(C o p y righted, 18S9, by O. M. Dunham. Published by special arrangement through The American Press Association.5 CHAPTER I. “ m u r d e r ! m u r d e r ! !” HE place was Union square; the time, an hour after midnight. T h r e e men, leaving three different points on the square, met a little north of the monument of Washington. One of them left the corner of Fifteenth street and Fourth avenue, and walked in the direction of Fourteenth street and Broadway; an other left tlie oi truer of Fourteenth street and Broadway, and walked in the direction of Fifteenth street and Fourth avenue. These two met closely, having walked on the same line in opposite di rections. The third left the corner of Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue and walked in tlie direction of the park, on a line with the monument. When the other two met, the third had Only reached as far as the iron rail ing which insures the father of his country the uninterrupted enjoyment of that ride upon which he set out some thirty or forty years ago; he had loitered along with the air of one who had no purpose in his walk, smoking with leis urely puffs. The other two walked briskly. ' But the third, having the shorter dis tance to go, was near enough to see the man who had come from Fifteenth street and Fourth avenue stop short as he was about to pass the other, catch h im by the arm and peer sharply in his face, and heard these words: “It is you, is it? Then take this.” At the same moment, the man at the railing saw a glittering flash in the n ight, an uplifted atm brought down sw iftly, heard a blow—a groan, saw a body fall ing to the ground, and a man quickly disappear into the park. Dazed by the rapid action of this trag edy, enacted almost at his very feet, he clung to the iron railing and shouted, “Murder! Murder!!” The square, which but a moment be fore seemed to have no occupants but the three, was quickly thronged. There were hotels and drinking saloons on two sides, cabmen .sleeping on their boxes and tramps, plenty, in the park, for it was a summer’s night in August. These produced a crowd, while a po liceman came running from Fourteenth street. “W ho did this?” demanded the officer, casting a glance a t the fallen man. No one answered. He examined the body. “The man is dead,” he exclaimed. He lifted the arm of the victim. “Heavens! The knife is still sticking in him. Did any one see this?” “Yes, I did,” said the man who had first shouted “ murder.” Then he told what he had seen. “Stand here till I can take your name and address,” said the policeman, “but I must have help.” H e rapped several times on the pave ment with his long night club; the sig nal was promptly answered from differ ent quarters; among others who came was the sergeant. After he had heard all that could be told him he dispatched an officer for the coroner. Then he asked the name of him w h o had given the alarm. “Albert W essing,” was the reply. “W ell, Mr. W essing, I suppose you w ill not like it, but you will have to go with me to the station house. Don’t leave. You are a valuable witness—the only one who saw the deed committed.” Before the valuable witness could re ply two things occurred. From each side a man forced his way to the spot where lay the body. One, who came from the Fourth avenue side, had a loose coat thrown over his night shirt; his bare feet were thrust into slip pers, and his suspenders were gathered around the waistband of his trousers like a belt; he had evidently dressed with great haste. As he cam e forward he said; “No, not the only witness, for I saw the blow.” “Where were you?” sharply queried the sergeant. “Looking out of the window of m y room,” replied the newcomer, pointing to the Union Square hotel. “I was pre pared for bed, but I threw on some clothes and came down.” Then, perceiving that the sergeant scru tinized him, he added: “Have no fear concerning me, ser geant; I am w ell known in the city. I am a practicing lawyer; m y name is Henry Holbrook; I have lived a long tim e at that hotel. The night clerk w ill vouch for me.” “Yes,” said th# man beside him, “he gave the alarm in the hotel as he came rushing down stairs.” This satisfied the sergeant, for he rec ognized in the man the n ight clerk o£ the hotel. 1 “But w h y have you not searched the ■was woke up by this ere feller hollerin' ‘Murder.’ ” “Two of you search the park,” or dered the sergeant. “That should have been” ------ “Great Heavens! It is Mr. Temple ton!” This interruption came from the one who had come from the Broadway side; he had been bending over the prostrate body, and as the two officers moved off at the command of the sergeant, they had opened the ranks of those crowding about, thus enabling the light to shine upon the dead man’s face. “W ho are you?” demanded the ser geant, grasping the arm of the new comer as he straightened up. The policeman who had come first at the cry of murder recognized the speaker. Sliding up to the superior officer he said; “He’s all right, sergeant; I know him; head barkeeper over here on the corner —Morton house.” Then, moved by the recollection of sundry sly imbibationsf he added: “A perfect gentleman.” “Oh!” saiJ the sergeant. ‘ ‘W ho is Mr. Templeton? W hat do you know about him?” “Not very much,” replied