Chapter 14 Section 14

I also broke up with Officer Trinomon and went back to the cellar.I quickly broke through the last brick wall with a hand drill.Before Mr. Kensley and the others came, I had already cut a big hole in the wall.The walls are solid, with five layers of bricks.I carried the kerosene lamp through the opening, but the draft in the cave was so strong that it extinguished it immediately.I figured out a way to poke my own head into the hole to block the draft, so the lamp wouldn't go out.With the help of the light, I saw the severed limbs, a belly cavity and two legs at a glance.Water from the laboratory sink above washes over the stump.I know they shouldn't be in the drain.I quickly crawled out of the tunnel, locked the drawer door, and found my wife upstairs.I was shaking all over, completely helpless.

I locked the door and ran as fast as possible to the home of Professor Jacob Baikiru on Sammon Street.The professor is not at home.I ran all the way to the house of Dr. Henry Baijiru on Josi Road and reported my findings to him.He took me to Mr. Robert Gauld Shaw on Sammond Street, and asked me to give Mr. Shaw a second account of the situation.Mr. Shaw immediately sent for Commissioner Francis Tooke.The director came soon, and he asked me to go back first, saying that they would be there soon.After 10 to 15 minutes, Director Tooke and Dr. Baijiru arrived at the medical school.Inspector Colap arrived before them.

The hole I drilled was exactly halfway between the ground and the slab of the first floor, and the hole was about 18 inches in diameter from the outer brick opening, and 10 to 12 inches inward.The sewage pipe runs obliquely from the bottom of the toilet to the river, and the length from the toilet mouth to the pipe reaching the ground is about eight or nine feet.It was found that the place where the human limb was severed was not directly below the toilet mouth, but the pipe extended outward to the north wall.When the tide is high, the river water often overflows the north wall and pours into trenches or pipes, sometimes leaving about five or six feet of water in the pipes when the tide goes out.When we were under the laboratory, we heard some noise upstairs, Director Tuke immediately drew his pistol.I found out later that those voices were made by my wife and children.

Before Professor West was escorted back to the Faculty of Medicine that night, Chief Tooke, Inspector Trinomon, and I inspected the furnace.I reached into the stove and pulled out a bone.The front doorbell rang, and I answered it.A policeman said: "We brought Professor West, he is very weak." I opened the door and Professor West walked in.The professor said to me: "They arrested me and took me away from my home without giving me a chance to say goodbye to my family." Professor West looked tense, and I remember him sweating and shivering.He couldn't stand at all and was held up by the police all the time.

We return to Professor West's laboratory.When I got to the back door, they said they wanted to go to the locked room upstairs where the valuables were kept, and I said I didn't have the key.Ask Professor West, he also said no, just like asking him other keys.Someone asked me where the key to the bathroom was, and I told them they had to ask Professor West, because I'd never seen what a bathroom looked like. Professor West said: "The key is hanging on that nail." They took the key and tried it, but they couldn't get it in.They said to the professor, "That's not right, it's not the bathroom key." "Let me see," said the professor.I handed him the key, and he said, "Here's my closet key, and there's another one that's supposed to be in here somewhere." That's when someone smashed open the bathroom door with an axe.

Then we went down to the basement and brought up the human remains.Inspector Trinomon, Inspector Colap and I were there.We placed the severed limbs on the table one by one.All the people gathered around and stood five or six feet from the table.Professor West was also brought over.He became more and more nervous at this time, sweating like rain, tears and sweat flowing down together. At this time, the public prosecutor Georgie Baymis produced some physical evidence for the witnesses to look at. Regarding the pair of bloody slippers, Evren Littlefield said: "I have seen these slippers, or something similar to them, in his closet."

Of the saw, Yvergin said: "I don't think I've ever seen this saw." Georgie Bemis explained to the jury that Dr Geoff Wyman had examined the spots on the teeth under a microscope and proved that they were not blood.But in any case, since he has been listed as physical evidence by the prosecution, he should show it to the court and let the jurors draw their own conclusions. Evren Littlefield continued to testify: I've seen the jackknife in the tea box, if not the same, it is exactly like it.It was the Monday before Dr. Pikeman disappeared, and Professor West said to me, "Hey, look at my knife." Professor West usually wears a hat and overalls in the laboratory .After he was arrested, those two things disappeared.

I've also seen those towels found in bathrooms with a capital "W" on them.There are also hand cloth rolls, which have been in his laboratory at least two or three years ago.When I went to tell him on Friday that I couldn't get blood from Massachusetts General, he wiped his hands on it. Prosecutor Georgie Bemis, with some necessary remarks, said that upon examination the stain on the towel was acid, not blood. Edward Sawyer, the defense's lawyer, asked: "Did you ever play cards in his laboratory at night?" Evren Littlefield refused to answer. Lawyer Sawyer asked again: "Did Professor West ever find you gambling in his room?" Yvergin replied: "No, sir. At least he himself never mentioned it to me."

Here are Evren Littlefield's answers to questions from Sawyer's attorney: During the week following Dr. Peckman's disappearance, I recalled and pondered over and over the facts I had mentioned in my previous testimony. On Sunday night, the 25th, after my conversation with Professor West, I told my wife that I would monitor his every move.During the day, I also searched for Dr. Pikeman with everyone.I never thought about bounties, I didn't even know there were bounties at the time, I didn't hear about them until the second week.I never told anyone that I was doing it for money, nor did I say that to Professor West.I bet no one can prove that I said it.
