Bucholz and the Detectives

CHAPTER XXV
3/6

Arriving at the strip of woods, they walked along the narrow path and Sadie designated to him the place where the body had been found.
Very different now was the scene presented.

The trees, whose branches were then bare, were now covered with their bright and heavy verdure; the ground, that then was hard and frozen, was now carpeted with the luxurious grass; the birds sang merrily overhead, and the warm sunshine lighted up the wood with a beauty far different than was apparent upon that bleak winter night when Henry Schulte met his death upon the spot where they now were standing.
They then walked together up the railroad, and meeting the mother and sister returning home, Sommers bade them a pleasant good-bye and promised to pay them another visit as soon as practicable.
He determined to make this visit the groundwork of a definite attack upon the reticence of William Bucholz.

The next morning, upon going to the jail, he informed William of his visit to South Norwalk, and of his meeting with Sadie Waring.

After relating the various incidents that had occurred during his visit, and which were listened to with lively interest, he turned suddenly to Bucholz, and lightly said: "By the way, Bucholz, the Warings are going to move." Bucholz started suddenly, as though the information conveyed an unpleasant surprise.
"You must not let them move, Sommers," he exclaimed quickly, and with an evidence of fear in his voice.

"That will never do." "I can not prevent their moving," replied Sommers.
