THE
DAVENPORT
CABINET.--This
little
cabinet
must
by
no
means
be
confounded
with
the
wardrobe
in
which
the
notorious
Brothers
performed
their
mystic
evolutions.
The
cabinet
now
in
question
is
but
four
inches
high
and
two
and
a
half
square,
and
consists
of
two
parts,
an
outer
case,
or
body,
covered
at
the
top,
but
otherwise
open
throughout,
and
a
drawer,
occupying
the
upper
portion
of
its
interior
space.
(See
Fig.
89.)
When
the
drawer
is
removed,
the
case,
which
has
no
bottom,
may
be
examined
throughout,
and
will
be
found
to
be
perfectly
plain
and
unsophisticated;
save
that
a
keen
examiner
might
observe
a
little
brass
pin,
a
quarter
of
an
inch
long,
projecting
from
the
back
of
the
cabinet
on
the
inside,
just
on
a
level
with
the
bottom
of
the
drawer
when
replaced
in
its
proper
position.
The
drawer
may
also
be
examined,
and
will
be
found
to
be
perfectly
plain,
with
the
bottom
(which
is
so
thin
as
to
preclude
any
suspicion
of
a
concealed
space),
covered
within
and
without
with
black
cloth.
On
turning
the
drawer
round,
and
examining
the
back,
a
minute
hole
may
be
discovered,
corresponding
in
situation
with
the
brass
pin
already
mentioned.
