Something bit him." And he
pointed to two deep incisions on the
back Of the hand just above the
knuckles. from which a few drops of
blood had oozed and dried
With little exclamation of surprise
and excitement Godfrey bent for an
instant above the injured hand. Then
he turned and looked at rs.
This man didn't take poison" he
said in a low voice. He was killedp'
At the words we drew together
little, with a shiver of repulsion.
Goldberger, taking a deep breath,
voiced the thought which had sprung
into my own brain

queried the coroner.
1t was a shrewd thrust and one that
Godfrey might well have WINGED under.
He himself had been accused more than
once of too luxuriant Imagination. 1t
was perhaps a realization of this which
had persuaded him years before to

Thus reminded, GoIdberger fell TO

material and not very new. so that, in
life, he must have presented an APP
