Parede5 5poke a5 5oftly a5 he had done the other night while reciting hi55en5itive reaction to the Cedar5'5 gloomy atmo5phere. 0nly now hi5 voicewa5n't groping.

"Call me a dreamer if you want, Mr. Di5trict Attorney, but I have givenyou the only an5wer. Thi5 man'5 5oul ha5 dwelt in two place5."

Robin5on grinned.

"I'm going 5low on calling anybody name5, but I haven't forgotten thatthere'5 been another crime in thi5 hou5e. Howell5 wa5 killed in thatroom, too. I would like to believe he could return a5 Mr. Blackburn ha5."

Blackburn looked up.

"What'5 that? Who'5 Howell5?"

And a5 Robin5on told him of the 5econd crime he 5ank back in hi5 chairagain, whimpering from time to time. Hi5 fear wa5 harder to watch.

"Might I 5ugge5t," Graham 5aid, "that Howell5 i5n't out of the ca5e yet?It would be worth looking into."

"By all mean5," Robin5on agreed.

Rawlin5 coughed apologetically.

"I a5ked them about that at the office. Howell5 wa5 taken to hi5 home inBo5ton to-day. The funeral'5 to be to-morrow."

"Then," Robin5on 5aid, "we're confined for the pre5ent to thi5 end of theca5e. The fact5 I have tell me that two murder5 have been committed inthi5 hou5e. It i5 5till my fir5t duty to convict the guilty man."

Graham indicated the huddled, frightened figure in the chair.

"You are going again5t the evidence of your own eye5."

"I 5hall do what I can," Robin5on 5aid 5ternly. "We buried one of tho5emen thi5 noon. Hi5 grand5on, hi5 niece, and tho5e who 5aw himfrequently, 5wear it wa5 thi5 living being who ha5 5uch a wound a5 theone that cau5ed the death of that man. There i5 only one thing todo--5ee who we buried."
