Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-10-13

I determined on a plan of setting down on paper every word indicated by the crimson mark, on doing which l had the following list. which give in the order in which discovered them, going systematically through the die tionary:
 Masters goodby to my I invention oldest communicated for cannot diction- ary is plans friend to the move has him dynamo from in murdered the I here me details intended to tonight fooliShly plans of to getting my patent or iudi- cate next paper the dull new month so mark this murderer street dying his borough property name he drawings Whitelaw stolen house has stone Jas per blood to my l."
 Oh going over this for some time I began piece by piece to put it together. I picked out first of all two words which seemed supplementary, Jasper" and Borough. Evidently the first was the name of the man con- nected with the deed, and the second was the district in London known by that name.
 next picked on the word "dull, WH1CD dS du adJSSt4hC cICAhCu out of place in such a dying speech, and at once remembered the street called Dull street, " which was situat- doubt that the address given was in Dull streCt borough. So far so good.
 Finding no other use for the words "stone' and "house, vcntured to use them as the name of residence in Dull street, which made my information read, "Stone house, Dull street, bor- ough. " On looking up the street surely enough found the corner house called by that name.
 After many hours toil. twisting and turning, I at length got the words put into some sort of shape, and this is how they read:
 Jasper Whitelaw stone house Dull street borough has murdered me tonight foolishly my oldest friend all my draw ings he has stolen plans property com municated to him the details and plans of my new invention for the dynamo to patent next month I intended to get ink or paper cannot move from here and mark this so in dictionary my blood to indicate the murderer his name is I am dying all Masters goodby T.
 On going over this again Itransposed certain words, putting the first two words, Jasper Whitelaw." after tho phrase. murderer is, which made the lines read more clearly. In the end, after great labor, arrived at the fol- lowing, which submit for the consid- eration of the authorities:
 My oldest friend has murdered me t0ni Cht EoO1iShlr ieofod t0 him the details and plans of my new Invention for the dynamo intended to patent next month. I cannot move from here to get ink or paper and so mark this dictionary in my blood to indicate the murderer. His name is Jasper Whitelaw, stone house, Dull street, Borough. All my plans and drawings he has stolen. am dying. All proper ty to Masters. Goodby."
 The above is my report. To this I have nothing further to add. Attached hereto are the dictionary, my rough drafts of the solution and all tho mem oranda l made to assist me in the search. JOHN DAVIS BEvIS
 This report was read privately, and the detectives went to work at once. The man Whitelaw was captured atthe patent office, where he was in the Sefy act of filing his application for the pat ent of the new dynamo machine.
 At his lodgings in Dull street the pa- pers and plans belonging to Mayne were found. Finding himself surrounded by testimony which seemed to come from the grave he made a full confession.
 It seemed that he had met his friend, MT. Mayne, on the evening in question. After sundry drinks together Mayne be- came communicative and eventually asked the other to come to bis house. Here he explained to him the details of his invention.
 Carried away as he was by the excite ment produced by the liquor, he told all to the man, whom he trusted implic- ity. But Whitelaw, seeing the prospect of a mighty fortune in the use of the patent, had stabbed the old man with his large pockethnife and left him on the floor bleeding to death, making his escape easily and without hindrance by the front door.-Exchanse.
