_But at the trial it develops that the murderer dropped his
handkerchief, also two cards with name and address; also that a man
going for a doctor saw and recognized him; also that the janitor and
his wife saw him from the basement window; also that a couple on the
steps saw him distinctly; also that a man who couldn’t sleep looked
from the window and saw him; also that a tramp sleeping on a bench
awoke and saw him; also that a belated cab driver saw him plainly;
and also that the driver of a milk wagon saw him approaching the
scene of the crime._

THE TRACTION QUESTION IN A NUTSHELL
[Illustration:
“_I’ve made a careful study of the Traction Question, and if you hold
real still I’ll tell you the answer. If you think it over as
carefully as I have you’ll soon know just as much as I do. I used to
get up at three o’clock and sit in the dark thinking it out. I
didn’t dare light a light for fear Mr. Yerkes would find me and sell
me some stock. Finally, one morning, about half-past four I got it
all thought out except where the stockholders come in, and just then
Mr. Yerkes and Mrs. Chadwick rode in on two white giraffes with a
trunk full of stocks. So I ran down the street yelling, and some one
suggested a nice, quiet upholstered room where I would be safe. So I
came here and you mustn’t tell Mr. Yerkes where I am. And now I’ve
got it all thought out. You first have to multiply Port Arthur by
the new Chicago Post Office and carry two. Then you subtract and let
stand in a cool place until you become impatient, and that’s the
answer._”
