A STUDY
IN SCARLET
By Sir A. Conan Doylo.
CHAPTKH VI.
Tlio papers next day wore full of
the "Brixton Mystery," as they termed
it. Each had a long account of
tho affair, and some had leaders upon
it in addition. There was some
information in them which was now
to mo. 1 still retain in my scraphook
numerous clippings and extracts
bearing upon tho case. Ilere is a
condensation of a few of them:
The Standard commented upon the
5'act that lawless out iron r?f
? "OV ? v**v? O V7 I I
visually occurred under a Liberal administration.
They arose from the
unsettling of the minds of the
masses, and the consequent "weakening
of all authority. Tho deceased
was an American gentleman who had
been residing for some weeks in the
metropolis. Ho had stayed at tho
boarding house of Mine. Charpentier,
in Torquay Terrace, Oaniberwell. Ho
was accompanied in his travels by his
private secretary, Mr. Joseph Stangerson.
The two hid adieu to their
landlady upon Tuesday, the 1th Inst.,
and departed to Huston Station with
the avowed intention of catching the
Liverpool express. They were afterward
seen together on tho platform.
Nothing more is known of them until
Mr. Drehher's body was, as recorded,
discovered in an empty house in the
Brixton Road, many miles from Huston.
How he came there, or how lie
met his fate, are questions which are
still involved in mystery. Nothing is
known of the whereabouts of Stangerson.
Wo are glad to lopm that
Mr. Lestrade and Mr. Gregson, of
Scotland Yard, are both engaged upon
the case, and it is confidently anticipated
that these well known ofli
cers win speedily throw light upon
the matter.
The Daily 'News observed that
there was no douht as to the crime
being a political one. The despotism
and hatred of Liberalism which
animated the Continental governments,
had had the effect of driving
to our shores a number of men who
might have made excellent citizens
were they not soured hy the recollection
of all that they had undergone.
Among these men there was a stringent
code of honor, any infringement
of which was punished by death.
Kvery effort should he made to find
the secretary, Stangerson, and to ascertain
some particulars of the habits
of the deceased. A great step had
been gained hy the discovery of the
address of the house at which he had
boarded?a result which was entirely
due to the acuteness and energy of
Mr. Gregson, of Scotland Yard.
Sherlock Holmes and 1 read theso
nothices over together at breakfast,
and they appeared to afford him considerable
amusement.
"I told you that, whatever happened,
Lestrado and Gregson would he
sure to score."
"That depends on how it turns
out."
1 "Oh, bless you, it doesn't matter in
the least. If the man is caught, it
) will be on account of their exertions;
i if he escapes, it will be in spite of j
> their exertions. It's heads I win and
i tails you lose. Whatever they do,
1 they will have followers. 'IJn sot

t "What on earth la this?" I cried,
< for at this moment there came the
pattering of many steps in tho hall
and on the stairs, accompanied hy
audible expressions of disgust upon
tho part of our landlady.
I "It's the Baker Street division of
tho detective police force," said my
companion, gravely; and as ho spoke
J there rushed into the room half a
I dozen of the dirtiest and most ragged
street arabs that ever I clapped eyes
[ on.
'"Tention!" cried Holmes, in a
sharp tone, and 1he six dirty little
] scoundrels stood in a line like so
I many disreputable statuettes. "In
i future you shall send up Wiggins
E alone to report, and the rest of you
must wait in the street. Have you
i found it, Wiggins?"
u "No, sir; we hain't," said one of
the youths.
( "I hardly expected you would. You
i must keep on until you do. Here are
; your wages." Ho handed each of
b them a shilling. "Now, off you go,
aid come back with a better report
next time."
He waved his hand, and they scampered
away downstairs like so many
' rats, and we heard the.tr shrill vr?i^r.a
11 next moment in the street,
e
"There's more work to be got out
1 of one of those little beggars than
^ out of a dozen of the force," Holmes
n remarked. "The mere sight of an
official-looking person seals men's
lips. These youngsters, however, go
everywhere and hear everything.
They are as sharp as needles, too;
^ all they want is organization."
k.- "Is it on this Brixton case that you
flj are employing them?" I asked.
16 "Yes; there is a point which I wish
^ to ascertain. It is merely a matter
ir of time; Halloo! wo are going to
* hear some news now with a venv'
geance! Here is Gregson coming
down the road, with beautitude written
upon every feature of his face.
