"By the evidence of the tramp Battersea."
"Battersea!" repeated the doctor, and for the first time he frowned.
"Yes. He saw you place the body in your brougham, with the assistance of Dido. He followed you to Deanminster, and saw you take the body into your house."
"Really! But all this evidence is circumstantial. Have you searched my house?"
"We intend doing so."
"I am afraid you will have your trouble for nothing," rejoined Etwald, coolly. "Moreover, you can't arrest me without actual proof."
"I can arrest you on suspicion," said Arkel, rising with his warrant, "and I arrest you now in the Queen's name."
"On what charge?"
"On the charge of stealing the body of Maurice Alymer."
"Oh, then," said Etwald, turning toward Jen, "I am not to be accused of the murder."
