But I knew that what I tell 113 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:26.680 you both will go No, Sir Lord Hollis, I regret 114 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.000 to say, drank to access.

He was utterly incapable of handling a 122 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.439 vote in his conditions, so Lady Diana managed to prevail 123 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.639 upon him to let us accompany him, whom the alcohol 124 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.519 made him fool, hardy and wreck it.

Godson, Well, here we 153 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.720 are the beach, which may offer proof or disproof of my. 154 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.319 Suspicion were you will notice that when. 155 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.560 The corrobors came up with you and I carrying the body, 156 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.120 I chose a route across the sand which would leave 157 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.720 undisturbed the footprints which Lord and Lady Hollis and the 158 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.879 scarf title made when embarking this morning becsul not of 159 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.040 Tretia Watson, but exactly stink in the wet stand.

How do you know which is rich? Because 165 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.079 I took the trouble to look at the shoes both 166 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.199 of the ladies were wearing. 167 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.920 And those large imprints from a rather soul where I'm. 168 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.800 Gladly made by Lord Holland I noticed. 169 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.720 That they waver a trifle which bears out. 170 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.079 The reporter of his condition. Capital Watson. Your observation is 171 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.040 indeed to be commended. 172 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:09.160 Thank you, emerge. 173 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.680 But the most important point about these foot Prince, seems 174 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.000 to have entirely escaped your eye. Here we go again. 175 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.399 I don't understand you can think it. Although while we're 176 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.959 on our way back to Brighten me yes, to Brightening 177 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.199 our ruth to call on Colonel Sheridan. 178 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.879 Sheridan, why he's the chief constabably CONTI. 179 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:40.320 Isn'tly precisely, Watson, Come on, let's be going.

Nevertheless, I feel 182 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.519 it my duty to lay the evidence before you. Climsy evidence, 183 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.440 you must admit, mister Holmes. Climsy perhaps, but it offers 184 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.159 food for thought. Lord how his foot prints in the 185 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.279 sands were not nearly as deep as those led by 186 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.919 his wife and Miss This despite the fact that he 187 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:03.200 was an unusually heavy man. 188 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:04.480 You are, Holmes at fair. 189 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:08.399 I'm sure you did, Watson, and your conclusion from those 190 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.759 foot Prince, Mister Holmes, the extreme depth of Lady Diana's 191 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.960 and Miss kirkwrite. The Prince admits that only one conclusion, Colonel, 192 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.759 what you mean? Their feet sank into the sand because 193 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.960 they were carrying something heavy, not something Colonel someone. 194 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:27.159 Good Heaven hold Lord Hollis's body quite but dash it all, man, 195 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:28.960 We saw the man drown. 196 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.759 I fear miss correct you Watson. We saw the man's 197 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.840 body floating in the water. We did not see him drown. 198 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.080 I fear we would need far more convincing evidence than 199 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.360 those footprinted. The tide is probably washed away by now, 200 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.480 even to consider the necessity for action by the police, 201 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.440 mister Holme, I understand your position, Colonel. May I request, however, 202 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.320 that doctor Miller, the coroner, conducted a most thoroughpost mortem, 203 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.600 was caause with special attention to any possible bruises on 204 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.679 the body, any evidence indicating that Lord Hollis might have 205 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.320 been struck a blow that rented him unconscious before he 206 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.799 was pushed overboard. I shall instruct doctor Miller accordingly, mister Holmes. 207 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:08.960 But I still can't believes anything wrong Nold with Hollison's 208 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.559 use a boy. It was a fine chat, generalous, excellent 209 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.559 writer at her house, or although bit over fond of 210 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.519 the bottle. Yes, Miss Carter told us, Oh, miss Cartwright, 211 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.840 who that woman gives me the cold shivers. She's got 212 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.080 an eye like a basilisk. What about Lady Diana, Colonel 213 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.480 why pat say that I know much about her call 214 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.120 when they were first married, But my wife and her 215 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.519 friends didn't seem to feel that she was quite you understand, 216 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.919 pretty little thing? I thought, oh, very very don't know 217 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.080 where she came from before she married, Hollis I have 218 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.200 an idea of what my wife one said. She had 219 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.440 a rather checkered past. I know she didn't have a 220 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.320 penny to her name before she married. Well, Colonel, we 221 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.919 must be on our way. I would appreciate it if 222 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.919 you'd name me a copy of the Colonel's findings to 223 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.720 two twenty one b.

