"Of the murder."
"Partly, and of the will. Busham is not an easy man to deal with, and he is annoyed that old Moxton's money should go to Laura."
"How do you know it will go to her?"
"Laura told me she thought there was a will leaving it to her."
"M. Zirknitz," said Ellis, after a few moments of reflection, "will you answer a few questions?"
"Oh, yes, most certainly. I have much confidence in you, Dr. Ellis."
The other did not reciprocate this sentiment, but had sense enough to keep his doubts to himself. "You knew Moxton very well, I presume?"
"Oui da!" Zirknitz shrugged his shoulders; "but we were not friends. He was always drinking and quarrelling. I do not like such men."
"You disliked him?"
"No. I dislike no person. It is troublesome to do that."
