ceptlon given by the president OF the
republic in honor of the Academy Of
Science Of Philadelphia. When l left
my chamber at half past 10 my father
was already at work in the laboratory.
We worked together till midday. We
then took half an hours walk In the
park, as we were accustomed to do,
before breakfasting at the chateau.
After breakfast we took another walk
for half an hour and then returned to
the laboratory. There we found my
chambermaid, who had come to set my
room In order. l went into the yell
low room to give her some slight or
ners, and she directly afterward left
the pavilion, and l resumed my work
with my father. At o'clock we again
went for walk in the park and after
ward had tea
80. Before leaving the pavilion at 5
o'clock did you go into your chamber?
A. No, monsieur. My father went into
1t, at my request, to bring me my hat.
20. And he found nothing suspicious
there. A. Evidently no, monsieur.
20. 1t is. then, almost certain that
the murderer was not yet concealed
under the bed. When you went out
was the door Of the room locked? A.
No; there was no reason for locking it.
80. You were absent from the pavil-
ion some length of time. NJ. Stangerson
and you? A.. About an hour.
80. 1t was during that hour, no
doubt, that the murderer got into the
pavilion. But how? Nobody knows.
Footmarks have been found in the
park leading away from the window
Of the vestibule, but none has been
found going toward it. Did you notice
whether the vestibule window was
open when you went out? A. / don't
remember.
IN. Stangerson-It was closed.
20. And when you returned?
mile. Stangerson-I did not notice.
IN. Stangerson-It was still closed.
remember remarking aloud, Daddy
Jacques must surely have opened 1t
| while we were away
20. Strange! Do you recollect, NJ.
Stangerson. If during your absence
and before going out he had opened it?
You returned to the laboratory at 9
o'clock and resumed work?
mile. Stangerson-Yes, monsieur.
20. And you did not leave the labo-
ratory from that hour up to the mo-
ment when you entered your chamber?
IN. Stangerson-Neither my daugh-
ter nor I. monsieur. We were engag-
ed on work that was pressing, and we
lost not a moment, neglecting every,
thing else on that account.
20. Did you dine In the laboratory?
A. For that reason.
70. Are you accustomed to dine In
the laboratory? A. We rarely dine
there.
20. Could the murderer have known
that you would dine there that even
ing?
IN. Stangerson-Good heavens,
think not. 1t was only when we re-
turned to the pavilion at 6 o'clock that
we decided, my daughter and l, to dine
there. At that moment l was spoken
to by my gamekeeper, who detained
me a moment to ask me to accompany
him on an urgent tour Of inspection In
part of the woods which l had de-
cided to thin. put this off until the
next day and begged him as he was
going by the chateau to tell the stew
ard that we should dine in the lab
oratory. He left me to execute the
errand, and l rejoined my daughter,
who was already at work.
20. At what hour, mademoiselle, did
you go to your chamber while your
midnight.
20. Did Daddy Jacques enter the
yellow room In the course Of the even
ing? A. To shut the blinds and light
the night light.
20. He saw nothing suspicious? A
He would have told us If he had seen
Daddy Jacques is an honest man and
greatly attached to me.
20, You affirm. NJ. Stangerson, that
Daddy Jacques remained with you al
the time you were in the laboratory?
IN. Stangerson-I am sure of 1t.
