When the police inspector appeared
Mr.. Stump asked him TO help him into
the sitting room, called for cigars, and
apologized for the trouble he had given.
He then explained that he shot the
man in order TO expedite matters.
1t was really much easier TO shoot
than 10 get over to the bell" he said.
BESIDES, L knew 7 should not hurt him
much, and he might have stabbed my
nurse before I got TO the bell. Shoot
ing was quicker, anyway"
