Yes, actually in his hand! He must have hidden it and dug it up." Mr.Jacobs nodded, but said nothing.
"I've got him in the lock-up," said the Inspector, with an air of satisfaction which was pardonable in the circumstances.

"He went very quietly--declared his innocence, of course--well, implied it.

I've got notes of what he said.

And I searched him." Mr.Jacobs nodded again, and the Inspector drew from his pocket sundry articles.
"Not much money on him--there's some loose change and this five-pound note.

Strange to say--a bit curious and suspicious!--he objected strongly to my taking the note: said that it was worth more than five pounds to him; in fact, he declared that he wouldn't part with it for five thousand and begged me to take care of it and let him change it back for gold." He smiled.
