"But has anything been discovered likely to show who killed this poor lad ?" "No, the whole thing is a mystery." Mrs.Jasher looked into the fire over the top of the fan.
"I have read the papers," she said slowly, "and have gathered what I could from what the reporters explained.

But I intend to call on the Professor and hear all that evidence which did not get into the papers." "I think that everything has been made public.

The police have no clue to the murderer.

Why do you want to know ?" Mrs.Jasher made a movement of surprise.
"Why, I am the Professor's friend, of course, my dear, and naturally I want to help him to solve this mystery." "There is no chance, so far as I can see, of it ever being solved," said Lucy.
