And
then
an
inspiration
!
He
would
take
Clyde
and
,
although
the
law
specifically
guaranteed
accused
persons
against
compulsions
,
compel
him
to
retrace
the
scenes
of
his
crime
.
And
although
he
might
not
be
able
to
make
him
commit
himself
in
any
way
,
still
,
once
on
the
ground
and
facing
the
exact
scene
of
his
crime
,
his
actions
might
reveal
something
of
the
whereabouts
of
the
suit
,
perhaps
,
or
possibly
some
instrument
with
which
he
had
struck
her
.
And
in
consequence
,
on
the
third
day
following
Clyde
's
incarceration
,
a
second
visit
to
Big
Bittern
,
with
Kraut
,
Heit
,
Mason
,
Burton
,
Burleigh
,
Earl
Newcomb
and
Sheriff
Slack
as
his
companions
,
and
a
slow
re-canvassing
of
all
the
ground
he
had
first
traveled
on
that
dreadful
day
.
And
with
Kraut
,
following
instructions
from
Mason
,
"
playing
up
"
to
him
,
in
order
to
ingratiate
himself
into
his
good
graces
,
and
possibly
cause
him
to
make
a
clean
breast
of
it
.
For
Kraut
was
to
argue
that
the
evidence
,
so
far
was
so
convincing
that
you
"
never
would
get
a
jury
to
believe
that
you
did
n't
do
it
,
"
but
that
,
"
if
you
would
talk
right
out
to
Mason
,
he
could
do
more
for
you
with
the
judge
and
the
governor
than
any
one
could
--
get
you
off
,
maybe
,
with
life
or
twenty
years
,
while
this
way
you
're
likely
to
get
the
chair
,
sure
.
"
Yet
Clyde
,
because
of
that
same
fear
that
had
guided
him
at
Bear
Lake
,
maintaining
a
profound
silence
.
For
why
should
he
say
that
he
had
struck
her
,
when
he
had
not
--
intentionally
at
least
?
Or
with
what
,
since
no
thought
of
the
camera
had
come
up
as
yet
.
At
the
lake
,
after
definite
measurements
by
the
county
surveyor
as
to
the
distance
from
the
spot
where
Roberta
had
drowned
to
the
spot
where
Clyde
had
landed
,
Earl
Newcomb
suddenly
returning
to
Mason
with
an
important
discovery
.
For
under
a
log
not
so
far
from
the
spot
at
which
Clyde
had
stood
to
remove
his
wet
clothes
,
the
tripod
he
had
hidden
,
a
little
rusty
and
damp
,
but
of
sufficient
weight
,
as
Mason
and
all
these
others
were
now
ready
to
believe
,
to
have
delivered
the
blow
upon
Roberta
's
skull
which
had
felled
her
and
so
make
it
possible
for
him
to
carry
her
to
the
boat
and
later
drown
her
.
Yet
,
confronted
with
this
and
turning
paler
than
before
,
Clyde
denying
that
he
had
a
camera
or
a
tripod
with
him
,
although
Mason
was
instantly
deciding
that
he
would
re-question
all
witnesses
to
find
out
whether
any
recalled
seeing
a
tripod
or
camera
in
Clyde
's
possession
.
And
before
the
close
of
this
same
day
learning
from
the
guide
who
had
driven
Clyde
and
Roberta
over
,
as
well
as
the
boatman
who
had
seen
Clyde
drop
his
bag
into
the
boat
,
and
a
young
waitress
at
Grass
Lake
who
had
seen
Clyde
and
Roberta
going
out
from
the
inn
to
the
station
on
the
morning
of
their
departure
from
Grass
Lake
,
that
all
now
recalled
a
"
yellow
bundle
of
sticks
,
"
fastened
to
his
bag
which
must
have
been
the
very
tripod
.
And
then
Burton
Burleigh
deciding
that
it
might
not
really
have
been
the
tripod
,
after
all
with
which
he
had
struck
her
but
possibly
and
even
probably
the
somewhat
heavier
body
of
the
camera
itself
,
since
an
edge
of
it
would
explain
the
wound
on
the
top
of
the
head
and
the
flat
surface
would
explain
the
general
wounds
on
her
face
.
And
because
of
this
conclusion
,
without
any
knowledge
on
the
part
of
Clyde
,
however
,
Mason
securing
divers
from
among
the
woodsmen
of
the
region
and
setting
them
to
diving
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
spot
where
Roberta
's
body
had
been
found
,
with
the
result
that
after
an
entire
day
's
diving
on
the
part
of
six
--
and
because
of
a
promised
and
substantial
reward
,
one
Jack
Bogart
arose
with
the
very
camera
which
Clyde
,
as
the
boat
had
turned
over
,
had
let
fall
.
Worse
,
after
examination
it
proved
to
contain
a
roll
of
films
,
which
upon
being
submitted
to
an
expert
chemist
for
development
,
showed
finally
to
be
a
series
of
pictures
of
Roberta
,
made
on
shore
--
one
sitting
on
a
log
,
a
second
posed
by
the
side
of
the
boat
on
shore
,
a
third
reaching
up
toward
the
branches
of
a
tree
--
all
very
dim
and
water-soaked
but
still
decipherable
.
And
the
exact
measurements
of
the
broadest
side
of
the
camera
corresponding
in
a
general
way
to
the
length
and
breadth
of
the
wounds
upon
Roberta
's
face
,
which
caused
it
now
to
seem
positive
that
they
had
discovered
the
implement
wherewith
Clyde
had
delivered
the
blows
.
Yet
no
trace
of
blood
upon
the
camera
itself
.
And
none
upon
the
side
or
bottom
of
the
boat
,
which
had
been
brought
to
Bridgeburg
for
examination
.
And
none
upon
the
rug
which
had
lain
in
the
bottom
of
the
boat
.
In
Burton
Burleigh
there
existed
as
sly
a
person
as
might
have
been
found
in
a
score
of
such
backwoods
counties
as
this
,
and
soon
he
found
himself
meditating
on
how
easy
it
would
be
,
supposing
irrefragable
evidence
were
necessary
,
for
him
or
any
one
to
cut
a
finger
and
let
it
bleed
on
the
rug
or
the
side
of
the
boat
or
the
edge
of
the
camera
.
Also
,
how
easy
to
take
from
the
head
of
Roberta
two
or
three
hairs
and
thread
them
between
the
sides
of
the
camera
,
or
about
the
rowlock
to
which
her
veil
had
been
attached
.
And
after
due
and
secret
meditation
,
he
actually
deciding
to
visit
the
Lutz
Brothers
morgue
and
secure
a
few
threads
of
Roberta
's
hair
.
For
he
himself
was
convinced
that
Clyde
had
murdered
the
girl
in
cold
blood
.
