All aboard!” The guards who hud charge of the London local which wus due W stop ui Hackney shortly after flI o'clock in the evening, were even jnsiatent than usual in their deZndaonenlghtintbe summer. for the m W as already late, und trying to ke up time. But a cry of eonsteruutlon from one of the men who wus bearding the train brought the at- | tPll (lants flocking around him. ■'Look I” he cried, pointing through •he glass of the compartment toward the cushions of the seat on the fur dde. My Ood * ,uan! 1,0111 > ,,u se e? They are soaked with blood! Atal there’s a man's walking stick and i black leather bag! Where’s the occupant of this compartment?” That was the question which puzzled every member of the London police force, and especially Col! James Iraser, head of the department. Where was the man who had very evidently been murdered In the coach? Who was he? The black bag contained no Informagon whatever, and the walking stick was merely an ordinary one, lucking even initials. The guard who had , charge of that car said that he i -eeiiied to recall two men getting into I that compartment at Fenchurst street, ■ in London,” but he wasn't sure. | When Colonel Fraser examined the ear carefully, however, he found the print of a bloody hand—a hand with short, squat lingers—on the Wi.ll of the coach, evidently where the murderer hud steadied himself after committing the crime. But where was the body? This angle of the case was soon cleared up by the discovery of the body of a man near the railroad tracks in Victoria park. The head si.d face had been so disfigured that Identification would have been almost impossible, had it not been for the card which was found in his vest !«>'ket. By means of tids it was found that the demi man wus a certain Thomas Briggs, chief clerk of a London bunking house, who bad been •ii his way to visit ids daughter in Peckham. According to ids associates. he was in the habit of carrying a Considerable sum of money with him. and also wore a .very handsome watch and chain. When the body ■ i- discovered, however, the watch, • bain and the money were missing. Immediately after the body was dis- ; covered Colonel Fraser measured the ringers of the left hand, but found that ■■•tliey were entirely too long and well ' shaped to fit the bloMy Itnprlrft on the wail of the coach. Pinning- his faith to the fact that the murderer would probably try to sell Brigg's watch and chain, the police settled down to watch all the pawn brokers in and around London, but days passed without any developments from tins end of the case. Finally, just as Fraser was nearing the end of Ids patience a second-hand dealer In Cheapside reported that a • lialn. similar to the, one worn by he dead man. hud been brought Into his establishment on the day after the murder. The chain, lie said, bad been placed in with some others, and had I cd his mind, until he commenced to go over hi.s stock. The only derlptlon he could give of the man who sold it was that 1 he was “forelgn""klng.” tn fact he felt certain he was a German. More in order to quiet the press than because he attached any real Imnortance to the discovery, Colonel 1-raser made public the details of the dealer’s story, and the following morning a man called at police headquarters, bringing with him a card which he said his daughter had found on the floor of the room recently occupied'by i ranz Muller. The card bore the name of the second-hand dealer who! Imd purchased the chain! Muller, stated Fraser'p informant, "as n German who had boarded in his house for some time past, but wiio 'ad suddenly disappeared, leaving ,!| nst of ids effects behind him. I’ltlnt happen to leave a photo'■Tßph, did he?” “Yes, sir, he did. Here it is,” and the man produced a picture which the , i-econd hand dealer Immediately Idea- I titled ns the man who had sold him l he chain. ; It was a matter of only a few hours f m trace t * le German to a steamshin ; "mce and to find that he had sailed, | i honrs before, for America. Wish-1 Jig his own men to have credit for! i 1 10 ’’apture. Fraser dispatched two of i ' 'em to New York on a fast botit, I * ■'nd when Muller stepped off the j gangplank he was arrested for the ■ murder of Thomas Briggs, although he. ' gorously protested his Innocence,! ■a state<l Gmt he had bought the [ 'main from a man on the street.
