As
he
said
this
,
he
began
to
search
in
the
right-hand
pocket
of
his
well-worn
and
baggy
linen
suit
and
finally
extracted
Roberta
's
letter
,
which
he
handed
his
friend
,
drawing
up
a
chair
and
seating
himself
while
the
district
attorney
proceeded
to
read
.
"
Well
,
this
does
look
rather
suspicious
,
do
n't
it
?
"
he
announced
,
as
he
finished
.
"
You
say
they
have
n't
found
him
yet
.
Well
,
have
you
communicated
with
this
woman
to
see
what
she
knows
about
it
?
"
"
No
,
Orville
,
I
have
n't
,
"
replied
Heit
,
slowly
and
meditatively
.
"
And
I
'll
tell
you
why
.
The
fact
is
,
I
decided
up
there
last
night
that
this
was
something
I
had
better
talk
over
with
you
before
I
did
anything
at
all
.
You
know
what
the
political
situation
here
is
just
now
.
And
how
the
proper
handling
of
a
case
like
this
is
likely
to
affect
public
opinion
this
fall
.
And
while
I
certainly
do
n't
think
we
ought
to
mix
politics
in
with
crime
there
certainly
is
no
reason
why
we
should
n't
handle
this
in
such
a
way
as
to
make
it
count
in
our
favor
.
And
so
I
thought
I
had
better
come
and
see
you
first
.
Of
course
,
if
you
want
me
to
,
Orville
,
I
'll
go
over
there
.
Only
I
was
thinking
that
perhaps
it
would
be
better
for
you
to
go
,
and
find
out
just
who
this
fellow
is
and
all
about
him
.
You
know
what
a
case
like
this
might
mean
from
a
political
point
of
view
,
if
only
we
clean
it
up
,
and
I
know
you
're
the
one
to
do
it
,
Orville
.
"
"
Thanks
,
Fred
,
thanks
,
"
replied
Mason
,
solemnly
,
tapping
his
desk
with
the
letter
and
squinting
at
his
friend
.
"
I
'm
grateful
to
you
for
your
opinion
and
you
've
outlined
the
very
best
way
to
go
about
it
,
I
think
.
You
're
sure
no
one
outside
yourself
has
seen
this
letter
?
"
"
Only
the
envelope
.
And
no
one
but
Mr.
Hubbard
,
the
proprietor
of
the
inn
up
there
,
has
seen
that
,
and
he
told
me
that
he
found
it
in
her
pocket
and
took
charge
of
it
for
fear
it
might
disappear
or
be
opened
before
I
got
there
.
He
said
he
had
a
feeling
there
might
be
something
wrong
the
moment
he
heard
of
the
drowning
.
The
young
man
had
acted
so
nervous
--
strange-like
,
he
said
.
"
"
Very
good
,
Fred
.
Then
do
n't
say
anything
more
about
it
to
any
one
for
the
present
,
will
you
?
I
'll
go
right
over
there
,
of
course
.
But
what
else
did
you
find
,
anything
?
"
Mr.
Mason
was
quite
alive
now
,
interrogative
,
dynamic
,
and
a
bit
dictatorial
in
his
manner
,
even
to
his
old
friend
.
"
Plenty
,
plenty
,
"
replied
the
coroner
,
most
sagely
and
solemnly
.
"
There
were
some
suspicious
cuts
or
marks
under
the
girl
's
right
eye
and
above
the
left
temple
,
Orville
,
and
across
the
lip
and
nose
,
as
though
the
poor
little
thing
mighta
been
hit
by
something
--
a
stone
or
a
stick
or
one
of
those
oars
that
they
found
floating
up
there
.
She
's
just
a
child
yet
,
Orville
,
in
looks
and
size
,
anyhow
--
a
very
pretty
girl
--
but
not
as
good
as
she
might
have
been
,
as
I
'll
show
you
presently
.
"
At
this
point
the
coroner
paused
to
extract
a
large
handkerchief
and
blow
into
it
a
very
loud
blast
,
brushing
his
beard
afterward
in
a
most
orderly
way
.
"
I
did
n't
have
time
to
get
a
doctor
up
there
and
besides
I
'm
going
to
hold
the
inquest
down
here
,
Monday
,
if
I
can
.
I
've
ordered
the
Lutz
boys
to
go
up
there
to-day
and
bring
her
body
down
.
But
the
most
suspicious
of
all
the
evidence
that
has
come
to
light
so
far
,
Orville
,
is
the
testimony
of
two
men
and
a
boy
who
live
up
at
Three
Mile
Bay
and
who
were
walking
up
to
Big
Bittern
on
Thursday
night
to
hunt
and
fish
.
I
had
Earl
take
down
their
names
and
subpoena
'em
for
the
inquest
next
Monday
.
"
And
the
coroner
proceeded
to
detail
their
testimony
about
their
accidental
meeting
of
Clyde
.
"
Well
,
well
!
"
interjected
the
district
attorney
,
thoroughly
interested
.
