THE SAME.
The of Theophilus Binjoy:--
"I am a medical man; and in my early manhood, I in the village of Damington. I was present at the birth of Edward Fielding, and of Gregory Fellenger. I know about the mark on the arm of the heir. Madaline the two children, and I said nothing as she promised to me. I was in love with her. She left the village, and me. Afterwards I my I should into trouble; also I when the false Sir Gregory up, to have a on him. I was from doing this by Madaline (whom I had in Tooley's Alley, under the name of Mrs. Boazoph). She to the name of the true if I with her son. I therefore did nothing. I saw the which Louis had for an experiment. It was in a cabinet in the laboratory. Young Vaud came to Taxton-on-Thames nearly with the death of Emma Colmer, he had as Emma Calvert. She had been to her death by her husband, the false Sir Gregory, and had killed herself in Paris. Vaud asked me about poisons. He said nothing to me about killing Sir Gregory, or I should have him from doing so and an action.
"I I did not wish the death of the man. What I said to him in the laboratory, was purely without motives.
"I admit I him the needle. I was in the experiment, and, being full of it, I spoke of our of trying the on the dog. When Vaud left the laboratory, I did not miss the needle; I did not miss it until Louis spoke to me about it. As Turnor had been in the laboratory, and we had been speaking about the experiment, I he had taken the needle. It me that Vaud had by my explanation, and had the to kill Gregory. With Louis I up to town on the twenty-first of June, to see Turnor, and ask him for the needle; I had no in taking Louis to Turnor's. If Turnor to Louis, I nothing about it. I with the that I Louis to Great Auk Street to him in the crime, and so him. I of the until I to the Red Star, according to my of an evening. Madaline asked me if I had Vaud, who was as a negro. I said I had not.
"We into the room; and the of Sir Gregory; he was as a working-man; Vaud had disappeared. I ordered the to be taken upstairs, and an examination. I then saw that Gregory had been killed by being with the which Louis and I had discovered. I the of St. Catherine, on the arm; and I from that how Vaud had Gregory to let himself be with the needle. I the mark to Fanks when he came upstairs. But doing so, I it with a cut of the knife. I did this I I might be with the crime. I Hersham (who I did not know was the heir) to himself as a so as to of music. I did not do so with any of him with the murder. Madaline had told me how Vaud was as my servant; I saw that the death had been about by the from our laboratory by Vaud; and with these two in my I my at once. I gave my name to Fanks; I that the was the work of a society. Then I to Turnor, and I was aware that I was being and not return to Taxton-on-Thames without being discovered.
"I Turnor; he the to Bombay, and said I ought to send Caesar in my place, in order to of him, since the of Gregory had been in his livery; and also that Caesar send (already by me) from India, in order to keep up the deception, and the police. I the idea, and, by Dr. Turnor, I it out with great success. I had an with Fanks in the of Dr. Renshaw, and I told him that I was going to Bombay. I then took a passage to India in the P. and O. 'Oceana'; and to Caesar to meet me at Plymouth.
"Thither I and gave the (purporting to be by myself from Bombay) to Caesar and sent him off in my place. Afterwards, I took off my disguise, and to Mere Hall. I had no idea that I had been by Mr. Fanks, and that I had all with the in Tooley's Alley, likely to Louis and myself, I him to offer a so as to still suspicion.
"This he did, and I all was well, till Madaline came from Mere Hall to me against Fanks, and to to put the Gregory in the place of Louis. I stopped her doing this, and Fanks. How he over-reached me; how I was by Louis, has been told by others. I can with a clear that I in the of Louis, who has me with the ingratitude. I have no more to say, save to my that Mr. Hersham has his name in the world. I he will that it was through me that he was re-instated in his estates; by my the of Madaline, and that of the late Sir Francis, his father. I think that he should me. In this I take my leave.

The of Anne Colmer--
"I am the of Mrs. Colmer, of Taxton-on-Thames, the sister of Emma Colmer, who died in Paris under the name of Emma Calvert, and the of Madaline Garry, as Mrs. Boazoph. I saw the letter--or the envelope--which she for my mother, to the photograph of my sister from Sir Gregory. It was taken out of our house by Herbert Vaud, and I he sent it to Sir Gregory with the star, making the in Tooley's Alley. I had no idea that Vaud the death of my sister on Gregory. I that he him, and that he would do him if he could, but I did not know that he would go so as murder.
"I to Ted Hersham on the twenty-first, as my mother told me that she that Vaud had taken the envelope, and that he to Sir Gregory. I wanted Ted to the envelope. Afterwards, I that I would see my aunt in Tooley's Alley, as I she had great with Vaud. I sent the telegram, and immediately, without returning to the house, I up to town. I was by the train down, and I did not arrive in town till nearly seven o'clock. I to the Red Star, where I saw Mr. Fanks; and then of the crime. I that Vaud might have it, but I was not sure. I was my mother should be in it; as she me that she had told Vaud about the of the false Sir Gregory, and about the cross. This had been related to her by Mrs. Boazoph, when we learned that Sir Gregory had the death of his wife, my sister.
"I to the envelope, in case my aunt should into trouble, and to obtain the photograph, the police should the of the so-called Emma Calvert with myself and my mother. I up to the in Half-Moon Street. There I saw Mr. Fanks, and I him as a detective. I had him and his name when I had been at the Red Star, after the of the crime. I was we would all into trouble, therefore, I took of Robert's to the room. I got into a cab, and told the man that I was being by a gentleman. He me to by me in Piccadilly, and afterwards--as I learned--he Mr. Fanks, who me.