6 Bound for us, I know. Yes, he is
k stopping. There ho is!"
y There was a violent peal at the
bell, and in a few seconds tbe fair
haired detective came tip the stairs,
three steps at a time, and hurst into
our sitting-room.
"My dear fellow," he cried, wringing
Holmes' unresponsive hand,
"congratulate me! 1 have made the
whole thing as clear as day!"
A shade of anxiety seemed to me
to cross my companion's expressive
face.
"Do you mean that you are on the
right track?" he asked.
"The right track! Why, sir, we
have tlie man under lock and key!"
"And his name is?"
"Arthur Charpentier, sub-lieutenant
in ITer Majesty's navy," cried
Gregson, pompously rubbing his fat
hands and inflating his chest.
Sherlock Holmes gave a sigh of relief
and relaxed into a smile.
"Take a seat and try one of these
cigars," he said. "We are anxious to
Ulinu' linuf VAII niniinnful t* UTtll
? ~ .. ..v,., u u, win you
have some whiskey and water?"
"I don't mind if I do," tlie detective
answered. "The tremendous exertions
which I havo gone through
during the last day or two have worn
mo out. Not so much bodily exertion,
you understand, as the strain
upon the mind. You will appreciate
that ,Mr. Sherlock Holmes, for we
are both brain-workers."
"You do me too much honor," said
Holmes, gravely. "Let us hear how
arrived at this most gratifying result."
The detective seated himself in the
armchair and puffed complacently at
his cigar. Then suddenly he slapped
his thigh in a paroxysm of amusement.
"The fun of it is," lie cried, "that
that fool Lestrade, who thinks himself
so smart, has gone off upon the
wrong track altogether. He is after
the secretary, Stangorson, who had
no more to do with the crime than
the babe unborn. T have no doubt
that he has caught him by this time."
The idea tickled Oregson so much
that he laughed until he choked.
"And how did you get your clew?"
"Ah, I'll tell you all about it. Of
course, Dr. Watson, this is strictly between
ourselves. Tho first difficulty
which we had to contend with was
the finding of this American's antecedents.
Some people would have
waited until their advertisements
were answered, or until parties came
forward and volunteered information.
That is not Tobias (Iregson's way of
going to work. You remember the
hat beside the dead man?"
"Yes," said Holmes; "by John Underwood
& Son, 229 Camberwell
Road."
Gregson looked quite crestfallen.
"1 had no idea that you noticed
that," he said. "Have you been
there?"
"No!"
"Ha! cried Gregson, in a relieved
voice. "You should never neglect a
chance, however small it may seem."
"To a great mind nothing is little,"
remarked Holmes, sententiously.
"Well, I went to Underwood, and
asked him if ho had sold a hat of that
size and description, lie looked over
his books, and came on it at once.
He had sent the hat to a Mr. Drebber,
residing at Charpentler's hoarding
establishment, Torquay Terrace.
Thus I got at his address."
"Smart?very smart," murmured
Sherlock Holmes.
"I next called upon Madame Charpentier,"
continued the detective. "I
found her very pale and distressed.
Her daughter was in the room, too?
an uncommonly fine girl she is, too;
she was looking red about the eyes,
and her lips trembled as I spoke to
her. That didn't escape my notice.
I began to smell a rat. You know
the feeling, Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
when you come upon the right scent
?a kind of thrill in your nerves.
'Have you heard of the mysterious
death of your late boarder, Mr.
Enoch J. Drebber, of Cleveland?' I
asked.
"The mother nodded. She didn't
seem able to get out a word. The
daughter burst into tears. I felt
more than ever that these people
knew something of the mnttor
" 'At what o'clock did Mr. Drebber
leave your house for the train?' I
asked.
" 'At eight o'clock,' she said, gulping
in her throat to keep down her
agitation. 'Ilis secretary, Mr. Stangorson,
said that there were two
trains?one at 9: If) and one at 11.
He was to catch the first.'
" 'And was that the last you saw
of him?'
"A terrible change came over the
woman's face as I asked the question.'
Her features turned perfectly
livid. It was some seconds before
she could get out the single word,
'Yes,' and when it did come it was in
a husky, unnatural tone.
"There was silence for a moment,
and then the daughter spoke in a
calm, clear voice.
" 'No good can ever come of falsehood,
mother,' she said. ' Hot us be
frank with this gentleman. We did
see Mr. Drebber again'.
" 'God forgive you! cried Madame
Charpentier, throwing up her hands
and sinking back in the chair.