the bar keeper. “Comes into our place pretty often. Usually stops in on' his way up town o f an afternoon. Sometimes comes in at night, but not often. He was in our place half an hour ago.” “ Had he been drinking?” “ Not much in our place.” “Was he intoxicated?” “Oh no, lie never gets drunk. Very careful drinker. There were some friends with him. They all went out to gether.” “ Was there any quarreling among them?” “ No, very friendly and jolly.” “Still it might have been one of them who knifed him .” “ N o,” said Holbrook, “I saw this man standing on tho corner of Fourteenth Street and Broadway. He parted from them and came this way; the others went down Fourteenth street toward the North river. The arc lights made every thing clear to mej and there were few people in the square.” “Yes, that is so,” remarked Wessing. street and Broadway. I followed him until h e w a s lost to m y eyes in the trees. I A s he ran hq threw off a coat.” i “Yes,” said a frowsy tramp, “I saw a man running through the park when I CHAPTER II. THE CORONER TAKES CHARGE. i&HE coroner came up at this mo ment and the ser geant gave him all the facts in h is possession. The official, w ho was a physician, e x a m i n e d the body. “Death was in stantaneous,” he said; “the knife passed b e t w e e n the ribs and pierc- j ed the heart; a powerful b low.” The tw o police men who had gone into the park return ed. They brought w ith them a pair of trousers, a coat and a hat; they h ad been found a t different places, but on a line w ith the supposed flight o f the murder er; first the coat, then the trousers and lastly the hat—tossed on one side or the other, on the grass. The coroner closely examined them, and then handed them to the sergeant. There was nothing whatever in the pock ets. They were of cheap quality, such as you see in front of Chatham street cloth ing stores on wire frames, marked six, eight and ten dollars the suit. Apparently they had never been worn before, for the creases, which come from being folded in piles on the counters, were still in them. “W o m for thepurposeof being thrown off,” commented the sergeant, “Where is the vest?” “W e didn’t find any.” “Look again.” The two officers moved off to obey the order. “Has ifche body been searched?” asked the coroner. “No.” “Then search it.” Little was revealed. A, handkerchief, a pair of kid gloves, a card case filled with cards, bearing the name of “James Holroyd Templeton,” a receipted tailor’s bill, a wallet containing memoranda, de scriptions of real estate in various parts of the city, a gold toothpick, ninety-one dollars in bills, less than a dollar in silver change, a gold watch and chain, a few oigars. These articles were placed in the hand kerchief, tied up, and given to the coro ner. “The body may be removed, sergeant,” said the coroner. “Have the clothes taken to the station house. Have you the names and addresses of the w it nesses?”' “Yes; also the names of those who were last with the deceased.” “That is w ell.” “Except the address of this man,” turning to W essing, who had never left the side of the sergeant. “I am a-stranger in the city,” he re plied. “I live in Philadelphia; I came from there this evening.” “You came last night.” “Yes, since this is tbe morning, a new day.” “Where are you stopping?” W essing hesitated. This made the sergeant suspicious. “The truth is, sergeant,” said Wessing, “I have not taken lodgings yet. My va lise is over there at that hotel,” pointing to Fourteenth street. “I was about to take a turn in the park, smoke m y cigar and then g o back to take a room.” “Um. \Well I w ill accommodate you with lodgings for the rest of the night.” “W h y ,” said Holbrook, .“he saw no more than I did.” “That m ay be,” replied the sergeant, grimly, “but h e may know more than you do. A t a ll events, he must give a better 1 account of himself than he has yet done.” ! This made W essing smile. ! “ That I w ill do, but I prefer doing it at the station house rather than in this crowd.” i “ W ell, let us go.” I “ I w ill go, too,” said Holbrook, who was strongly attracted by Wessing. “As you please,” rejoined the ser geant; then turning to an officer he said: “W atch the body; I w ill send a litter to you as soon as I can.” ( Arriving at the station house, aAer all I had been excluded except the coroner and Holbrook, W essing gave a straiglit- ' forward account of his coming into the : city from Philadelphia the night previ- : ous, and his determination not to regis- ter himself at any hotel until after he ' had taken something to eat; that having i eaten at an eating house on Fourteenth j street and lit a cigar, he thought lie i would smoke it in the park and cool off ; before he returned to the hotel, i He gave names and addresses in Phil adelphia whereby his statements could be verified by telegraph. The sergeant, however, determined to hold him until verification could be , made. To this Wessing acquiesced so readily that Holbrook was convinced lie hud , nothing to fear from investigation. Bo expressing himself, he remarked to the sergeant: “ Be careful you do not have a suit for false imprisonment on your hands.” This made the sergeant uneasy. The coroner laughed, but would say nothing to relieve tlie officer. “Have no fear,” said