any case, he turned to his own
profit, resolutely completed and
carried out to the very end. And
he did so because he knew Of
Cosmo Mornington's will. 1t is
he whom L accuse, Monsieur le
Prefet.

Of that part of the crimes and
felonies which cannot be attribut-
ed to Hippolyte Fauville. | ac-
cuse him of breaking open the
drawer Of the desk in which
Maitre Lepertuis, Cosmo Morn
ington's solicitor, had put his
client S will. | accuse him of en-
tering Cosmo Mornington's room
and substituting a pbial contain
ing a toxic fluid for one of the
phials OF glycero-phosphate which
Cosmo Mornington used for his
hypodermic injections. | accuse
him OF playing the part OF a doe
tor who came to certify Cosmo
Mornington's death and of deliv-
ering a false certificate. / accuse
him Of supplying Hippolyte Eau
vile with the poison which killed
successfully Inspector Eerot, Ed

Fauvillc himself. | accuse him of
arming and turning against me
the hand Of CASTOR Sauyerand,
who, acting under his advice and
instructions, tried three times to
take my life and ended by caus-
ing the death of my chauffeur.
| accuse him of profiting by the
relations which CASTOR Sauverand
had established with the infirm-
AIRY in order to communicate with
Marie Fauville, and Of arranging
for Marie Fauville to receive the
hypodermic syringe and the phial
of poison with which the poor
woman was able to carry out her
plans Of suicide"
Perenna paused to note the eff
feet OF these charges. Then he
went on:
II accuse him Of conveying to
CASTOR Sauverand, by some un-
known means, the newspaper cut
tings about Marie Fauville's
death and, at the same time, fore
seeing the inevitable results of his
act. TO sum up, therefore, with
out mentioning his share in the
other crimes-the death Of In
spector Verot, the death Of my
chauffeur accuse him of kill
ing Cosmo Mornington, Edmond
Fauville, Hippolyte Fauville, Ma
RE Fauville, and CASTOR SAWYER.

Police, who was forgetting the
whole of Don Luis Perenna's pow
erful and closely reasoned argu-
ment, and thinking only Of the
supplying %apparition which Don
Luis announced. Don Luis re-
Piled:
Monsieur lie Prefet, his visit
is the logical outcome of my ac-
cusations. Remember that Cosmo
Mornington's will explicitly
states that no heirs claim will be
valid unless he is present at to-
days meeting.
"And suppose he does not
comet" asked the Project, thus
showing that Don Luis convic-
ton had gradually got the better
of his doubts.
"He will come, Monsieur lie Pre-
fet. If not, there would have
been no in all this business.

actions of Hippolyte Fauville, it
