The body was taken from the morgue and was buried from Mr. Dalton's house, Lizzie and Mason being the chief mourners.
The Bradys had found out who Mr. Dalton's lawyer was.
Having called on him and explained their suspicions of Mason, they asked him if he had seen Mr. Dalton's will.
He told them that Mason had given it to him that morning, with a request that it be read at the house that afternoon.
It was then sealed up and according to Mason's story, had been in Mr. Dalton's safe a long time, in the Broad street office.
"We must hear the contents of that will," said Old King Brady. "As Mason is an unscrupulous man, we fear he may have tampered with it."
"You might disguise yourselves and go with me," suggested the lawyer. "I could tell Mason you were called on as witnesses."
"Very well. What time are you going there?"
"I'll leave here at four o'clock."
"We shall be on hand to go with you."
