To
the
fearful
noises
that
had
awakened
me
had
succeeded
the
most
perfect
silence
--
unbroken
,
save
by
the
footsteps
of
a
man
walking
about
in
the
chamber
above
.
The
staircase
creaked
,
he
descended
into
the
room
below
,
approached
the
fire
and
lit
a
candle
.
The
man
was
Caderousse
--
he
was
pale
and
his
shirt
was
all
bloody
.
Having
obtained
the
light
,
he
hurried
up-stairs
again
,
and
once
more
I
heard
his
rapid
and
uneasy
footsteps
.
A
moment
later
he
came
down
again
,
holding
in
his
hand
the
small
shagreen
case
,
which
he
opened
,
to
assure
himself
it
contained
the
diamond
--
seemed
to
hesitate
as
to
which
pocket
he
should
put
it
in
,
then
,
as
if
dissatisfied
with
the
security
of
either
pocket
,
he
deposited
it
in
his
red
handkerchief
,
which
he
carefully
rolled
round
his
head
.
After
this
he
took
from
his
cupboard
the
bank-notes
and
gold
he
had
put
there
,
thrust
the
one
into
the
pocket
of
his
trousers
,
and
the
other
into
that
of
his
waistcoat
,
hastily
tied
up
a
small
bundle
of
linen
,
and
rushing
towards
the
door
,
disappeared
in
the
darkness
of
the
night
.
"
Then
all
became
clear
and
manifest
to
me
,
and
I
reproached
myself
with
what
had
happened
,
as
though
I
myself
had
done
the
guilty
deed
.
I
fancied
that
I
still
heard
faint
moans
,
and
imagining
that
the
unfortunate
jeweller
might
not
be
quite
dead
,
I
determined
to
go
to
his
relief
,
by
way
of
atoning
in
some
slight
degree
,
not
for
the
crime
I
had
committed
,
but
for
that
which
I
had
not
endeavored
to
prevent
.
For
this
purpose
I
applied
all
the
strength
I
possessed
to
force
an
entrance
from
the
cramped
spot
in
which
I
lay
to
the
adjoining
room
.
The
poorly
fastened
boards
which
alone
divided
me
from
it
yielded
to
my
efforts
,
and
I
found
myself
in
the
house
.
Hastily
snatching
up
the
lighted
candle
,
I
hurried
to
the
staircase
;
about
midway
a
body
was
lying
quite
across
the
stairs
.
It
was
that
of
La
Carconte
.
The
pistol
I
had
heard
had
doubtless
been
fired
at
her
.
The
shot
had
frightfully
lacerated
her
throat
,
leaving
two
gaping
wounds
from
which
,
as
well
as
the
mouth
,
the
blood
was
pouring
in
floods
.
She
was
stone
dead
.
I
strode
past
her
,
and
ascended
to
the
sleeping
chamber
,
which
presented
an
appearance
of
the
wildest
disorder
.
The
furniture
had
been
knocked
over
in
the
deadly
struggle
that
had
taken
place
there
,
and
the
sheets
,
to
which
the
unfortunate
jeweller
had
doubtless
clung
,
were
dragged
across
the
room
.
The
murdered
man
lay
on
the
floor
,
his
head
leaning
against
the
wall
,
and
about
him
was
a
pool
of
blood
which
poured
forth
from
three
large
wounds
in
his
breast
;
there
was
a
fourth
gash
,
in
which
a
long
table
knife
was
plunged
up
to
the
handle
.
"
I
stumbled
over
some
object
;
I
stooped
to
examine
--
it
was
the
second
pistol
,
which
had
not
gone
off
,
probably
from
the
powder
being
wet
.
I
approached
the
jeweller
,
who
was
not
quite
dead
,
and
at
the
sound
of
my
footsteps
and
the
creaking
of
the
floor
,
he
opened
his
eyes
,
fixed
them
on
me
with
an
anxious
and
inquiring
gaze
,
moved
his
lips
as
though
trying
to
speak
,
then
,
overcome
by
the
effort
,
fell
back
and
expired
.
This
appalling
sight
almost
bereft
me
of
my
senses
,
and
finding
that
I
could
no
longer
be
of
service
to
any
one
in
the
house
,
my
only
desire
was
to
fly
.
I
rushed
towards
the
staircase
,
clutching
my
hair
,
and
uttering
a
groan
of
horror
.
Upon
reaching
the
room
below
,
I
found
five
or
six
custom-house
officers
,
and
two
or
three
gendarmes
--
all
heavily
armed
.
They
threw
themselves
upon
me
.
I
made
no
resistance
;
I
was
no
longer
master
of
my
senses
.
When
I
strove
to
speak
,
a
few
inarticulate
sounds
alone
escaped
my
lips
.
"
As
I
noticed
the
significant
manner
in
which
the
whole
party
pointed
to
my
blood-stained
garments
,
I
involuntarily
surveyed
myself
,
and
then
I
discovered
that
the
thick
warm
drops
that
had
so
bedewed
me
as
I
lay
beneath
the
staircase
must
have
been
the
blood
of
La
Carconte
.
