cal papers informed us. created SEN
aSation. From them we learnt that
Number Two was right in supposing
rhat the information had been laid
hurriedly, and only a short time be-
fore the meeting took place. Late on
She evening in question a letter had
Deem received at the Marlborough po-
Flee station, stating that the writer
was member of gang of five crimi-
pals who were to meet that night in a
eiisused shed in the brick-field close to
the cemetery. The letter then went
on to say that the writer wished to
Gurn informer, and that if the police
would surround the shed and make
rsctsoners of those there assem- bled,
the writer would then make himself
known to the authorities, and would
place at their disposal whatever evil
s1ence was necessary TO procure the
conviction OF his accomplices.
Under Crdinary circum stances the
police NO IL have treated the letter as
a joke, ID either taken no action, OF
sent, pc laps, single constable to
inspect the shed. But since the dis
covery of dynamite at Fassett Square,
and the subsequent murder of the care
taker, the authorities at New Scotland
yard had instructed the provincial po-
lice that there was reason to believe
some treasonouS plot was Matching
and that sharp eye was everywhere
20 be kept upon suspicious strangers
Hence the Marlborough police super
tntendent had decided to act upon the
assumption that the letter was genu-
Hne, and had mustered the entire
strength of the local consta5ulary to
effect an arrest.
The newspaper account then went on
so say that the police had arrived at
fihe shed. only to discover that the
birds had flown; for with the excep-
zion of the informer, who was impa-
riehtly awaiting them. they had found
rhe place empty.
