to the claimants confidential legal adj
viser-odd that never happened to
hear him spoken of by name Ito find
out what it all means. In my opinion
they would better send detective after
him. I'll stake my last cigar (the one
l smoked last, l mean) that the fair
claimant and her confidential legal adj
yiser-who, by the way, has wisely
kept at safe distance from New York
<]vlr~lr
be the persons who forged that docu-
ment. Hunter and Ketchum are still
advertising for information concerning
Annie Dupont, the niece and sole heir
at law. No result thus far Mean
while, there is a fine little case of
forgery to be investigated. Already the
inside theories are being woven, and, if
mistake not, there will be some inter
esting developments in the case before
many days.
Wednesday = Here's state of
thingsl Hunter and Ketchum have
to-day received communication from
a man calling himself Dennis O'Reilly |
doesn't that SAVIOR of the Emerald isle?) |
living in x, city of considerable |
in the wild west, who-the |
Irishman, 1 mean-claims to be in pos
session OF facts that will lead to the dis
covery and Identification of Annie Du-
pont For my part / have no faith in
the story; but 81. and K. think the mat
ter is worth Investigating, and they
have proposed that go at once to "
ind this man and follow up his clew if
t should prove to be worth anything.
The prospect is rather enlivening, and,
Is it happens my professional engage
nents are not SO numerous or exactipg
ust now as to interfere with my absent
ng myself from the Office. Prosecuted
! case of assault and battery yesterday,
md sent defendant to jail. Don't know
whether he was guilty or not. Suspect
lot; but proved that he was, and
hat was the end of it. And now, in
famed by that grand success, my voice
} still for warl Wish could get hold
t something sensational, something
eally worthy of my attention. Assault
nd batteryI 1 blush to write the {
lords Are my talents to be dissi- t
ated, my nerve and brain tissues to be S
'orn out pursuing such paltry game as
lat? The fates Forbid There must il
e some higher destiny in store for me. il
erhaps this mission to x will fur {
ish me the sensational experiences
lat long for. 1 think I'll start to- G
orrow. My constitution demands a
light change of air and scenery, and tt
he trip will no doubt be of great bene- d
to me, though whether anything OF Il
lportance to business interests will
suit therefrom is somewhat problem N
