We
are
possibly
not
giving
this
matter
a
fair
trial
,
"
he
said
.
"
The
paper
is
spread
out
upon
a
plane
surface
;
but
the
human
throat
is
cylindrical
.
Here
is
a
billet
of
wood
,
the
circumference
of
which
is
about
that
of
the
throat
.
Wrap
the
drawing
around
it
,
and
try
the
experiment
again
.
"
I
did
so
;
but
the
difficulty
was
even
more
obvious
than
before
.
"
This
,
"
I
said
,
"
is
the
mark
of
no
human
hand
.
"
"
Read
now
,
"
replied
Dupin
,
"
this
passage
from
Cuvier
.
"
It
was
a
minute
anatomical
and
generally
descriptive
account
of
the
large
fulvous
Ourang-Outang
of
the
East
Indian
Islands
.
The
gigantic
stature
,
the
prodigious
strength
and
activity
,
the
wild
ferocity
,
and
the
imitative
propensities
of
these
mammalia
are
sufficiently
well
known
to
all
.
I
understood
the
full
horrors
of
the
murder
at
once
.
"
The
description
of
the
digits
,
"
said
I
,
as
I
made
an
end
of
reading
,
"
is
in
exact
accordance
with
this
drawing
,
I
see
that
no
animal
but
an
Ourang-Outang
,
of
the
species
here
mentioned
,
could
have
impressed
the
indentations
as
you
have
traced
them
.
This
tuft
of
tawny
hair
,
too
,
is
identical
in
character
with
that
of
the
beast
of
Cuvier
.
But
I
can
not
possibly
comprehend
the
particulars
of
this
frightful
mystery
.
Besides
,
there
were
two
voices
heard
in
contention
,
and
one
of
them
was
unquestionably
the
voice
of
a
Frenchman
.
"
True
;
and
you
will
remember
an
expression
attributed
almost
unanimously
,
by
the
evidence
,
to
this
voice
--
the
expression
,
'
mon
Dieu
!
'
This
,
under
the
circumstances
,
has
been
justly
characterized
by
one
of
the
witnesses
(
Montani
,
the
confectioner
,
)
as
an
expression
of
remonstrance
or
expostulation
.
Upon
these
two
words
,
therefore
,
I
have
mainly
built
my
hopes
of
a
full
solution
of
the
riddle
.
A
Frenchman
was
cognizant
of
the
murder
.
It
is
possible
--
indeed
it
is
far
more
than
probable
--
that
he
was
innocent
of
all
participation
in
the
bloody
transactions
which
took
place
.
The
Ourang-Outang
may
have
escaped
from
him
.
He
may
have
traced
it
to
the
chamber
;
but
,
under
the
agitating
circumstances
which
ensued
,
he
could
never
have
re-captured
it
.
It
is
still
at
large
.
I
will
not
pursue
these
guesses-for
I
have
no
right
to
call
them
more
--
since
the
shades
of
reflection
upon
which
they
are
based
are
scarcely
of
sufficient
depth
to
be
appreciable
by
my
own
intellect
,
and
since
I
could
not
pretend
to
make
them
intelligible
to
the
understanding
of
another
.
We
will
call
them
guesses
then
,
and
speak
of
them
as
such
.
If
the
Frenchman
in
question
is
indeed
,
as
I
suppose
,
innocent
of
this
atrocity
,
this
advertisement
,
which
I
left
last
night
,
upon
our
return
home
,
at
the
office
of
'
Le
Monde
,
'
(
a
paper
devoted
to
the
shipping
interest
,
and
much
sought
by
sailors
,
)
will
bring
him
to
our
residence
.
"
He
handed
me
a
paper
,
and
I
read
thus
:
Caught
--
In
the
Bois
de
Boulogne
,
early
in
the
morning
of
the
--
inst.
,
(
the
morning
of
the
murder
,
)
a
very
large
,
tawny
Ourang-Outang
of
the
Bornese
species
.
The
owner
,
(
who
is
ascertained
to
be
a
sailor
,
belonging
to
a
Maltese
vessel
,
)
may
have
the
animal
again
,
upon
identifying
it
satisfactorily
,
and
paying
a
few
charges
arising
from
its
capture
and
keeping
.
Call
at
No
.
--
Rue
--
Faubourg
St.
Germain
--
au
troisieme
.
"
How
was
it
possible
,
"
I
asked
,
"
that
you
should
know
the
man
to
be
a
sailor
,
and
belonging
to
a
Maltese
vessel
?
"
"
I
do
not
know
it
,
"
said
Dupin
.
"
I
am
not
sure
of
it
.
