"Your story is connected, and it is

Dunlap. incredulously; lin fact, the de-
tails are far too abundant for the evil

Every one of the details is based up
on facts replied Sturgis. What
have accomplished thus far has been
simple enough. because luck has ia
vored us. Yesterday being cleaning

scrubbed some time during the after
noon. before Arbogast was ready to
leave and before Chatham had arrived.

Sturgis '"The footprints show that
Arbogast stood at his desk while the
scrubbnS was going on. We may safe
~ say it was after half-past four
o'clock when he started to leave the
bank: for otherwise ii is presumabie
that Chatham would have waited for
him at the corner of South and Wall
streets. as he was asked to do in the
bookkeeper's telegram. He first
walked ever TO the safe and closed it,
changing the combination. so that the
lock could not be opened until he had
had a fair start Next he went 10 the

use in his fight. II started to leave
the building through the Exchange
place door; but probably remembered
that the Wall street door was not
locked and went back 10 lock il. AS
he was about to close the outer door,
Chatham arrived on the scene, and the
two men reentered. as we have already
seen. The footprints tell their story
fully and absolutely. their chronology
zeal order being established by the oc-
casional obliteration of a footprint in
one trail by another in a subsequent
