CHAPTER 20
•yRIS is not a- helpful, opening for
1 Robin, but he resolves to tell his
etory as naturally and accurately as
his nervj us state will allow him. He
counts 011 Its truth, and his own evi-
dent sincerity to help hlin with the
jury, who arc leaning forward In
thoir seats and. staring fixedly at
him as he speaks. He goes.on and
On; he tells the «une story he has
already told to both of- the Inspec-
tors He tells It quietly, set?lously,
even simply:, but the story Itself Is
fantastic, unbelievable. f|jf|
"I am guilty of nothing but pride.
1 My prldo alone, my damnable pride
has put me in this equivocal position
I have already been punished
enough i "
One' listener, at least. In that room
té Imptessed. And that'listener Robin
himself would have chosen from
among all In the room to listen to
him,'and to bellove him. It-is Lady
Gwendolen. Sho listeria tO his every
-Word, notes fits every gesture, his
simple, sometimes halting, sentences
which she Is conscious must come
straight from the heart: their vi-
brant quality touches some hidden
chords In her. and she is moved al-
most to tears. Surely, If It were all
a lip, he couldn't speak as he doe--
surcly. If It were all * lie; he couldn't
move her sol Poor Robin! How
could she havo laughed at him—was
it but yesterday ? It peoras ages "ago I
" Inspector Linscott of New Scot-
land Yard is next called.
"In answer to a wire from the
local constable you were sent down
from the Yard on the morning after
the murder?'" .
"I Was." „ • ■
"What time did you nrrlvo?"
"On the four-ten In the morning
and I was .here at the Manor ten
minutes later."
"What did you find here V
"I found your local constable who
had been telephoned to by Lady
Dorothy Alston's butler and who is
not present today bccause of UlnesB.
He had been summonod In about
midnight, and as sow as I arrived
1 he showed me the body Ih the exact
position In which he had fouttd It.
Nothing had been touchid."
"What did you do flr#t?"
"I took a general statement from
the constable, which included lnfor-
•-•itton given him by Doctor Mlddie-
¿ ' bury and Mr. Armstrong. Then he
and I made as, thorough ^an examtóa-
SIS2S/
lit, assisted only by
1- you see anything of oonse-
lf* : '■ :
The room was
the fact that
stood Wide
actual signs of a strugglo having
taken tdace." '
'What were your next proceed-
ings?"
"Owing to the information con-
tained in Mi*. Apnstrong's first
statement, which he had given to
the local constable, I first vent out-
side Into the garden and examined
the ground near and immediately
under Uie open window."
'.'What did you discover?"
"The" two footprints which , Mr,
Armstrong 'had seen on the night
before by the light ot the candle
were still plainly vlslblo. There was
also\ a larger Indentation near,
have slnee decided that this was
caused by the bag of Mr. Snjitth,
which ho throw from the window
before he himself, descended. The
footprints are undoubtedly his
havo tried a pálr of his shoes In
them and they fit exactly^"
Robin jumps. A pair of his shoes!
He has only ono pair arid they are
on his feet: Then It occurs to him
that one ftlght,\\when he put them
niituldn - rlrwir for
outside door for cleaning, the
detective must have borrowed them.
What else has been going on. he
wonders, as they twist the hemp for
the rope for the /final act He Is
gradually growing numb and he is
glad of this. He shot his last bolt
when he told his own story. He Is
worn out and IndifTereht . now.
Nothing seen to matter.
"And after that?" t
"I immediately got In touch with
the Yard, and having ' earned from
Lady Dorothy Alston Mr. Smith's
address In London, I asked to have
a man sent out there to examine
Mr. Smith's room and bring him
back to Alston. 1 felt t already had
something qf a prima fade case,"'
The coroner nods emphatically and
with evident agreement
1 "And then?"
"Then I interviewed Lady Dorothy
and as many of her guests as were
in a fit condition to sec mo at So
early an hour." /
"Y011 gave no more attention tó
v .
"Certainly, Immediately a ft e r
breakfast I ascertained the exact lo
cation of every room In the Manor
and the occupant of each. Then
,wont back to the small room on the
half-landing wliere the body had
been discovered before It wap re
moved. It was then I came upon a
ncW and rather surprising fact"
"What was that?''
The ipen of the Jury lean forward.
There Is something In the Inspector's
quiet voice which has excited the
curloálty of everyone In the room
Robin not the least
"Oh the five steps leading frorn
the first floor passage to the half-
landing from which this One small
room opened. I found blood."
f'Blood?" :J¡L
Two largo ana three smaller
«pots. They were quite dry when ~
discovered them."
"YOu think It was the blood of
the murdered man?'
"Just so. I believe It! spurted. at
the instant the knife was inserted,"
"Then you think the murder 00
purred on .the half-landing, not lit
the room?'' V ..
do,"
lit®*
m |p
"So It seems to me."
Robin's heart leaps at thoso, simple
words. Hope again rears her frail „„
head; his stupor is succeeded fey an
intense allveness and interest, f
"Do you then believe It possible
that the dead man should have been
in Mr. - Smith's room and gone un-
seop by him?" 1
"It Is barely possible; certainly no<
probable."
"What explanation have yon tor t
the fact that the body was foúnd in
Mr. Smith's room and the floor
locked?"
"I have no explanation."; A
-3|o Robin's surprise. Inspector Lin-
scott Is dismissed at this juncture
and Inspector Deemcr called.
. "You were sent to 92, Mocklen-
burgh Square, on the morning of
Juno the Sixteenth; that is. the
morning immediately following the
murder of Lord Winston?"
-"I was."
"Tell the Jury what yon found
there." \i ■
"I _ was admitted to the house,
which appeared to be a lodglnt-'
house, and wllljiiigly Shown by -the
maid to -Mr. Smith's rooini . I
knocked; and a cheery' masculine
voice, which I since have Identlfleii
as his, colled to me to enter. 1 did."
Here Inspector Decider relates the
first part of his interview with
Robin. He speaks of Robhi's stut-
tering and apparent nervousness, bpt
insists It Is not unnatural In the cir-
cumstances supposing he were Inno-
cent and this bis first intimo* ' *
tiiat a crime had taken place 1
Alston Manor. But despite lila in-
sistence. most of tho juryn.en look
dubious and make no effort to con-
ceal their feelings of scepticism.
"You, of course, made a carclul'.

"I did."
"And did you And anything of
moment?" , ' 1 ' '
"The room was small and very
bare except for a great number of
books and manuscripts. There was
nothing out of tho ordinary." \
"Did you examine tho bag-, ami
the clothing which Mr. Smith bad
n at Alston Manor?"
I did. The bag contaiued only
the «usual things."
"And the clothing?"
It Beams hours to RObln before In- '
spector Dcemer makes his reply.
The Clothing, that la tho wrist of
