[PW] ? flee at once ...

[blau7103 at comcast.net]

The story that someone once sent a telegram to some friends saying "all is discovered, flee at once," and one or more of them left town is often attributed to Mark Twain, and sometimes to Arthur Conan Doyle or G. K. Chesterton . . . can anyone provide a source citation that would make this more than apocryphal?
