"Day before yesterday."
"You are sure it was Mr. Warren?"
"Yes, sir. I have known him by sight for a longtime."
"About the tickets—what did he buy?"
"Two tickets and a drawing-room on No. 29 for New York—due to leave at 11.55 last night."
"You're sure he bought two tickets and a drawing-room? Or was it one ticket?"
"It had to be two. We can't sell a drawing-room unless the purchaser has double transportation."
"You delivered both tickets to him personally?"
"Yes, sir—gave them both to him."
From the ticket office Carroll went back to headquarters, and from there to the coroner's office, and, accompanied by that dignitary, to the undertaking establishment where the body was being kept under police guard. Nothing had yet been touched. The inquest had resulted in a verdict of "death by violence, inflicted by a revolver in the hands of a person unknown."
