for one OF the reputed wealth of Herr
Schweinitz. In one corner was an office
chair at desk, beside which stood a
straight chair covered with books and
papers. To the side of the door OPEN
ing onto the hall, near smoking table,
was an old sofa and below a high
window in the opposite wall stood its
duplicate. This apparently, however,
was quite new. A waste basket beneath
the desk, in which Fordney found scraps
Of a memorandum detailing a financial
agreement, completed the furnishings.
The footman and cook, who looked
after the old man, appeared visibly nerv-
GUS and agitated. Evidently the in
vestigating officer was satisfied, for he
reported 1t suicide.
I'm sure you're wrong" Fordney said
to the astonished officer. 1T may not
be murder, either!'
1t was later determined it was neither
