The Daily Telegraph remarked that in the history of crime there had seldom been a tragedy which presented stranger features («Дейли Телеграф» отмечала, что в истории преступности редко встречается трагедия с такими странными особенностями). The German name of the victim (немецкое имя жертвы), the absence of all other motive (отсутствие какого-либо мотива), and the sinister inscription on the wall (и зловещая надпись на стене), all pointed to its perpetration by political refugees and revolutionists (все указывало на то, что преступление совершено политэмигрантами и революционерами; perpetration — совершение преступления; to perpetrate — совершать /преступление и т. п./; refugee — беженец, эмигрант). The Socialists had many branches in America (социалисты имели много отделений в Америке), and the deceased had, no doubt, infringed their unwritten laws (и покойный, несомненно, нарушил их неписанные законы), and been tracked down by them (и был выслежен ими; track — след). After alluding airily to the Vehmgericht (вскользь упомянув Лигу святого суда[7]; airily — легко), aqua tofana (аква тофана[8]), Carbonari (карбонариев[9]), the Marchioness de Brinvilliers (маркизу де Бринвильер[10]), the Darwinian theory (теорию Дарвина), the principles of Malthus (принципы Мальтуса), and the Ratcliff Highway murders (и убийства на Рэтклифф-хайвэй[11]), the article concluded by admonishing the Government (статья заканчивалась предупреждением правительству; to admonish — предостерегать) and advocating a closer watch over foreigners in England (и призывом к более тщательному наблюдению за иностранцами в Англии; to advocate — советовать, рекомендовать; close — внимательный; тщательный).

The papers next day were full of the "Brixton Mystery," as they termed it. Each had a long account of the affair, and some had leaders upon it in addition. There was some information in them which was new to me. I still retain in my scrap-book numerous clippings and extracts bearing upon the case. Here is a condensation of a few of them:—

The Daily Telegraph remarked that in the history of crime there had seldom been a tragedy which presented stranger features. The German name of the victim, the absence of all other motive, and the sinister inscription on the wall, all pointed to its perpetration by political refugees and revolutionists. The Socialists had many branches in America, and the deceased had, no doubt, infringed their unwritten laws, and been tracked down by them. After alluding airily to the Vehmgericht, aqua tofana, Carbonari, the Marchioness de Brinvilliers, the Darwinian theory, the principles of Malthus, and the Ratcliff Highway murders, the article concluded by admonishing the Government and advocating a closer watch over foreigners in England.
