"No. When did it happen?"
"This morning a shot was heard in his chamber. A servant ran in and found him lifeless."
"Was it here in the hotel?"
"No. Fortunately he moved to Condamine yesterday."
"What was the cause?"
"How am I to know?" answered she, impatiently.
"So far as I have heard he was not given to play."
"No. They found money on his person."
"You relieved him of his duties yesterday?"
"Yes; but at his own request."