What are you 251 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.960 talking about? Yes, it's a possibility, a distinct possibility. Come on, 252 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.519 forget that train. You and I are going to pay 253 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:38.159 a visit to doctor Miller, the coroner. But it's fantastic, 254 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.200 mister Holmes, I've never heard of such a thing. That 255 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.200 doesn't mean that it's impossible. Doctor Miller, you are certain 256 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:44.639 that you found no bruises on the body. 257 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.480 Absolutely, I'll take my professional reputation. And then who closes 258 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:48.960 a poison? 259 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:53.360 None? Who occurred to me is supposing that Lord Hollis's 260 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.879 heart had given out her Unfortunately, if your. 261 00:12:55.799 --> 00:13:00.720 Hypothesis, doctor Watson, lord Hollis's heart was an extremely sound shake. No, 262 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.879 the evidence shows conclusively that it was death by drowning. 263 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.759 And I am so stating in my deport you see, Holmes, 264 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.279 I told you Nevertheless, I would still like to see 265 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:10.159 the body, Doctum Miller. 266 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:15.679 Very well, very well, it's in here. You see that 267 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.120 I've already got along fairly well with the post mortine. 268 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.159 Now, gentlemen, it won't take long to discover the idea 269 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.840 that Doctor Watson so brilliantly suggested to me is a 270 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:24.399 valued one. 271 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.000 Your idea, doctor was, don't ask me, do you go? 272 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.399 I have the faintest idea what Holmes is driving at? 273 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:32.720 What is lungs are filled with water, not unnatural. 274 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:33.679 And the man who's been. 275 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.399 Drowned, at least it proves that he was alive when 276 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.320 he went into the water. I knew it. This was 277 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:40.279 no accident, gentlemen. 278 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.080 It was murder. Murder. How do you know, Holmes? 279 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.320 Lord Horace was supposed to have drowned in the sea 280 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.440 before the very eyes of Dr Watson and myself. There's 281 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:51.200 no mark on his body, and his lungs are full 282 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.080 of water. But that water, gentleman, is not salt water, 283 00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:09.639 as it should be. It is fresh water. In just 284 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.960 a moment, we returned to Sherlock Holmes as the endeavors 285 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.919 to solve the mystery of the strange death of Lord Hollis. Men, 286 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.120 It's never too late to help improve the appearance of 287 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.039 your hair. And when you buy a hair tonic, why 288 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.200 not buy one that does lots more than just keep 289 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.960 hair looking handsome. Why not get your money's worth and 290 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.480 buy Kreml hair toning. No other hair tonic keeps the 291 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.000 hair more neatly groomed than attractive looking. Kremmel gives hair 292 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:38.320 that handsome, clean cut appearance, as if your barber had 293 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.279 just combed it. In addition, Kremmel is simply great to 294 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.840 lubricate a dry scalp. At the same time, it removes itchy, 295 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.480 loose dandrufs and leaves the scalps feeling so clean, refreshed, 296 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.480 and alive. No wonder Kremmel is preferred among America's most 297 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.639 prosperous men. Buy a bottle of Cremel at any drug 298 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.960 contest for an application at your barber shop. Use this 299 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.679 highly special rised hair tonic daily for better groomed hair, 300 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.279 a more hygienic scout j R. E. 301 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:07.120 M L. 302 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:12.080 Kremmell hair Tonic. Now, Doctor Watson, what happened at the 303 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.159 Sherlock Holmes's startling discovery that the late Warde Hollis had 304 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:16.679 been drowned in fresh water. 305 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.639 We returned to our hotel of all thoughts, going back 306 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.720 to London and the beds. 307 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:23.639 Holmes paced up and down, deep in thought. 308 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:27.440 His pipe was tense in his jaws, and the room 309 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:29.480 was blue with the fumes, with. 310 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:33.960 The backers fiendishly creper, thought Watson, and one which came 311 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.519 within the tiniest march in a succeeding. I can't argue 312 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.519 with the evidence. 