“No chance there,” he said.
“But, how then did they enter?” asked Mr. Leonard, anxiously. “They must have found some means of access from without.”
“They must have made entry into the store in some way, and then have worked down into the cellar.”
“We have examined the doors and windows. They do not seem to have been tampered with.”
“I will take a look at them,” said the officer. “Who opens the store in the morning?”
“Mr. Brown, the man you see at work there, usually.”
“And closes it at night, I suppose?”
“Yes.”
“Does anybody else carry the keys?”
“Occasionally. But Brown had them on the night of the robbery.”