Wessing. “you are only doing your duty.” This complaisance m <-or, for W essing the captain’s room for the night rather than a cell. Holbrook, having nothing to detain him, went away. When he reached the square he went over to the spot where the murder had been done. He had no purpose in going there; an irresistible impulse—a strong fascination—drew him thither. The square w a s deserted again and quiet reigned. The revelers had gone back to their haunts, the tramps to their benches in the park, the “ n ight haw k s” slept again on their boxes, while they awaited the belated ones who might re quire their services. The moon shone brightly. The silence was oppressive; un broken only at intervals by tbe snatches of drunken song in the distance and the occasional rumble o f the trains on Third avenue. Holbrook meditated on the uncertainty of life. The man Templeton was young, Strong, in health, and in a moment he had been struck down and was dead. He walked the streets late at night himself at times, and the same fate m ight as easily have been his. But this manifestly was not a murder for the purpose o f rob bery. And was it a wanton blow struck in sheer wickedness through lust for blood? Hardly such things do not occur in our civilization. There was a motive for the act, a strong one doubtless. The discovery o f the motive would lead to the discovery of the murderer. The first effort o f the police would doubtless he to discover that motive. As he stood something sparkled, under the sudden flaring o f a distant electric light, at h iB feet. H e picked up the shining object. It w a s a cuff button—a round, gold button w ith a diamond imbedded in its top. . H o lbraek looked about him. The m u rdered m an m u st have lain upon it. “W hen was that lost?” he muttered to himself. “Does it have any connec tion w ith this murder?” “Pshaw,” he added, “it m ay have lain there all night. But stop! The street sweeping machine passed over this spot twenty minutes or less before the two m et and would have swept it away.” H e exam ined it closely. “The button belongs to a man who oommands money and is particular in’ his dress. Good! Bar keepers and po licemen do not wear diamond buttons o f j this kind, nor cabbies, nor tramps sleep- I ing in the park, nor indeed many law yers. It belonged either to the mur- j dered man or his murderer.” j He felt pleased, w ith himself and ; thought he would make a shrewd de- ! tective. j * ‘Perhaps it belongs to the coroner,” he j said aloud. “Not probable,” he added, on another thought. “A coroner awak- ' ened in the middle of the night to v iew a body recently killed would hardly ar ray himself with diamond buttons. At j all events I suppose I must turn it over ! to the authorities. In the meantime I • shall go to bed.” i He put the button in his purse and en- j tered his hotel. 1 It was a curious coincidence that at i the moment Holbrook picked up the but- | ton a young man of fashion, who had j just returned from bis club to his apart- : ments, half a m ile distant, took off his : coat and discovered that the buttonholes | of his right cuff were torn out and his j cuff button gone. I He looked at it a moment, muttered an , oath and asked himself, “How was that . done?” 1 Then he proceeded w ith his disrobing. CHAPTER III. A NEW CHARACTER ENTERS. H E N Holbrook l e f t the station house the coroner and the sergeant e n t e r e d into a consultation as to the best method of procedure. T h e sergeant thought he saw an opportunity tv gain c r e d i t to himself b y t h e speedy discovery of the murderer, and he Was anxious that as much progress as Was possible should be made a t once. He was compelled by the rules of the department to inform the central office of the crime at once. He had done so, but he hoped the headquarters detectives would not stir in the matter until- later in the day, when he hoped to have made much progress. He had already concocted a theory;, i but he was anxious to hear what the coroner, who was a* m an of great com mon sense and no little experience, had to say. The trouble was, tlie coroner had a theory too, and no idea o f giving the ser geant the benefit of his brains, though he was anxious to know what the ser geant thought. It can be imagined, therefore, that t neither said very significant things, and , that each approached the other diplo- j m atically.. “A mysterioufccase, sergeant.” ! “Very; something different from the usual drunken brawl.” ! “Yes; likely to give us much trouble.” j “A long examination; little to go upon j in tlie beginning, anyhow.” j “Unless the examination of the friends - the man was w ith last develops some thing.” “Perhaps it w ill.” ’ This sort of sparring not having brought forth any tiling, they were silent for a short time, when the sergeant put in a feeler. “What eould have been the motive?” Tlie coroner returned the ball. “It could not have been robbery, evi dently.” “At all events there was no attempt made.” “ U nless after the blow tlie-man was frightened by tlie cry of W essing.” “That’s one view of it, certainly.” This having brought forth nothing, the coroner math- a Fad. “ Htill it could ,ii ,t have had robbery for if purpose. You see both Holbrook and We.—ing say th e man was about to pa.