"No, he was uncommunicative, and spoke very little English. The only persons who had much to do with him were the storekeepers of whom he bought supplies for the house."
"And the woman?"
"Her name was Itsu San, I believe. I only saw her once, and that was in the yard back of the house. She appeared young, and was very pretty for a Jap, I guess. She is the first Jap woman I ever saw."
"What were her duties?"
"She was Miss Mowbray's maid, while Joy was the cook."
"And you say they are gone?"
"Yes. I saw Joy about eight o'clock, but when I searched the house after the discovery of the body they were not there, and I could find nothing that belonged to them."
"What are you going to do now?"
"I'm going to hit Farnsworth's trail, and I won't leave it till I run him down and send him to the gallows."
"I don't think you will."
