The millionaire had been at the house on Riverside Drive early in the afternoon to see Miss Bamberger, as he had told Margaret on board the steamer, but Bamberger had not seen his daughter after that till she was brought home dead, for he had been detained by an important meeting at which he presided, and knowing that she was dining out to go to the theatre he had telephoned that he would dine at his club.

He himself had tried to telephone to Van Torp later in the evening but had not been able to find him, and had not seen him till Friday.
This was the substance of the evidence which Bamberger's lawyer and the detective would lay before the District Attorney-General on receiving the cable..
