After
a
lull
of
ten
months
since
the
dastardly
vandalism
in
the
Weeden
lot
at
the
North
Burial
Ground
,
a
nocturnal
prowler
was
glimpsed
early
this
morning
in
the
same
cemetery
by
Robert
Hart
,
the
night
watchman
.
Happening
to
glance
for
a
moment
from
his
shelter
at
about
2
a.m.
,
Hart
observed
the
glow
of
a
lantern
or
pocket
torch
not
far
to
the
northwest
,
and
upon
opening
the
door
detected
the
figure
of
a
man
with
a
trowel
very
plainly
silhouetted
against
a
nearby
electric
light
.
At
once
starting
in
pursuit
,
he
saw
the
figure
dart
hurriedly
toward
the
main
entrance
,
gaining
the
street
and
losing
himself
among
the
shadows
before
approach
or
capture
was
possible
.
Like
the
first
of
the
ghouls
active
during
the
past
year
,
this
intruder
had
done
no
real
damage
before
detection
.
A
vacant
part
of
the
Ward
lot
showed
signs
of
a
little
superficial
digging
,
but
nothing
even
nearly
the
size
of
a
grave
had
been
attempted
,
and
no
previous
grave
had
been
disturbed
.
Hart
,
who
can
not
describe
the
prowler
except
as
a
small
man
probably
having
a
full
beard
,
inclines
to
the
view
that
all
three
of
the
digging
incidents
have
a
common
source
;
but
police
from
the
Second
Station
think
otherwise
on
account
of
the
savage
nature
of
the
second
incident
,
where
an
ancient
coffin
was
removed
and
its
headstone
violently
shattered
.
The
first
of
the
incidents
,
in
which
it
is
thought
an
attempt
to
bury
something
was
frustrated
,
occurred
a
year
ago
last
March
,
and
has
been
attributed
to
bootleggers
seeking
a
cache
.
It
is
possible
,
says
Sergt
.
Riley
,
that
this
third
affair
is
of
similar
nature
.
Officers
at
the
Second
Station
are
taking
especial
pains
to
capture
the
gang
of
miscreants
responsible
for
these
repeated
outrages
.
All
day
Thursday
Dr.
Willett
rested
as
if
recuperating
from
something
past
or
nerving
himself
for
something
to
come
.
In
the
evening
he
wrote
a
note
to
Mr.
Ward
,
which
was
delivered
the
next
morning
and
which
caused
the
half
-
dazed
parent
to
ponder
long
and
deeply
.
Mr.
Ward
had
not
been
able
to
go
down
to
business
since
the
shock
of
Monday
with
its
baffling
reports
and
its
sinister
"
purgation
"
,
but
he
found
something
calming
about
the
doctor
's
letter
in
spite
of
the
despair
it
seemed
to
promise
and
the
fresh
mysteries
it
seemed
to
evoke
.

Dear
Theodore
:
--
I
feel
that
I
must
say
a
word
to
you
before
doing
what
I
am
going
to
do
tomorrow
.
It
will
conclude
the
terrible
business
we
have
been
going
through
(
for
I
feel
that
no
spade
is
ever
likely
to
reach
that
monstrous
place
we
know
of
)
,
but
I
'm
afraid
it
wo
n't
set
your
mind
at
rest
unless
I
expressly
assure
you
how
very
conclusive
it
is
.
