CHAPTER XXV.
WHO KILLED JOSEF SIEBEL.
While Van Vernet was following after the two women, the carriage with the restless horses moved slowly past the Warburton dwelling.
An observer might have noted that the face of the crape-draped occupant was pressed close against the oval window, in the rear of the vehicle, watching the direction taken by Van Vernet. Then, suddenly, this individual leaned forward and said to the driver:
“Around the corner, Jim, and turn.”
The order was promptly obeyed.
“Now back, Jim,” said this fickle-minded person. Then as the carriage again rounded the corner: “You see that fellow in policeman’s uniform, Jim?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Follow him.”
