We
must
wire
to
Mawson
's
.
"
"
They
shut
at
twelve
on
Saturdays
.
"
"
Never
mind
.
There
may
be
some
door-keeper
or
attendant
--
"
"
Ah
,
yes
,
they
keep
a
permanent
guard
there
on
account
of
the
value
of
the
securities
that
they
hold
.
I
remember
hearing
it
talked
of
in
the
City
.
"
"
Very
good
,
we
shall
wire
to
him
and
see
if
all
is
well
,
and
if
a
clerk
of
your
name
is
working
there
.
That
is
clear
enough
,
but
what
is
not
so
clear
is
why
at
sight
of
us
one
of
the
rogues
should
instantly
walk
out
of
the
room
and
hang
himself
.
"
"
The
paper
!
"
croaked
a
voice
behind
us
.
The
man
was
sitting
up
,
blanched
and
ghastly
,
with
returning
reason
in
his
eyes
,
and
hands
which
rubbed
nervously
at
the
broad
red
band
which
still
encircled
his
throat
.
"
The
paper
!
Of
course
!
"
yelled
Holmes
in
a
paroxysm
of
excitement
.
"
Idiot
that
I
was
!
I
thought
so
much
of
our
visit
that
the
paper
never
entered
my
head
for
an
instant
.
To
be
sure
,
the
secret
must
lie
there
.
"
He
flattened
it
out
upon
the
table
,
and
a
cry
of
triumph
burst
from
his
lips
.
"
Look
at
this
,
Watson
,
"
he
cried
.
"
It
is
a
London
paper
,
an
early
edition
of
the
Evening
Standard
.
Here
is
what
we
want
.
Look
at
the
headlines
:
'
Crime
in
the
City
.
Murder
at
Mawson
&
Williams
's
.
Gigantic
Attempted
Robbery
.
Capture
of
the
Criminal
.
"
Here
,
Watson
,
we
are
all
equally
anxious
to
hear
it
,
so
kindly
read
it
aloud
to
us
.
"
It
appeared
from
its
position
in
the
paper
to
have
been
the
one
event
of
importance
in
town
,
and
the
account
of
it
ran
in
this
way
:
"
A
desperate
attempt
at
robbery
,
culminating
in
the
death
of
one
man
and
the
capture
of
the
criminal
,
occurred
this
afternoon
in
the
City
.
For
some
time
back
Mawson
&
Williams
,
the
famous
financial
house
,
have
been
the
guardians
of
securities
which
amount
in
the
aggregate
to
a
sum
of
considerably
over
a
million
sterling
.
So
conscious
was
the
manager
of
the
responsibility
which
devolved
upon
him
in
consequence
of
the
great
interests
at
stake
that
safes
of
the
very
latest
construction
have
been
employed
,
and
an
armed
watchman
has
been
left
day
and
night
in
the
building
.
It
appears
that
last
week
a
new
clerk
named
Hall
Pycroft
was
engaged
by
the
firm
.
This
person
appears
to
have
been
none
other
than
Beddington
,
the
famous
forger
and
cracksman
,
who
,
with
his
brother
,
has
only
recently
emerged
from
a
five
years
"
spell
of
penal
servitude
.
By
some
means
,
which
are
not
yet
clear
,
he
succeeded
in
winning
,
under
a
false
name
,
this
official
position
in
the
office
,
which
he
utilized
in
order
to
obtain
mouldings
of
various
locks
,
and
a
thorough
knowledge
of
the
position
of
the
strongroom
and
the
safes
.
