And
,
even
more
incriminating
,
a
third
bundle
,
consisting
of
eleven
letters
from
his
mother
,
the
first
two
addressed
to
Harry
Tenet
,
care
of
general
delivery
,
Chicago
--
a
most
suspicious
circumstance
on
the
surface
--
whereas
the
others
of
the
bundle
were
addressed
to
Clyde
Griffiths
,
not
only
care
of
the
Union
League
,
Chicago
,
but
to
Lycurgus
.
Without
waiting
further
to
see
what
else
the
trunk
might
contain
,
the
district
attorney
began
opening
these
and
reading
--
first
three
from
Roberta
,
after
which
the
reason
she
had
gone
to
Biltz
was
made
perfectly
plain
--
then
the
three
first
letters
from
his
mother
,
on
most
pathetically
commonplace
stationery
,
as
he
could
see
,
hinting
at
the
folly
of
the
life
as
well
as
the
nature
of
the
accident
that
had
driven
him
from
Kansas
City
,
and
at
the
same
time
advising
him
most
solicitously
and
tenderly
as
to
the
proper
path
for
his
feet
in
the
future
,
the
general
effect
of
which
was
to
convey
to
a
man
of
Mason
's
repressed
temperament
and
limited
social
experience
the
impression
that
from
the
very
beginning
this
individual
had
been
of
a
loose
,
wayward
and
errant
character
.
At
the
same
time
,
and
to
his
surprise
,
he
now
learned
that
except
for
what
his
rich
uncle
might
have
done
for
him
here
,
Clyde
was
obviously
of
a
poor
,
as
well
as
highly
religious
,
branch
of
the
Griffiths
family
,
and
while
ordinarily
this
might
have
influenced
him
in
Clyde
's
favor
a
little
,
still
now
,
in
view
of
the
notes
of
Sondra
,
as
well
as
the
pathetic
letters
of
Roberta
and
his
mother
's
reference
to
some
earlier
crime
in
Kansas
City
,
he
was
convinced
that
not
only
was
Clyde
of
such
a
disposition
as
could
plot
such
a
crime
but
also
one
who
could
execute
it
in
cold
blood
.
That
crime
in
Kansas
City
.
He
must
wire
the
district
attorney
there
for
particulars
.
And
with
this
thought
in
mind
,
he
now
scanned
more
briefly
but
none
the
less
sharply
and
critically
the
various
notes
or
invitations
or
love
messages
from
Sondra
,
all
on
heavily
perfumed
and
monogrammed
stationery
,
which
grew
more
and
more
friendly
and
intimate
as
the
correspondence
progressed
,
until
toward
the
last
they
invariably
began
:
"
Clydie
--
Mydie
,
"
or
"
Sweetest
Black
Eyes
,
"
or
"
My
sweetest
boy
,
"
and
were
signed
"
Sonda
,
"
or
"
Your
own
Sondra
.
"
And
some
of
them
dated
so
recently
as
May
10th
,
May
15th
,
May
26th
,
or
up
to
the
very
time
at
which
,
as
he
instantly
noted
,
Roberta
's
most
doleful
letters
began
to
arrive
.
It
was
all
so
plain
,
now
.
One
secretly
betrayed
girl
in
the
background
while
he
had
the
effrontery
to
ingratiate
himself
into
the
affections
of
another
,
this
time
obviously
one
of
much
higher
social
position
here
.
Although
fascinated
and
staggered
by
this
interesting
development
,
he
at
the
same
time
realized
that
this
was
no
hour
in
which
to
sit
meditating
.
Far
from
it
.
This
trunk
must
be
transferred
at
once
to
his
hotel
.
Later
he
must
go
forth
to
find
out
,
if
he
could
,
exactly
where
this
individual
was
,
and
arrange
for
his
capture
.
And
while
he
ordered
the
detective
to
call
up
the
police
department
and
arrange
for
the
transfer
of
the
trunk
to
his
room
at
the
Lycurgus
House
,
he
hurried
next
to
the
residence
of
Samuel
Griffiths
,
only
to
learn
that
no
member
of
the
family
was
then
in
the
city
.
They
were
all
at
Greenwood
Lake
.
But
a
telephone
message
to
that
place
brought
the
information
that
in
so
far
as
they
knew
,
this
same
Clyde
Griffiths
,
their
nephew
,
was
at
the
Cranston
lodge
on
Twelfth
Lake
,
near
Sharon
,
adjoining
the
Finchley
lodge
.
The
name
Finchley
,
together
with
the
town
of
Sharon
,
being
already
identified
in
Mason
's
mind
with
Clyde
,
he
at
once
decided
that
if
he
were
still
anywhere
in
this
region
,
he
would
be
there
--
at
the
summer
home
perhaps
of
this
girl
who
had
written
him
the
various
notes
and
invitations
he
had
seen
--
this
Sondra
Finchley
.
Also
had
not
the
captain
of
the
"
Cygnus
"
declared
that
he
had
seen
the
youth
who
had
come
down
from
Three
Mile
Bay
debark
there
?
Eureka
!
He
had
him
!
And
at
once
,
after
meditating
sharply
on
the
wisdom
of
his
course
,
he
decided
to
proceed
to
Sharon
and
Pine
Point
himself
But
in
the
meantime
being
furnished
with
an
accurate
description
of
Clyde
,
he
now
furnished
this
as
well
as
the
fact
that
he
was
wanted
for
murder
,
not
only
to
the
district
attorney
and
the
chief
of
police
of
Lycurgus
,
but
to
Newton
Slack
,
the
sheriff
at
Bridgeburg
,
as
well
as
to
Heit
and
his
own
assistant
,
urging
all
three
to
proceed
at
once
to
Sharon
,
where
he
would
meet
them
.
At
the
same
time
,
speaking
as
though
for
Mrs.
Peyton
,
he
now
called
upon
the
long
distance
telephone
the
Cranston
lodge
at
Pine
Point
,
and
getting
the
butler
on
the
wire
,
inquired
whether
Mr.
Clyde
Griffiths
chanced
to
be
there
.
"
Yes
sir
,
he
is
,
sir
,
but
he
's
not
here
now
,
sir
.
I
think
he
's
on
a
camping
party
farther
up
the
lake
,
sir
.
Any
message
,
sir
?
"
And
in
response
to
further
inquiries
,
he
replied
that
he
could
not
say
exactly
--
a
party
had
gone
,
presumably
,
to
Bear
Lake
some
thirty
miles
farther
up
,
but
when
it
would
return
he
could
not
say
--
not
likely
before
a
day
or
two
.
But
distinctly
this
same
Clyde
was
with
that
party
.
