The next instant he pulled out a large bundle.
A cloud of soot fell down, and the detective was covered with it.
He paid no attention to it.
All of his thoughts were on that bundle, which he carried over to the center of the room.
Slowly he unwound the wrapper.
Then a long ulster was disclosed.
Carter shook out the folds.
A black slouch hat and a false beard fell to the floor.
Was it any wonder that the detective’s hands shook as he gazed upon and held this evidence?
He examined the ulster.