-s v I c n ho ;-toj>i>o.l Miovi and laid, ‘ft is you, is it;’ that shows he kn>-\v the man Templeton. No. it was i:ot rob bery.” “That was what I was thinking; if it hail been robbery, even if lie had known him lie would have said nothing. As a matter of fact it seems to m --1 hut it was an accidental m. < ting—that R the man was not wavlaying him.” “ Oh, do you think so? That would make it all the more difficult.” “Unless W essing was in tho job and gave the signal from the other corner.” “I shouldn’t wonder if you had hit it straight now.” This was what the coro ner said aloud; what he thought was, “My friend the sergeant has gone off on the wrong tack; so this is his theory, eh?’ The sergeant thought, “If he won’t talk he can’t pump me, and so I’ll g ive him that little misleader.” This game o f verbal chess m ight have long continued, if it had not been inter rupted by the arrival of the reporters, who had been aroused by the receipt of the news at the Central office. Among them was one reputed to be very shrewd, and who was credited with, having tracked more than one crime home, where the police authorities had failed. * He was known as Tom Bryan. W hen the others hurried off w ith their information he remained, asking permis sion to write his report at the desk. _ He wrote hurriedly; the coroner, who had been detained by the reporters, pro posed to go home for the night. As he was about to leave, Bryan asked: “Do you think W essing to be connect ed with this crime?” “No,” replied the coroner unguard edly. The sergeant said to himself, “Hang it, I didn't g ive him a ‘stiff’ after all.” The coroner could have bitten off his tongue for hia carelessness. “W h y do you hold him then?’ said Bryan. “Because he ref used to tell his busi ness in New York city,” replied the ser geant. “That's hard,” commented the report er. “It isn’t everybody who wants to make his business public. It would be very tough on me if I had to tell m y business every tim e I entered a strange town.” This increased the uneasiness of the sergeant, who doubted the wisdom of detaining the man, and it was he who had taken the responsibility, not the cor oner. “ Oh,” said the coroner, “we have the right to detain him as a witness.” The sergeant felt better; the responsi bility now rested on the coroner as well; nevertheless h e proposed another visit to their prisoner. “I do not know w h y I should not tell you,” said Wessing; “I do not want to get into the papers. W h y, you w ill ap preciate it when I tell you. Here is the reason o f m y visit: A short time ago a gentleman, one Charles Pierson, a weal thy man, died in this city leaving a large property, but neither children nor w ill.” “I know the case,” said the sergeant. “My mother, for certain reasons, be lieves she is the nearest heir, if not the sole one—that is, she thinks she is a rela tive. I have come to New York at her request, first, to identify the deceased man with our relative if I can, and, hav ing established the identification, to de termine whether my mother is an heir. I have so little faith in the enterprise myself, I don't want any publicity; and again, publicity would not help m y search, if there was anything in it. These facts you can verify by telegraph ing to m y mother or tlie lawyer we con sulted. He is a man of high standing a t the Philadelphia bar. I’ll give you the addresses whenever you want them.” The sergeant and the coroner consulted, and the coroner said: “Mr. W essing, your statements w ill be verified, and if found to be true, we shall not detain you; but we shall exact the promise that you w ill not leave the cikf until after you have given your W ,i- mony at the inquest.” The promise was readily given. The coroner left, and the sergeant found Bryan waiting for him. “This w ill turn out to be a mysterious case, sergeant,” said Bryan. “I hope to have track o f it by to-mor row night.” “I don’t think you will. I know some thing o f this man Templeton. He was an upright man, not given to dissipation, or to having alliances which would bring him into trouble. H e was a real estate broker, doing a fair business, living quiet- ly, going into society somewhat and into the best, fond of the theatre, but not of the actresses. A reputable man. No, you w ill have to look deep for the mo tive of this crime.” The sergeant stood somewhat in awe of the reporter, for lie believed in his shrewdness and experience. “You think then the murderer way laid him?” he asked. “ No, I do not; the meeting was acci dental, but I think he had it in for Tem pleton. It was bound to come when they met.” “W h y do you think so?” “The circumstances surrounding the ieed, the remark of the murderer shows surprise at the meeting. The deed shows it was intended—the remark does too.” “I agree with you there.” “You have no clews?” “The wallet containing the memo randa o f engagements may furnish one.” “No good; they relate to his ’daily business.” The sergeant looked annoyed. “There is the knife.” “Properly worked that may amount to something.” “Then there are the clothes found in the park.” “ Let me see them .” The ■sergeant brought them out. “ Never worn but once and but for a short time. ( h eap.” lie handed them back. “Tin -re is < me clew you have not spoken of,” said the reporter.
