The warden of the inn and the watchman were absent.

About midnight, one of the boys noticed that someone entered the hall through a window without a grille and opened the door latch for another person to enter.

The police said that these two incomes took away the boy, who was later found dead, but the frightened student who witnessed the kidnapping did not disclose this information to anyone.
