"Marden was seated by the open window, but I cannot conjecture how any one can have got at West, who sat by the table!"
"The case of Marden is little less than remarkable; he was some distance from the window. No one could possibly have reached him from outside."
"And the constable?"
"The constable can give us no clue. He was suddenly struck down, as the others were. I examined the safe, of course, but didn't touch it, according to instructions. Someone had been at work on the lock, but it had defied their efforts. I'm fully expecting though that they'll be back to-night, with different tools!"
