He 228 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.679 had one of Black Peter's love books in his hand, 229 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.240 dated August eighteen eighty three, but Inspector Hopkins stepped the 230 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.399 handcuffs on it. He was afrail you obviously a gentleman, 231 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.279 and so frightened he could hardly speak. 232 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.519 Now, my fine fellow, who are you inspected? I? If 233 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.399 you imagine that I had anything to do with Captain 234 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:21.399 Caredy's death, you're wrong. 235 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:22.559 Believe me, I'm innocent. 236 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:23.919 Suppose you tell us your name. 237 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:29.440 It's it's Nelligan, John Hopley Nelligan indeed, and the initials 238 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:31.399 would be j H. 239 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.960 What do you think of that, mister Holmes. I'll digest 240 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.320 it later. 241 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:39.480 ADEA hopkinss God and Nelligan. Your name has a familiar sound. 242 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.720 I seem to recall it in connection with financial circles 243 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:43.200 in London. 244 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.480 Yes, I my father is a partner in the banking 245 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.080 firm of Dawson and Mellican by Joe Holmes. 246 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.840 I recall it. Now, the West country beggars who failed 247 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.559 were a million and earned half the county families from Cornwall. 248 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.440 Yes, and it seems to me your father disappeared with 249 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:58.440 some of the securities. 250 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.039 It's a lie. He simply needed time to realize them 251 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.320 and pay back his investors. It's true he fled with 252 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.519 a tin box of securities, but he left a list 253 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.399 with my mother and swore that he would come back 254 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:08.200 with his honor cleared. 255 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.799 And where did your father go, Nelligan? 256 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.120 He started in the small vessel for Norway in August 257 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.759 of eighty three. 258 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.399 Then we've never heard from him again. 259 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.080 Ah, But later the securities he'd taken with him turned 260 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:19.720 up in the market. 261 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:23.000 Yes, yes, mister Holmes, that's just what happened. I spent 262 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.240 many months tracing the original seller, and finally I discovered 263 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:29.879 that he was Captain Peter Carey, otherwise known as Black Peter, 264 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:31.960 one of the Sea Unicorns. 265 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.039 Now we're getting somewhere. The distance between a disappearing banker 266 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.120 and a sea captain pinned to a wall with a 267 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.600 harppoon has shrunken considerably. 268 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:41.279 What's mean? 269 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:45.200 So it seems so it's ze. How do you think 270 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.679 Black Peter acquired your father's securities, Melligan, That's why I 271 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.120 came to the cabin to find out. I suspected some 272 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:52.200 sort of foul play. 273 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.799 So you came to Peter Carey's cabin and found him dead. 274 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.799 You then checked the log books for August eighteen eighty three, 275 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.919 hoping to preclude your father's disappearance, and you'll find that. 276 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.240 No, the pages for that month have been ripped out 277 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:03.919 of this log book. 278 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:06.919 And mister Herston, yes, Hopkins, with your permission, I'll ask 279 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.039 young Lulgin here a few questions. But I who means Hopkins? 280 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.320 I've quite finished now, then, my lad, you came to 281 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.039 the cabin last evening, but you could not break the lock. 282 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:17.039 Is that correct? 283 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.360 Yes, inspect of that's correct, And you were not in 284 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.159 the cabin before that. No, then how do you account 285 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.639 for this notebook? But your initials j hn I I 286 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.679 don't know. I thought I lasted at the hotel. We 287 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.320 founded the skin of the crime. It was covered with blood. 288 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.480 It pooons that you were there at the time that 289 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.679 you quote with Peter carry you took down the hot 290 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.480 poons on the wall, ran him through, and then your 291 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.600 fight dropped the book. No, No, Inspector, that's not true. 292 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:41.240 It's not true. 293 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.960 I tell you, tell us a cotton bull story of 294 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.080 want to see on bog book. What you wanted was 295 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.559 to recover this but stained oat book. You knew it 296 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.919 was evidence of the hangman's loops, Inspector, for the love 297 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:51.200 of Heaven, I tell you I'm innocent. 298 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:51.759 I swear it. 299 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.519 Perhaps the man has something on his side. 300 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.039 And that's the jury to tie that mister Holmes on 301 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.759 the face of the evidence, Elegan, I am arresting you 302 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:01.559 for murder. 303 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.440 Yes, what about young Hopkins and his arrest of Nelligan 304 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.720 back there at Woodman's leave? 305 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:23.159 What about it? 306 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.360 Well, I can't say I blame the inspector. On second thought, 307 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.559 that bloodstained notebook is certainly damning evidence, and certainly Nelligan 308 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.159 had a motive. It seems clear that black Peter did 309 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.440 away with his father, stole the security is all rubbish. 310 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.919 What eh? 311 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.960 Frankly, I'm disappointed in Stanley Hopkins and his methods do 312 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:43.279 not commence itself to me. 313 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.320 They smacked too much of les tarts.
