"You went with Herr Rowland this afternoon to the Haupt Bahnhof with Drelich to present the check and recover the bag?"
"I did. It was not there. Someone had taken it."
"Do you know Herr Berghof?"
"I met him today."
"You have proof that he took the bag?"
"Yes. The woman at the house of Drelich saw him enter the room early in the morning where Drelich lay drunk. She knew Berghof well for he was Drelich's employer."
"And Berghof took the check from the pocket of Drelich while he slept?"
"Yes. She saw him, through the crack of the door into the kitchen."
"Thanks, Madame. That will be all." And then turning to a man near the platform, "Herr Yaeger, if you please."
The Committeeman rose awkwardly and stood.
