"Aha!" said Mr. Kilsip, cautiously.
"Don't know him," answered the other, coolly; "family name Humbug, I presume. Bosh! Whom do you suspect?"
Kilsip looked round cautiously, as if to make sure they were alone, and then said, in a stage whisper—
"Roger Moreland!"
"That was the young man that gave evidence as to how Whyte got drunk?"
Kilsip nodded.
"Well, and how do you connect him with the murder?"
"Do you remember in the evidence given by the cabmen, Royston and Rankin, they both swore that the man who was with Whyte on that night wore a diamond ring on the forefinger of the right hand?"
"What of that? Nearly every second man in Melbourne wears a diamond ring?"
"But not on the forefinger of the right hand."
