The
Daily
Telegraph
remarked
that
in
the
history
of
crime
there
had
seldom
been
a
tragedy
which
presented
stranger
features
.
The
German
name
of
the
victim
,
the
absence
of
all
other
motive
,
and
the
sinister
inscription
on
the
wall
,
all
pointed
to
its
perpetration
by
political
refugees
and
revolutionists
.
The
Socialists
had
many
branches
in
America
,
and
the
deceased
had
,
no
doubt
,
infringed
their
unwritten
laws
,
and
been
tracked
down
by
them
.
After
alluding
airily
to
the
Vehmgericht
,
aqua
tofana
,
Carbonari
,
the
Marchioness
de
Brinvilliers
,
the
Darwinian
theory
,
the
principles
of
Malthus
,
and
the
Ratcliff
Highway
murders
,
the
article
concluded
by
admonishing
the
Government
and
advocating
a
closer
watch
over
foreigners
in
England
.
The
Standard
commented
upon
the
fact
that
lawless
outrages
of
the
sort
usually
occurred
under
a
Liberal
Administration
.
They
arose
from
the
unsettling
of
the
minds
of
the
masses
,
and
the
consequent
weakening
of
all
authority
.
The
deceased
was
an
American
gentleman
who
had
been
residing
for
some
weeks
in
the
Metropolis
.
He
had
stayed
at
the
boarding-house
of
Madame
Charpentier
,
in
Torquay
Terrace
,
Camberwell
.
He
was
accompanied
in
his
travels
by
his
private
secretary
,
Mr.
Joseph
Stangerson
.
The
two
bade
adieu
to
their
landlady
upon
Tuesday
,
the
4th
inst.
,
and
departed
to
Euston
Station
with
the
avowed
intention
of
catching
the
Liverpool
express
.
They
were
afterwards
seen
together
upon
the
platform
.
Nothing
more
is
known
of
them
until
Mr.
Drebber
's
body
was
,
as
recorded
,
discovered
in
an
empty
house
in
the
Brixton
Road
,
many
miles
from
Euston
.
How
he
came
there
,
or
how
he
met
his
fate
,
are
questions
which
are
still
involved
in
mystery
.
Nothing
is
known
of
the
whereabouts
of
Stangerson
.
We
are
glad
to
learn
that
Mr.
Lestrade
and
Mr.
Gregson
,
of
Scotland
Yard
,
are
both
engaged
upon
the
case
,
and
it
is
confidently
anticipated
that
these
well-known
officers
will
speedily
throw
light
upon
the
matter
.
The
Daily
News
observed
that
there
was
no
doubt
as
to
the
crime
being
a
political
one
.
The
despotism
and
hatred
of
Liberalism
which
animated
the
Continental
Governments
had
had
the
effect
of
driving
to
our
shores
a
number
of
men
who
might
have
made
excellent
citizens
were
they
not
soured
by
the
recollection
of
all
that
they
had
undergone
.
Among
these
men
there
was
a
stringent
code
of
honour
,
any
infringement
of
which
was
punished
by
death
.
Every
effort
should
be
made
to
find
the
secretary
,
Stangerson
,
and
to
ascertain
some
particulars
of
the
habits
of
the
deceased
.
A
great
step
had
been
gained
by
the
discovery
of
the
address
of
the
house
at
which
he
had
boarded
--
a
result
which
was
entirely
due
to
the
acuteness
and
energy
of
Mr.
Gregson
of
Scotland
Yard
.
Sherlock
Holmes
and
I
read
these
notices
over
together
at
breakfast
,
and
they
appeared
to
afford
him
considerable
amusement
.
"
I
told
you
that
,
whatever
happened
,
Lestrade
and
Gregson
would
be
sure
to
score
.
"
"
That
depends
on
how
it
turns
out
.
"
"
Oh
,
bless
you
,
it
does
n't
matter
in
the
least
.
If
the
man
is
caught
,
it
will
be
on
account
of
their
exertions
;
if
he
escapes
,
it
will
be
in
spite
of
their
exertions
.
It
's
heads
I
win
and
tails
you
lose
.
Whatever
they
do
,
they
will
have
followers
.

"'
"
What
on
earth
is
this
?
"
I
cried
,
for
at
this
moment
there
came
the
pattering
of
many
steps
in
the
hall
and
on
the
stairs
,
accompanied
by
audible
expressions
of
disgust
upon
the
part
of
our
landlady
.
"
It
's
the
Baker
Street
division
of
the
detective
police
force
,
"
said
my
companion
,
gravely
;
and
as
he
spoke
there
rushed
into
the
room
half
a
dozen
of
the
dirtiest
and
most
ragged
street
Arabs
that
ever
I
clapped
eyes
on
.
