CHAPTER VII
THE DETECTIVE UNFOLDS HIS THEORY.
After a moment Fosdick resumed **] went over the ground that had passed over on his way home that night.

had been intoxicated, he might have walked off into the w ater, but so far as we know Burke was perfectly sober Indeed a man who ceuld row across the river and secure his boat properly could hardly have been too intoxicated to walk straight. ‘*In ascel nding have suddenly over.
the path Burke might grown dizzy and fallen I considered this, but the more J considered it the more improbable did it seem. It would be most difficult, if not wholly impossible, for a wound in the position and of the description of that on Burke’s skull to be made by the simple act of his falling off the cliff The descent is so sheer that a man los- ing his balance and falling would, in all probability, strike nothing in his pas- sage to the water below. At this time I could think of no better solution to the mystery than that, in a sudden fit of dementia, Burke, insanely dashing his head against the rocks above the path, had made the wound in his head and then toppled over into the water and drowned. I did not believe this to be a true solution, of course, though I did propose to inquire if Burke was subject to attacks of mental derange- ment. Happily I did not have to. ‘‘Having examined the ground in the locality of the east pier, I went up to the observatory and talked for an hour or two with Professor Gilman and others. Among other things I learned that at half past 10 on the night of Burke’s death a brilliant meteor was seen in the sky, and that so eminent an astronomer as Professor Gilman here shrewdly sus- pected that a meteorite had fallen in the vicinity of the river, not far from the pier. I returned to my hotel and chewed gum that afternoon. The next day I made another examination of the rocks near the pier which proved en- tirely satisfactory. I went to the city that afterncon, and the following morn- ing I had a submarine diver at work
under the cliff over which the path from
the pier passes. The diver bronght up several things of interest. This is one of them. ’
The detective took the slender steel rod in his hi ind, and holding it up to view said ‘This is one of the rods that were sold to Burke the evening cf his death, or, if not, it is exactly like it in every respect. There is no reason to suppose that it is not one of the very surie. The presence of the steel at that spot in the river convinced me, beyond all question, that tkat was the point where fell into the water. This dark piece of rock or mineral’’—the de- tective lifted the larger of the two pieces pose ‘tis I am told by Professor a meteorite. I was reasonably

certain of it before, but his statement sall the confirmation that is needed It is one of the things that the diver
brought up from the river bed under the path on the cliff
‘‘Now, then, let me review some of the facts known tous. Burke said good- by to Mr. Dobson at the hotel at almost exactly 10 o’clock that evening. There is no doubt about the time, for Mr Dobson remembers setting his watch by Burke’s just before the latter left He recalls the time with great distinctness because, he tells me, the town struck 19 just then, and he remarked to Burke that it was a minute fast. So we
| ir Ci0CS
know that at almost precisely 10 Bur ke left the hotel. The distance from it to the west pier is about a mile. An or-
dipary man would walk it in 15 min- utes. Burke, being something of an hlete, may have walked it in a little less time. We know he stopped to hunt for something. The evidences of this, however, would indicate that it was no very protracted search Probably it consumed not over two minutes, or at the most not mre than five. Suppose we say it took 18 minutes for him to reach the west pier, ten minutes would be about the time required for rowing across the river and two more for se curing the boat at the pie rand starting to ascend the path to the observatory That would bring us to half past 19 That night Prot x Gilman and Mr Arnold and also two other observers at rvatory saw a brilliant meteor flash across the sky The proiessor and Mr. Arnold, noting its course, thought it probable that a me tteorite fell into or near the river not far from the east pier Now at what time was this? Fortunately we know almost to the second. Just after the meteor disap- Mr Ingraham of the Urania university was thinking of going out with Mr. Aeaaid to search for the me teorite that they suspected had fallen but, upon consulting his watch, fo und had only nine minutes in which the 10:40 train for the city know that the meteorite fell at almost exactly half past 10.

This spot is almost direc ctly | in 1 the path of a person coming up from the pier We have figured out that a person was coming up at the very moment the metecrite fell. Is it unreasonable to suppose that this strange visitant from outer space struck poor Burke on the head at the instant he was passing that dangerous point in the path and that the blow knocked him off into the river ?”’
Professor Gilman uttered a little ex- clamation, but no one noticed him, for the sheriff had sprung up excitedly.
‘‘Yes, sir,’’ he cried, ‘‘it is unreason- able. If that thing fell out of the sky, as you assume, it could never have made the wound on Burke’s skull. The wound is in the wrong place for that. In order to have it occur, Burke’s left ear must have been turned toward the sky in a most unnatural manner. No, sir; that theory is knocked in the head at the start!”’
‘‘But suppose,”’ said the detective, quite undisturbed, ‘‘that the meteorite struck the cliff first, and then, rebound- ing at an angle, struck Burke on the side of the head. Surely you will not deny that that could happen. Now, as a matter of fact. the cliff shows that the
meteorite did strike it at a point about as high as a man’s head, for a piece of the rock there was broken off. This is it,’”’ touching lightly the smaller piece on the desk, ‘‘and it was picked up off the river bed by the diver, along with the other things. Now this corner of the meteorite might have made a wound almost exactly like thatgin Burke’s skull At least, such is my judgment, after a very close examination of the wound and of this portion of the me- teorite.”’
The sheriff interrupted the detective again and this time in even greater ex- citement than before: ‘‘There is one thing you seem to have forgotten. That meteorite must have been intensely hot when it fell, hot enough to burn human flesh and bone. But did the flesh and bone around the wound show any in- dications of having been burned? Cer- tainly not. No. sir Mr. Fosdick, you'll have to geta new theory You can't
