I
'd
rather
have
Webster
,
of
Utica
,
"
went
on
Mason
,
"
or
Beemis
,
or
both
.
Four
or
five
opinions
in
a
case
like
this
wo
n't
be
any
too
many
.
"
And
Heit
,
sensing
the
importance
of
the
great
responsibility
now
resting
on
him
,
added
:
"
Well
,
I
guess
you
're
right
,
Orville
.
Maybe
four
or
five
would
be
better
than
one
or
two
.
That
means
,
though
,
that
the
inquest
will
have
to
be
postponed
for
a
day
or
two
more
,
till
we
get
these
men
here
.
"
"
Quite
right
!
Quite
right
,
"
went
on
Mason
,
"
but
that
will
be
a
good
thing
,
too
,
as
long
as
I
'm
going
down
to
Lycurgus
to-night
to
see
what
I
can
find
out
.
You
never
can
tell
.
I
may
catch
up
with
him
.
I
hope
so
,
anyhow
,
or
if
not
that
,
then
I
may
come
upon
something
that
'll
throw
some
extra
light
on
this
.
For
this
is
going
to
be
a
big
thing
,
Fred
.
I
can
see
that
--
the
most
difficult
case
that
ever
came
my
way
,
or
yours
,
either
--
and
we
ca
n't
be
too
careful
as
to
how
we
move
from
now
on
.
He
's
likely
to
be
rich
,
you
see
,
and
if
he
is
he
'll
fight
.
Besides
there
's
that
family
down
there
to
back
him
up
.
"
He
ran
a
nervous
hand
through
his
shock
of
hair
,
then
added
:
"
Well
,
that
's
all
right
too
.
The
next
thing
to
do
is
to
get
Beemis
and
Webster
of
Utica
--
better
wire
them
to-night
,
eh
,
or
call
them
up
.
And
Sprull
of
Albany
,
and
then
,
to
keep
peace
in
the
family
around
here
,
perhaps
we
'd
better
have
Lincoln
and
Betts
over
here
.
And
maybe
Bavo
.
"
He
permitted
himself
the
faintest
shadow
of
a
smile
.
"
In
the
meantime
,
I
'll
be
going
along
,
Fred
.
Arrange
to
have
them
come
up
Monday
or
Tuesday
,
instead
of
to-morrow
.
I
expect
to
be
back
by
then
and
if
so
I
can
be
with
you
.
If
you
can
,
better
get
'em
up
here
,
Monday
--
see
--
the
quicker
the
better
--
and
we
'll
see
what
we
know
by
then
.
"
He
went
to
a
drawer
to
secure
some
extra
writs
.
And
then
into
the
outer
room
to
explain
to
Alden
the
trip
that
was
before
him
.
And
to
have
Burleigh
call
up
his
wife
,
to
whom
he
explained
the
nature
of
his
work
and
haste
and
that
he
might
not
be
back
before
Monday
.
And
all
the
way
down
to
Utica
,
which
took
three
hours
,
as
well
as
a
wait
of
one
hour
before
a
train
for
Lycurgus
could
be
secured
,
and
an
additional
hour
and
twenty
minutes
on
that
train
,
which
set
them
down
at
about
seven
,
Orville
Mason
was
busy
extracting
from
the
broken
and
gloomy
Titus
,
as
best
he
could
,
excerpts
from
his
own
as
well
as
Roberta
's
humble
past
--
her
generosity
,
loyalty
,
virtue
,
sweetness
of
heart
,
and
the
places
and
conditions
under
which
previously
she
had
worked
,
and
what
she
had
received
,
and
what
she
had
done
with
the
money
--
a
humble
story
which
he
was
quite
able
to
appreciate
.
Arriving
at
Lycurgus
with
Titus
by
his
side
,
he
made
his
way
as
quickly
as
possible
to
the
Lycurgus
House
,
where
he
took
a
room
for
the
father
in
order
that
he
might
rest
.
And
after
that
to
the
office
of
the
local
district
attorney
,
from
whom
he
must
obtain
authority
to
proceed
,
as
well
as
an
officer
who
would
execute
his
will
for
him
here
.
And
then
being
supplied
with
a
stalwart
detective
in
plain
clothes
,
he
proceeded
to
Clyde
's
room
in
Taylor
Street
,
hoping
against
hope
that
he
might
find
him
there
.
But
Mrs.
Peyton
appearing
and
announcing
that
Clyde
lived
there
but
that
at
present
he
was
absent
(
having
gone
the
Tuesday
before
to
visit
friends
at
Twelfth
Lake
,
she
believed
)
,
he
was
rather
painfully
compelled
to
announce
,
first
,
that
he
was
the
district
attorney
of
Cataraqui
County
,
and
,
next
,
that
because
of
certain
suspicious
circumstances
in
connection
with
the
drowning
of
a
girl
in
Big
Bittern
,
with
whom
they
had
reason
to
believe
that
Clyde
was
at
the
time
,
they
would
now
be
compelled
to
have
access
to
his
room
,
a
statement
which
so
astonished
Mrs.
Peyton
that
she
fell
back
,
an
expression
of
mixed
amazement
,
horror
,
and
unbelief
overspreading
her
features
.
"
Not
Mr.
Clyde
Griffiths
!
Oh
,
how
ridiculous
!
Why
,
he
's
the
nephew
of
Mr.
Samuel
Griffiths
and
very
well
known
here
.
I
'm
sure
they
can
tell
you
all
about
him
at
their
residence
,
if
you
must
know
.
But
anything
like
--
oh
,
impossible
!
"
And
she
looked
at
both
Mason
and
the
local
detective
who
was
already
displaying
his
official
badge
,
as
though
she
doubted
both
their
honesty
and
authority
.
