wisely to leave Il 30. for I had seen
enough of that detachment and CON
centration to be able to form q much
better idea Of it than his words were
likely to suggest! Lvesay did. how
ever, fill in some of the details of
the picture for ms. ~
The sergeant, It appears went over
the whole floor Of tho little house,
by board, with his big magni-
Tying glass. Now and then he pick
ed UP some small object, too minute
for the mem at the door to be able
to distinguish what It a and sub
jected 1t to more minute inspection
through the three1lenseds mAgnifier.
He brought from inv4sdblevpSekets sso6f
that ~treaselesg coat some envelopes,
into which he put sorne of these OBJ

nation. He left the body Of my poor
young aunt to the last, but when he
did come to its inspection tho investi-
cation was even more meticuloua
On his way from the station to the
house, under the convoy Of Iarn-
combe, he had left a suitcase and a
handbag at the White Hart In the
village. where he had engaged a bed-
room. and after his first glance at the
summer-house he had instructed
Larncombe to send one of the other
attendant o~onAtables to the hotel.
with orders to ask for the bag and to
bring 1t to the Summer-house. This
errand had been executed and the
bag had been placed just within the
door in course Of my Interrogation.
He opened the dress and made a
particular examination Of the shape
OF the wound, skctching OH one of
his envelopes its exact outline and
noting the extent and character of
n bruised space around it. From
his handbag he brought a camera,
and, setting the time arrangement
carefully so as to get a good result
IN the subdued Light Of the Summer
house, took photographs from differ
ent angles Of the body and its sur
rounding objects. -
When al that was done he looked
up at Livesay, who had couehed sew
eral times. loudly but vainly to attract
his attention, and without Il aDo-
ogy or preface entered upon his cate
chism: Nov tell me, what time wal
