That is no business of ours.
The accused who, I had seen to it, had had a cup of tea and a little
toast at seven-thirty, left in company with Mr. Tupp soon after ten.
Superintendent Wade admitted he had known cases where accused
parties, to avoid unpleasantness, had stated their names to be other
than their own, but declined to discuss the matter further.
Superintendent Wade, while expressing his regret that he had no more
time to bestow upon our representative, thought it highly probable
that he would know the lady again if he saw her.
Without professing to be a judge of such matters, Superintendent
Wade thinks she might be described as a highly intelligent young
woman, and of exceptionally prepossessing appearance.

From Mr. Julius Tupp, of the Sunnybrook Steam Laundry, Twickenham,
upon whom our representative next called, we have been unable to
obtain much assistance, Mr. Tupp replying to all questions put to
him by the one formula, "Not talking."
Fortunately, our representative, on his way out through the drying
ground, was able to obtain a brief interview with Mrs. Tupp.
Mrs. Tupp remembers admitting a young lady to the house on the
morning of Friday, the twenty-eighth, when she opened the door to
take in the milk.
