The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-07-08

Once started In Tottenham Court road,
his mind naturally follows his usual
route along II. lie remembers the ad-
vertising captive balloon half way down,
and that goes on his paper. In imagina.
tion he crosses the road and keeps on III
lander outside the tobacconist's, That
is sketched. Thus IL Is plain that ia
miliar route with him was from New Ok
ford street up Tottenham Court road.
At the police station l ventured to guess
from this that he lived somewhere near
Seven Dials-perhaps, before long we
shall know II this was right. But 10
return TO the sketches. After the High
lander there is something at first not
very distinct. A little examination, how
ever, shows IL to be intended for
chimney pot partly covered with a bas-
ket. Now an old basket stuck sideways
on chimney by way of cowl Is not an
uncommon thing in parts OF the coun-
try, but 1t is very unusual In London.
Probably, then, 1t will be I'm some by
street or alley. Next, and last, there Is
a horses head, and IL was at this that
the mans trouble returned to him!
Now, when one goes to place and finds
horse there, that place is not un-
commonly a stable. And as matter OF
fact, the basket cowl would be nlnch
more likely 10 be found in use In a
range OF back stabling than anywhere
else. Suppose, then, after taking the
direction indicated in the sketches-the
direction OF Fitzroy Square, in fact lone
were to find range OF stabling with
basket cowl visible about 1t? / know my
London pretty well, as you are aware,
and i could remember but too likely
stable yards In that particular part-the
two we looked at, in the second Of which
you may possibly have noticed Just such
a basket cowl as have been speaking of.
Well, what we did you know; and that we
found confirmation of my conjecture
about the loaves you also know. II was
the recollection of the horse and cart, and
what they were to transport, and what
the end OF 1t had all been, that upset Ger
aid as he drew the horses head. You
will notice that the sketches have not
been done in separate rows, left to right;
they have simply followed one another
all around the paper-which means pre-
occupation and Inconsistencies on the
part OF the man who made them"
"But," l asked, "supposing those
Ioaves to contain bombs, how were the
bombs put there? Baking the bread
round them would have been risky,
wouldn't it?"
Certainly What they did was to cut
the loaves, each row down the center.
Then most of the crumb was scooped out,
the explosive inserted, and the sides
joined up and glued. thought you had
spotted the joints though they certainly
were neat. I"
"No, didn't examine closely. Luigi.
of course had been told off for a daily
visit to feed the horse, and that is how
we caught him.
Zone supposes so. They hadn I re-
arranged their plans as to going on
with the outrages after Gerald's detection.
BY the way, / noticed that he was ac-
customed to driving when / first saw
him. There was an unmistaka Bile mark
On mis- coat-just at the small of the back
that drivers get who lean against rail in
4 cart.
The loaves were examined by official ex-
perts, and, as everybody now knows,
were found TO contain, as Hewitt had
large charges of dynamite.
What became OF some half dozen of the |
men captured Is also well known-their
were exemplary.
