- If still you think me mad, you will so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body. The night waned, and I worked hastily, but in silence. First of all I dismembered the corpse. I cut off the head and the arms and the legs
- I then took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all between the scantlings. I then replaced the boards, so cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye - - not even his - - could have detected any thing wrong.

- When I had made an end of these labors, it was four o'clock -- still dark as midnight. As the bell sounded the hour, their came a knocking at the street door. I went down to open it with a light hearth, -- for what had I now to fear? There entered three men, who introduced themselves, with perfect suavity, as officers of the police.
