A SINGULAR
CASE
Of Supposed Murde: and lit Con
sequences
By ORVILLE GRANT
CopyrlRht by Arprrtmn hw Acio
clntlon. ISU
One evening In the early part of the
last century a man alighted from tho
dally mail coach before the Itoya?
Arms. In Londonderry, Ireland The
porter took down a large trunk, or. !
ratber. IronbotiYtd box such as wa?
frequently used by travelers In those
days, and curried tt Into the Inn
Tbe man was dresMKJ In the costume
of the period -a hearer liar, the crown
sloping toward the top: a "splkctair
green coat, with snuff colored knee
breeches, ruffled shirt and shoes with
sliver buckles His face was cleanly
shaven.
The stranger entered his name as Al
gernon Perkins and was assigned to
room No. "JO. on the second floor
Drawing out his wallet, be counted out
100 sovereigns >ST?00i and deposited
them with tbe landlord for safe keep
ing. He then went to his room, order
ing his supper to be sent up to him.
About 10 o'clock the same ulght a
man with a fiery red beard, a beaver
bell crown bat, a buff coat with flow
ing skirt and trousers, recently in
fashion, tight to tbe skin and strapped
over his instep, entered the same tnn.
gave his name as David Brough and
called for a room.
"1 should like my old rooms." be
said. "Nos 25 and 26."
Tbe landlord failed to remember the
man. but. not caring to admit the fact,
told him that No. 26 was occupied,
but 25 was vacant With an expres
sion of dissatisfaction at not getting
both rooms he accepted tbe substitute
Then be went upstairs.
Ijiter Mr. Brough In his nightshirt
opened his do<>r. called a porter who
was passing through the ball, slipped
a half sovereign into bis band and
said to blm:
"I'm to go off in the Roynl mall ear
ly in the morning and wish my trunk
to be ready to lift on to tbe coach
Carry It down aud leave It In the hall
below, near tbe front door."
Tbe porter pocketed the tip. car
rled the trunk downstairs and placed
it beside the front door. 1'he landlord
who was nodding behind tbe bar
roused himself and asked what he was
doing. The porter told him that a
gentleman who was going early in the
morning had ordered hlin to place the
trunk where It would be rcsdy. Tho
landlord soon after took up a candle
and went to his rooms.
luan. stopping at the Royal Arms to
deliver milk, saw a n>an with a red
beard emerge from the front door of
the inn carrying a heavy trunk under
the weight of which he staggered and
pass down the street. The milkman
delivered the inn's morning supply oi
milk and drove away, thinking no
more of the matter.
At, 10 o'clock the same morning a
housemaid reported to the landlord
that the gentleman in 20 had not left
his room; that she had listened at the
door without hearing any sound and
she believed the room was vacant The
landlord went to tbe room with her,
knocked and. receiving no reply, kick
ed open tbe door.
The room was found vacant and in
confusion. It communicated with No.
25, that had been taken by Mr Brough.
and as no one remembered to have
seen that gentleman since the night
before the landlord tapped on the door
between the two rooms. Receiving no
reply, he opened the door, went Into
the room and found that the bed bad
not been slept In. Bloodstains were
found on the towels.
Subsequently the porter told how he
had been paid a large fee by the oc
cupant of No 25 to carry down his
trunk, and the landlord remembered
that No. 25 had no luggage. Then
came the milkman and told of having
seen a man in a buff suit carrying a
trunk out of the Inn early In the morn
ing. Lastly the landlord remembered
that he had a hundred sovereigns of
Mr. Perkins' money In his strongbox.
The case excited a great deal of at
tention In the country roundabout.
Peculiar circumstances connected with
It contributed to fire tbe public curi
osity. Did Mr. Brough go to the ho
tel purposely to murder Mr. Perkins?
Who was Perkins, and who was
Rrougb? Did Brough get a sufficient
amount to pay him for killing a man
and forever after being hunted by tbe
police and haunted by his conscience?
The favorite theory was that Brough
knew that Perkins bad a hundred sov
ereigns on his person: that be had fot
lowed him to the inn. taken a room
communicating wltb Perkins' room,
entered the latter during the night,
murdered Perkins, packed the body
In Perkins' trunk and carried It away
the next morning. Rut Rrongh was
probably unaware that Perkins had
i^poslted the money with the land
ford and probably after all missed
what he was after.
Since no one knew where Mr.
Rrongh bad gone? and there were no
trained defectives In those days- there
was nothing to do bnt wait for In
formation to come of Itself. It was
learned In a few days that a gentle
man carrying his own trunk ontslde
the city had stopped the coach going
northward and been taken on. The
man wore a buff snlt and had a red
beard He was believed to be Rronirh. j
bnt after tracing him through
towns the trail waa lout.
If there was anything ranting In
the matter of circumstantial proof tbftt
PerklnR had Iwn murdered It waa
supplied lit the fnct that Mb hundred
sovereigns rerun Inert with the land
lord II" neither called fi?r It nor did
any one present an order for It. And
yet there wore person* who believed
that If he had beea murdered hi* fntn
lly would make the furl known that
he was mlsatug. No person In ihe
eountrv roundabout ni>r indeed In
Ireland was rept>rt?-d missing. t"f
communication in those day* was
very slow. and new* traveled neither
fnst nor fnr. Since no rnrther knowl
edce wis gained ** to the Identity of
either Brough or IVrklns. after awhile
Intcresi In the case died down, and It
was at last forgotten.
Abont the time thl* cnrlous rase

occurred In Inndnn. Englnnd. Pdlth,

pillow. In the morning It was gone.
He expected to tlnd that some one
of his servants had disappeared during
the night, but on going downstairs be
found the butler setting the table for
breakfast, the housemaid dusting In
the library and the cook In the kitchen.
These were the only servants kept,
and there was no one else in the honse
who could have taken the money. The
matter was reported to the police, but
in those days the machinery for bunt
ing up criminals whi<b exists today
was unknown, and all hope of recov
ery of the treasure was abandoned
within a few b?ors after It was lost.
Marriages In England were In that