" 'You have murdered your broth
or!'
" 'Arthur would rather that wo
spoke the truth,' the girl answered,
firmly.
" 'You had heat, tell me all about it
now,' I said. 'Half confidences are
worse than none. "Resides, you do not
know how much we know of It.'
" 'On your head he it, Alice!' cried
her mother; and then, turning turning
to mo :'I will tell you all, sir. Do
not imagine that my agitation on be
half of my son arises from any fear
lost he should have had a hand In
this terrible affair. Ho 1h utterly Innocent
of it. My dread is, however, that
in your eyes and in the eyes of others
lie may appear to he compromised.
That, however, is surely impossible.
His high character, his proffession,
his antecedents would forbid it.'
" 'Your best way is to make a clean
breast of it, if your son is innocent
he will bo none the worse.'
" 'Perhaps, Alice, you had better
leave us together,' she said, and her
daughter withdrew. 'Now, sir,' she
continued, 'I had no intention of telling
you all this, but since my poor
daughter has disclosed it I have no
alternative. Having once decided to
speak, I will tell you all, without
omitting any particular.'
" 'It is your wisest course,' said I.
" 'Mr. Drobbor has .been with us
nearly three weeks. He and his secretary,
Mr. Stangerson, had been
traveling on the Continent T untie.
ed a Copenhagen label upon each of
their trunks, showing that that had
been their last stopping place. Stangerson
was a quiet, reserved man,
hut his employer, I am sorry to say,
was far otherwise. He was coarse in
his habits and brutish in his ways.
The very night of his arrival he became
very much the worse for drink,
and, indeed, after twelve o'clock in
the day he could hardly ever be said
to bo sober. His manners toward the
maid-servants were disgustingly free
and familiar. Worst of all, he speedily
assumed the same attitude toward
my daughter, Alice, and spoke to her
more than once in a way which, fortunately,
she is too innocent to understand.
On one occasion he actually
seized her in his arms and embraced
her?an outrage which caused his
own secretary to reproach him for
his unmanly conduct.'
" 'Hut why did you stand all this?'
I asked. 'I suppose that you can get
rid of your boarders when you wish.'
"Mrs. Charpentier blushed at my
pertinent question.
" 'Would to God that I had given
him notice on the very day he came,'
she said. 'But it was a sore temptation.
They were paying a pound a
day each?fourteen pounds a week,
and this is a slack season. T am a
widow, and my boy in the navy has
cost me much. 1 grudged to lose the
money. T acted for the best. This
last was too much, however, and T
gave him notice to leave on account
of it. That was the reason of his going.'
" 'Well?'
" 'My heart crew lieht whnr? t ?nw
him drive away. My son is on leave
thing of this, for his temper is vio'ent
and he is passionately fond of
his sister. When I closed the door
i behind them a load seemed to he lifted
from my mind. Alas! in less than
an hour there was a ring at the hell,
and I learned that Mr. Drebber had
returned, lie was much excited, and
evidently the worse for drink. Tie
forced his way into the room where
1 was sitting with my daughter, and
made some Incoherent remark about
having missed his train. He then
turned to Alice, and before my very
face, proposed to her that she should
tly with him. "You are of age," ho
said, "and there is no law to stop
you. I have money enough and to
spare. Never mind the old girl here,
but come along with me now straight
away. You shall live like a princess."
Poor Alice was so frightened
that she shrunk away from him, but
he caught her ,by the wrist and endeavored
to draw her toward the
door. I screamed, and at that moment
my son Arthur came into the
room. What happened then I do not
know. T heard oaths and the confused
sounds of a scuffle. I was too
terrified to raise my head. When T
did look up I saw Arthur standing in
the doorway laughing, with a stick In
his hand. "I don't think that fine
fellow will trouble us again," he said.
"I will just go after him and see
what he does with himself." With
those words he took his hat and

"Tliis statement camo from Mrs
Charpentier's lips with many Rasp?

low that I could hardly catch the
words. I mado shorthand notes ol
all she said, however, so that there
should he no possibility of a mistake."
"It's quite exciting," said Sherlock
Holmes, with a yawn. "What hap
pened next?"
"When Mrs. Charpentier paused,'
the detective continued, "I saw thai
the whole case hung upon one point

WHIPS HIS ASSAILANT l(
AFTKH HE1NG SHOT HAMPTON
MAN GIVES FIGHT.