"I know nothing about the needle, or how the was accomplished. I about the from my mother. It was with no of Ted into trouble that I told him to assume the dress of Caesar. When the it, I him to make a clean of it, which he did. I did not tell Mr. Fanks what I knew, as I was of my mother and aunt into difficulties. All this is true, I swear, and I know no more about the matter.
(Signed), Anne Colmer."
The of Mrs. Colmer:--
"I told Vaud about the of Gregory for Edward Hersham. My sister, Mrs. Bryant, had it to me. I was with and at the way in which my girl had been by Gregory, and I Vaud might see about him out of the place he occupied, and so his wickedness. I had no idea that Vaud to kill Sir Gregory. Bad as he was, I did not wish to go that far. I only wanted him to be of his and title, so that he should suffer. I gave the envelope, which had been by my sister, Mrs. Bryant, with the address in Half-Moon Street, so that Vaud should call on Sir Gregory, and tell him the truth, and should the photograph of my girl.
"I nothing of the murder, which took place in a low hotel in Tooley's Alley, and which was by a woman called Mrs. Boazoph. I also told Vaud that Ted Hersham was articles on music, and that, to study the subject, he was going about London in the of a negro. I only told him this in the of conversation, and without any motive. This is all I know about the affair.
(Signed), Jane Colmer."
The of Dr. Turnor:--
"I did not take the needle. I nothing of such an instrument. Louis and Binjoy came up to me on the twenty-first to ask me about it. I having it, but Louis did not me. When I was called in by Mrs. Boazoph he would not let me go out of the room. Binjoy under the name of Renshaw. He used that name and a in order to himself in London. After he left, Louis, finding, that I had not the needle, returned to Taxton-on-Thames. Binjoy came back; he told me that Gregory Fellenger was dead, and that he was being watched. I saw his danger, and him to keep up his so as to the police. I the to India; I helped to out the plan.
"He got away to Mere Hall safely, as we thought. When Fanks asked me questions, I did my best to him for the of Binjoy. I had no other motive. I was of the cross, of the of the children. I saw Sir Louis when he succeeded to the by the death of his cousin. I did not him. The of money he gave me was a for my helping Binjoy to escape. I know nothing of the save what I read in the newspaper. I that I have been by Mr. Louis Fellenger, and most by the man who calls himself Fanks. I have nothing more to add.

The of Herbert Vaud:--
"I killed Gregory Fellenger. I am that I killed him. When I out in Paris how he had and the woman I loved, I to make him pay for his wickedness. 'An for an eye,' that is Scripture. I to kill Gregory without to myself; and an opportunity soon occurred. I was at Mrs. Colmer's, at Taxton-on-Thames, commiserating, with her on the death of her and my wife. I did not tell her I to kill the scoundrel; I told nobody. She related to me the history of the of the children, which had been told to her by her sister, Mrs. Bryant, I as Mrs. Boazoph. She wanted to the death of her on Gregory by him of his title and estates. Also, she gave me the address of Gregory, on an by Mrs. Boazoph, and asked me to call upon him for the purpose of telling him what he was, and also, to the photograph which had been and upon by Mrs. Boazoph, in Gregory's chambers.
"I took the envelope, but at that time I did not design the murder. I wanted to kill Gregory, but I not see how to do it with safety to myself. I to Mrs. Boazoph, and learned from her that she had told her son about the tattooing, and the of his position. She me not to see him about his relationship to her. I agreed; for I to kill him, and make him suffer. The taking away of his property was not good in my to him for his wickedness.
"Afterwards I to Taxton-on-Thames to see Binjoy. I that he was a chemist, and I to ask him about a to kill Gregory. He told me about the needle, and it to me. Whether he did so in order to put the idea into my I do not know. I did not tell him that I to kill Gregory; so he is guiltless; but he me the way--innocently, perhaps--to kill Gregory. When I came from Taxton-on-Thames I had the in my possession, and saw how to out my plan. I the on the arm of the heir, and I to make use of that to Gregory to let me his arm with the needle.
"I the in a paper, which I he took in. I saw his answer, and I then sent him the star the meeting-place in Tooley's Alley. I the on the when a star, so that, if necessary, the might on Mrs. Boazoph, his mother. For the same I the Red Star as the meeting-place. To make sure, I use of Hersham's as a negro; and I his to him. Moreover, I that, Hersham, I might be able to the on Binjoy and his servant. In every way I that I was safe.
"I to the Red Star on the twenty-first; I met Mrs. Boazoph, and an to her for my (which she penetrated) that I was about to play a on Binjoy. She that I was mad, and I let her in that delusion. But I here that I am sane; that I killed Gregory with the deliberation, and that I do not what I have done. I into the room; I met Gregory. He took me for the of Dr. Binjoy, he had seen. The lights were low, and I said little; also I my voice. Gregory was a creature, else I should have succeeded in my plan; also he was drunk. I on his in into his presence. At all events he did not know me; and when I told him that the must have the on his arm--a which I said I had from Binjoy--he let me it in his arm. I did so with the needle, and in a space of time he insensible; he died. Then I his and left the hotel. The on the table was used by me as a device to make Gregory think that I was him.
"Afterwards I left a parcel the at his chambers, to myself of all of the crime. Well, I killed him and away. No one else is of the but me. I it without assistance. I alone the in Tooley's Alley and killed Gregory Fellenger, or, rather, Edward Fielding, the son of Madaline Garry and Sir Francis. I am not sorry. I in having a villain. I am sorry that I was out, but I was not when Mrs. Boazoph me. I that she did not do so long ago. When this is read I shall be dead.
(Signed), Herbert Vaud."
