Every one rememâ€" + bers how that startling tragedy was !featured in the country‘s press. It was referred to by various designaâ€" | tions. Some newspapers called it the Cock Robin murder. Others, more ‘alliterative, but less accurate, termed it the Mother Goose murder. But the : signature of the typewritten notes apâ€" pealed strongly to the journalistic sense of mystery; and in time the killing of Robin came to be known as :the Bishop murder case.

' During the week following the disâ€" icovery of Robin‘s body the detectivesl of the Homicide Bureau, as well as the detectives connected with the Dis. trict Attorney‘s office, were busy night and day pushing their inquiries, The receipt of the duplicate Bishap notes by the leading New York papers had dissipated whatever ideas Heath may have held as to Sperling‘s guilt; and though he refused to put his offiâ€" clal imprimatur on the young man‘s innocence, he threw himself, with his usual gusto and pertinacity, into the win the spec no similarity cerned.

Pardee had been alone in his study. His old cook and his Japanese valet had been in the rear of the house and had not seen him until lunch time. 3. The time Drukker departed from the archery room was definitely deterâ€" mined by Sperling; but no one could be found who had seen him thereâ€" after. He admitted he had met no one he knew in the park, but insisted he had stopped for a few minutes to play with some strange children. 2. Belle Dillard had played several sets of tennis at the public courts at 119th Street and Riverside Drive, but because there had been more than four in her party she had twice relinquishâ€" ed her place to a friend; and none of the players could state positively that she had remained at the courts during these periods. 1. Arnesson had been seen in the univers‘ty library by various people, including an assistant librarian and two students. But the time covered by their evidence was neither consecutive nor specific as to the hour. ’ The various alibis of the seven perâ€" sons whom Vance had tabulated in his notation for Markham, were gone into as thoroughly as cireumstances would permit. It was obviously impossible to check them completely, for, in the main, they were based solely on the statements of the individuais involved. Moreover, the investigation had to be made v.ith the utmost care lest susâ€" picion be aroused. The results of these inquiries were as follows: ‘ of finding a tenant who had noticed some one entering or emerging from the Dillard wall gate during the foreâ€" noon. But nothing was gained by this tedious Campaign. Pardee it seemed, was the only resident within view of the Dillard house who had observed any one in the neighbarhood that morning. In fact after several days of arduous inquiries along this line the Sergeant realized that he would have to proceed without any outside or fortuitous assistance. ( "That blearyâ€"eyed old cormorant has got something up his sleeve," he told Markham disgustedly. "But it would take the rubber hose and the water cure to make him spill it." A canvass of all the houses in 7T5th Etreet between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive was made in the hops ’ Though Beedle and Pyne were quesâ€" tioned by Heath several times, nothing new was learned from them. Pyne inâ€" sisted that he had been upstairs the entire morning in Arnesson‘s room, exâ€" copt for a few brief absences to the linen closet and the front door, and elung tenaciously to his denial that he kad touched either the body or the bow when sent by Professor Dillard to find Sperling. The Sergeant, however, was not entirely satisfied with the man‘s testimony. | _ The post mortem report of Doctor 'Donemus lent color to the now offiâ€" cially accepted theory that Robin had been killed in the archery room and then placed on the range. The autopsy whowed that the blow on the back of his skull had been a particularly vioâ€" lent one and had been made with a heavy rounded instrument, resulting‘ in a depressed fracture quite different from a fissured fracture caused hy striking a flat surface. A search was instituted for the weapon with which the blow had been dealt; but no like‘y instrument was turned up. hands of experts, the result was negaâ€" tive. The only point brought to light was that the fibre ru® near the door had recently been moved so as to cover the cleansed spot on the cement floor. This fact, however, merely subâ€" stantiated the Sergeant‘s earlier obâ€" servation. On the afternoon of the day of the murder he and his men had searched for the cloth that had been used to vipe up the blood in the archery room; but no trace of it was found. Also, a thorough examination of the Dillard basement was made in the hope of finding other clews; but a!â€" though Heath had put the task in the as complete as had been that of the Greene murder case. No avenue which held the meagrest hope of results was overlooked; and the report he drew up would have given joy even to those meticulous criminologists of the Uniâ€" versity of Lausanne. task of finding another and more plausâ€" ible culprit.

The fact that Sperling had taken the 11.40 train to Scarsdale was veriâ€" fied; therefore he would have had to leave the Dillard bhouse at the time he statedâ€"namely, 11.15. The determinaâ€" tion of this point, however, was mereâ€" by a matter of routine for he had been practically eliminated from the case.
