The circumstances of the escape had been carefully examined.

The warder responsible had been discharged from the service, and had almost immediately purchased for himself a beer house in Falmouth, for a sum which left no doubt in the official mind that he had been the recipient of a heavy bribe.
Who had been the guiding spirit in that escape--Mrs.Lexman, or Kara?
It was impossible to connect Kara with the event.

The motor car had been traced to Exeter, where it had been hired by a "foreign-looking gentleman," but the chauffeur, whoever he was, had made good his escape.

An inspection of Kara's hangars at Wembley showed that his two monoplanes had not been removed, and T.X.failed entirely to trace the owner of the machine he had seen flying over Dartmoor on the fatal morning.
T.X.was somewhat baffled and a little amused by the disinclination of the authorities to believe that the escape had been effected by this method at all.

All the events of the trial came back to him, as he watched the landscape spinning past.
He set down the newspaper with a little sigh, put his feet on the cushions of the opposite seat and gave himself up to reverie.
