deposit vault, when right beneath him on the floor below is the
custodian of property taken from prisoners with a vault having a
combination lock. Did you ever hear of a policeman taking a
revolver and two old knives worth 10 cents to the Fidelity Bank
because he was responsible for the property? He never says a word
about it until last Monday, and he shows them to Conklin. And,
mirabile dictu!--he says he carried those knives for two years; one
of them he found on the street: he put one on the mantel, and the
Doctor carried one of them in his vest and one in his pants. He
just knew exactly where the Doctor carried these knives. If you
have two knives you do not trouble yourselves about where you carry
them; but Conklin knew that the Doctor had one knife in his vest
and the other in his pants. Don't you see what remarkable feats

were urged here, what do you suppose was urged upon them outside?
Next comes the man Mertes. Owls can see by night, and he says he
saw these men enter the cottage and then tells you all about it.
Mrs. Hoertel has a remarkable memory. She is in the habit of going
out to find her husband who is drunk, and knew certain saloons that
he frequented. It was no unusual thing for her to find her husband,
but on this night she knows just what streets she went along and
just where she turned the corners. She is searching for her
husband, and she goes to a saloon, does not see him there, but she
looks at the clock and sees that it was exactly eight o'clock, and
she will never forget the circumstance that it was exactly eight
o'clock. She has got to remember that it was eight o'clock or she
will run afoul of Mertes, and they both remember the same thing.
She says she saw him enter the c