313 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.080 Homes, but I still fail to see her, a little 314 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.240 slip of a girl, missus. 315 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.639 Lady Hollis could first be overpower and drown a strong 316 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.960 active man, unless you're suggesting that her husband. 317 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.080 Was so drunks to be in his stupor. 318 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:49.440 When he was killed. 319 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.519 Not at all. There is one set of circumstances on 320 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.120 to which even a small person would have no difficulty 321 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:58.360 in drowning a much large one. Come here, Watson, and 322 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:04.919 I'll give you a demonstration. Now, if you seat yourself 323 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.000 in the bath and imagine for a moment that you're 324 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:07.960 Lord Hollis. 325 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.480 He's rather sillow. 326 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:17.039 Excellent. Now lean back in the time, relaxing, enjoying your 327 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.919 nationary bath in the part of Lady Diana. 328 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.519 I enter walk over to you with some casual remark. 329 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:31.559 And suddenly do this se pulling a person's feet. Suddenly 330 00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:34.559 I put round, he's in the PANTBM, there's yours outright right? 331 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.399 All right? 332 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.759 It will you let your night feet that had been 333 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.120 full of water, My dear fellow, your head would now 334 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.799 be submerged. Despite your most violent struggles. And in that position, 335 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.840 as you can see, it is utterly impossible to get 336 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.759 a grip on the sides of. 337 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.960 The Tub's most convincing, I shall keep my bathroom door 338 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.159 up in the future. 339 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:53.840 When I'm having a bath. 340 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:57.440 The difficulty, Watson, rests not in convincing you, but a jury. 341 00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.440 Our evidence is slender and the extreme. Whether defense lawyer 342 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.319 would have no difficulty in tearing so tenuous a thread apart? 343 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.839 If I know anything about juris, tell me, Holmes that. 344 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.000 The perpetrator of so fiendish and cold birded a crime 345 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.720 is to be allowed to go free. 346 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.480 Let me call your attention, Watson, to the fact that 347 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.720 both Lady Diana and Miss Cartwright, beneath their frail and 348 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.640 helpless exteriors, must be women of the utmost resolution and determination. 349 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.240 Perhaps the two of them had planned out the whole 350 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.799 drizzly business fire in advance. At any rate, after Lady 351 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.279 Diana drowned him, they must have taken the dead man 352 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.359 from the tub, dressed him, and together one at his 353 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:36.519 feet and one at his head, carried him down to 354 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.119 their boat. That of course accounts for the deep indentations 355 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.759 of their footprints. But Lord Hollis's prince very simple. Once 356 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.160 the body was in the boat, with Miss Cartwright guarding it, 357 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.480 lated Diana walked down the shore below high tide mark 358 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.720 and up to the house by another roof. See then 359 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.000 she she put on a pair of Lord Hollis's shoes, 360 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.839 walked out of the boat, thus creating the principle supposed 361 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:02.200 to be his. Quite so, then they sailed out, waited 362 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.160 until some boat was near enough for their signals of 363 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.839 this treat to be visible, slid the body overboard, and 364 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:09.279 began to act out their little drama or hang together. 365 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:13.920 As an explanation, yes, as evidence knows, and as I 366 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.519 told you at the beginning, Watson, those two women are 367 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.880 not the type whom a simple accusation will break down. 368 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.720 You can wager that the Royal Miss Cartwright will guard 369 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:25.160 her mistress's secret with her life. And as for Lady Diana, 370 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:28.480 a woman capable of killing her husband in so diabolically 371 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.920 clever a manner, will not break under accusations.