I
pointed
to
the
spot
where
I
had
concealed
myself
.
'
What
does
he
mean
?
'
asked
a
gendarme
.
One
of
the
officers
went
to
the
place
I
directed
.
'
He
means
,
'
replied
the
man
upon
his
return
,
'
that
he
got
in
that
way
;
'
and
he
showed
the
hole
I
had
made
when
I
broke
through
.
"
Then
I
saw
that
they
took
me
for
the
assassin
.
I
recovered
force
and
energy
enough
to
free
myself
from
the
hands
of
those
who
held
me
,
while
I
managed
to
stammer
forth
--
'
I
did
not
do
it
!
Indeed
,
indeed
I
did
not
!
'
A
couple
of
gendarmes
held
the
muzzles
of
their
carbines
against
my
breast
.
--
'
Stir
but
a
step
,
'
said
they
,
'
and
you
are
a
dead
man
.
'
--
'
Why
should
you
threaten
me
with
death
,
'
cried
I
,
'
when
I
have
already
declared
my
innocence
?
'
--
'
Tush
,
tush
,
'
cried
the
men
;
'
keep
your
innocent
stories
to
tell
to
the
judge
at
Nimes
.
Meanwhile
,
come
along
with
us
;
and
the
best
advice
we
can
give
you
is
to
do
so
unresistingly
.
'
Alas
,
resistance
was
far
from
my
thoughts
.
I
was
utterly
overpowered
by
surprise
and
terror
;
and
without
a
word
I
suffered
myself
to
be
handcuffed
and
tied
to
a
horse
's
tail
,
and
thus
they
took
me
to
Nimes
.
"
I
had
been
tracked
by
a
customs-officer
,
who
had
lost
sight
of
me
near
the
tavern
;
feeling
certain
that
I
intended
to
pass
the
night
there
,
he
had
returned
to
summon
his
comrades
,
who
just
arrived
in
time
to
hear
the
report
of
the
pistol
,
and
to
take
me
in
the
midst
of
such
circumstantial
proofs
of
my
guilt
as
rendered
all
hopes
of
proving
my
innocence
utterly
futile
.
One
only
chance
was
left
me
,
that
of
beseeching
the
magistrate
before
whom
I
was
taken
to
cause
every
inquiry
to
be
made
for
the
Abbe
Busoni
,
who
had
stopped
at
the
inn
of
the
Pont
du
Gard
on
that
morning
.
If
Caderousse
had
invented
the
story
relative
to
the
diamond
,
and
there
existed
no
such
person
as
the
Abbe
Busoni
,
then
,
indeed
,
I
was
lost
past
redemption
,
or
,
at
least
,
my
life
hung
upon
the
feeble
chance
of
Caderousse
himself
being
apprehended
and
confessing
the
whole
truth
.
Two
months
passed
away
in
hopeless
expectation
on
my
part
,
while
I
must
do
the
magistrate
the
justice
to
say
that
he
used
every
means
to
obtain
information
of
the
person
I
declared
could
exculpate
me
if
he
would
.
Caderousse
still
evaded
all
pursuit
,
and
I
had
resigned
myself
to
what
seemed
my
inevitable
fate
.
My
trial
was
to
come
on
at
the
approaching
assizes
;
when
,
on
the
8th
of
September
--
that
is
to
say
,
precisely
three
months
and
five
days
after
the
events
which
had
perilled
my
life
--
the
Abbe
Busoni
,
whom
I
never
ventured
to
believe
I
should
see
,
presented
himself
at
the
prison
doors
,
saying
he
understood
one
of
the
prisoners
wished
to
speak
to
him
;
he
added
,
that
having
learned
at
Marseilles
the
particulars
of
my
imprisonment
,
he
hastened
to
comply
with
my
desire
.
You
may
easily
imagine
with
what
eagerness
I
welcomed
him
,
and
how
minutely
I
related
the
whole
of
what
I
had
seen
and
heard
.
I
felt
some
degree
of
nervousness
as
I
entered
upon
the
history
of
the
diamond
,
but
,
to
my
inexpressible
astonishment
,
he
confirmed
it
in
every
particular
,
and
to
my
equal
surprise
,
he
seemed
to
place
entire
belief
in
all
I
said
.
And
then
it
was
that
,
won
by
his
mild
charity
,
seeing
that
he
was
acquainted
with
all
the
habits
and
customs
of
my
own
country
,
and
considering
also
that
pardon
for
the
only
crime
of
which
I
was
really
guilty
might
come
with
a
double
power
from
lips
so
benevolent
and
kind
,
I
besought
him
to
receive
my
confession
,
under
the
seal
of
which
I
recounted
the
Auteuil
affair
in
all
its
details
,
as
well
as
every
other
transaction
of
my
life
.
That
which
I
had
done
by
the
impulse
of
my
best
feelings
produced
the
same
effect
as
though
it
had
been
the
result
of
calculation
.
My
voluntary
confession
of
the
assassination
at
Auteuil
proved
to
him
that
I
had
not
committed
that
of
which
I
stood
accused
.