Drunk on Man Shoots l*p tlio Town,
Firing at Sovornl Ilefor? Ho Is
Rendered Harmless by Heating*
Chas. S. Blocker, a prominent
young white man of Hampton, was
shot anil probably fatally wounded
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock by
Jesse Smith. The shooting occurred
on Lee avenue, the main thoroughfare
of the town, in front of the store
of W. Fred Lightsey, in which Mr.
Blocker works as manager for Mr.
Lightsey. The wound was inflicted
in the lower intestines, and the exact
nature and effects of it can not be ascertained
without an exploratory incision.
It seems that Smith, who prior to
this time has been repeatedly incarcerated
in the local jail on charges
ranging from drunk and disorderly '
to murder, and who was tried for
murder and acquitted several years <
ago, proceeded to get drunk Tuesday
and to shoot up the town. Mr. W. M.
Bishop and several other young men
were, it is said, threatened by Smith,
and the drunken man shot at Mr.
Bishop twice before the altercation
with Mr. Blocker, but his aim proved
untrue.
Hearing the shooting, six travelling
men at the local hotel went out
to investigate, but Smith herded
them into a residence on Lee avenue.
Mr. Blocker, who had just come into
the town, heard the shooting, and
thought that fire had broken out.
When ho arrived at his store he
found Smith there, and tried to quiet
mm, placing his hand on Smith's
shoulders, when he was shot at close
range, tho bullet taking effect in the
right side of the lower abdomen, and
coming out about six inches around
in front. It Is possible that the muscles
of the abdomen deflected the bullet
so that there was no entry into
the cavity.
After being shot, Mr. Blocker, who
in a powerful man, knocked Smith
down and proceeded to glvo him a
sound beating. Mr. Blocker was
about to shoot Smith, when some
men rushed up and prevented any
further trouble. Mr. Blocker was
then given medical attention and
Smith was locked up in the local jail.
The wound of Mr. Blocker is not expected
to prove fatal.
come quietly with us, he answered
us, as hold as brass: *1 suppose you
are arresting me for being concerned
in the death of that scroundrel Drebber,'
he said. We had said nothing
to him about it, so that his alluding
to it had a most suspicious aspect."
"Very," said Holmes.
"He still carried tho heavy stick
which the mother described him as
having with him when he followed
Drebber. It was a stout oak cudgel."
"What is your theory, then?"
"Well, my theory is that ho followed
Drebber as far as the Brixton
Road. When there, a fresh altercation
arose between them, in the
course of which Drobber received a
blow from tho stick, in the pit of the
stomach, perhaps, which killed him
without leaving any mark. The night
was so wet that no ono was about, so
Charpentier dragged the body of his
victim into tho empty house. As to
tho candle, and the blood, and the
writing on the wall, and tho ring,
they may all bo so many tricks to
throw the police on the wrong scent."
"Well done!" said Holmes, in an
encouraging voice. "Iteally, Gregson,
you are getting along. We shall
make something of you yet."
"I flatter myself that I have man
aged it rather neatly," the detective
answered, proudly. "The young man
volunteered a statement, in which ho
said that after following Drebber for
some time, the latter perceived him,
and took a cab in order to get away
from him. On his way he met an old
shipmate, and took a long walk with
him. On being asked where his old
shipmate lived, he was unable to give
any satisfactory reply. I think the
whole case (Its together uncommonly
well. What amuses me is to think of
Lestrade, who had started off upon
the wrong scent. I am afraid he
won't make much of it. Why, by
Jove, here's the very man himself!"
It was indeed Lestrade, who had
ascended the stairs while we were
t talking, and who now entered the
room. The assurance and jauntiness
' which generally marked his demean1
or and dress were, however, wanting.
p His face was disturbed and troubled,
while his clothes were disarranged
and tuntidy. He had evidently come
t with the intention of consulting with
Sherlock Holmes, for on perceiving
his colleague he appeared to be embarrassed
and put out. He stood in
the center of tho room, fumbling nervously
with his hat, and uncertain
t what to do.
"This is a most, extraordinary
case," he said, at last; "a most incomprehensible
affair."
"Ah, you find it so, Mr. Lestrade!"
t cried Oregson, triumphantly. "I
thought you would come to that con.
elusion. Have you managed to find
the secretary, Mr. Joseph Stangers
son9"
1 "The secretary, Mr. Joseph Stanr
gerson," said T.estrade, gravely, "was
i murdered at Halliday's Private Hotel
* about six o'clock this morning."
