"Right; but I hope you also established a watch on his movements?"
"You may be sure I have the right man looking after him. And he isn't the only one I am having shadowed either."
"Is that so? Who is the other party?"
"August Strouse, a German Anarchist, who, until last week lived in the house occupied by the murdered woman."
"And you have good reasons for suspecting this fellow, you think?"
"Yes. I think so. You see, Strouse did not pay the rent of the rooms he occupied, and was told to move by Mrs. Ernst. He moved, but swore he would make trouble for the old woman before he was many weeks older."
"Is he a single man?"
"No, he has a wife and two children, but is considered a pretty tough character."
"Has he a police record?"
"Yes; a few months ago he was arrested for theft and was found guilty. I have no doubt that a more careful search would show that he has been up for other crimes."
