But then Holmes 42 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.479 and I had been as astonished as Gregson to hear 43 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.759 that he found standers. 44 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:02.120 And murdered too. 45 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.000 The straight had brought a box containing two pills which 46 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:09.240 he had found near the body. 47 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.360 Exclaiming that at last his case was complete, Elmes wasted. 48 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.439 No time in feeding one of the poor aging dog, 49 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.280 which our landlady had asked us that morning to have destroyed. 50 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:27.439 To his dismay, the effect was nil. With his whole 51 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.159 case hanging upon the consequences, Elmes proceeded to grind the 52 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:32.800 only remaining pilloll into some. 53 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.919 Milk, and watched angstous. 54 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.280 As the dog drank. 55 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:55.360 A poor old chap he worked.

If I 64 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.600 know the name of the murderer, I do. The mere 65 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.079 knowing of his name is a small thing, however, compared 66 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.120 to the power of laying our hands upon him. 67 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.360 This I expect that it ish want it to do. 68 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.199 But I have good hopes of managing it through my 69 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.079 own arrangements. But it's a thing which needs delicate handling. 70 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.480 We have a shrewd and desperate man to deal with 71 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.000 at present.

I've got a 100 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.839 good deal to say. You're a doctor, aren't you here 101 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.240 the am?

I went to a 105 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.600 doctor last week about it, and he told me if 106 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.120 it's bound to burst before many days have passed, and 107 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.560 it has been getting worse for years, Doctor Watson. 108 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:41.079 He isn't victim. 109 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.519 You consider there is in Egypt danger? 110 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.279 Most certainly there is. 111 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.160 In that case. It's clearly our duty and the interests 112 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.240 of justice to take his statement. Will you write it down? 113 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.680 Business in less trade? I have cautioned you, and you 114 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:55.920 are at liberty to give your. 115 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:57.560 Account, which this opposite will take down. 116 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.959 I understand. I'll sit down with your leaves by all me. 117 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:03.439 Thank you. 118 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.240 This aneurism of mine makes me easily tired, and that 119 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.399 tussle we had just now hasn't mended matters. I am 120 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.240 on the brink of the grave, and I am not 121 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.399 likely to lie to you, gentlemen. 122 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:18.759 Right I'm ready close. 123 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.000 He did. It doesn't much matter to you why I 124 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.920 hated those two men. It's enough that they were guilty 125 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.279 of the death of two human beings, a father and 126 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.160 a daughter, and that they have therefore forfeited their own lives. 127 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.240 That girls who have married me in America twenty years ago, 128 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.680 she was forced into marrying that same. 129 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.600 Drebber and broke her heart over it. 130 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.800 I took the marriage ring from her dead finger, and 131 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.959 I bowed that his dying eyes should rest upon that 132 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.120 very ring, and that his last thoughts should be of 133 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.279 the crime for which he was punished. I had carried 134 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.160 it about with me and followed him and his accomplice 135 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:08.040 over two continents until I coughed. I died tomorrow, I says, 136 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:12.360 like I die knowing that my work in this world 137 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.360 is done. When I got to London, my pocket was 138 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.839 about empty, and I found that I must turn my 139 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.319 hand to something for my living, driving and riding or 140 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.600 as natural to me as walking. So I applied of 141 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.120 a cab on in his office. Soon got a blund 142 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.720 for some time before I found out where my two 143 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.039 gentlemen were living. They were at a boarding I was 144 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.240 a camberwell over on the other side of the river. 145 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.000 I had grown my beard, and there was no chance 146 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.840 of their recognizing me. Go where they would about London. 147 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:48.320 I was always at their heels. At last one evening 148 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.399 I was driving up and down torquey Terrace when I 149 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.480 saw a cab draw up at their door. Presently, some 150 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.360 luggage was brought out, and after a time tebber and 151 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.799 stangers and followed it and drove off. I whipped up 152 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.679 my horse and kept it inside of them, feeling very 153 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.720 ill at ease, but I fear that they were going 154 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.600 to shift their quarries. At Euston station, they got out 155 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:13.960 and I left the boy to hold my horse and 156 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.440 followed them on the platform. We got near enough to 157 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:21.559 hear what they were saying. Would I tell you there 158 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:27.440 isn't another Liverpool train for hours, So who cares I care? 159 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.559 A sooner? We're on a train to Liverpool and getting 160 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.000 out of here. My happier. 161 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:36.240 I'll be well, Stangerson, we'll just have to wait, won't wait. 162 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.240 I'll come to think of it. I have a little 163 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.840 business on my own to do. 164 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.600 Now, if you just hang around here someplace, I'll go 165 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:47.200 off and i'll join you later. 166 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:48.879 If you go, I'm going with you. 167 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.080 Will you see this? 168 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.279 Little Maddy's kind of delicate? 169 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.240 You will? You'd be in the way? 170 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:56.840 Here's that? 171 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:57.159 So? 172 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.960 Well? Either I go with you or they both stay here. 173 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:02.480 You can take it or leave it. 174 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:06.639 Revel dear Stangerson, It's about time he remembered. You're nothing 175 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.399 more than a paid servant around here. The hell do 176 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.759 you think you are trying. 177 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:11.559 To dictate to me? 178 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.879 I didn't mean it that way. How sounded to mean 179 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.000 I'll cut it out once and for all. Okay, then, 180 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.519 but look, supposing you're not back in time for the train, 181 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:23.960 HiT's the last one tonight. 182 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.000 Oh, I'll be back here before eleven, and tell you what. 183 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:34.080 If I'm not, we'll meet up again at Halliday's Hotel. 184 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:34.799 Let's suit you. 185 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:36.720 I guess it will happen. 186 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.919 A moment for which I had waited so long had 187 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.960 come at last. My plans were already formed. It chanced 188 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.559 that some days before a gentleman who had been looking 189 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.759 over some empty houses off the Brixton Road and dropped 190 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.639 the key of one of them in my carriage. How 191 00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.600 to get rever to that house was the problem? Handsome 192 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.399 in front of mine and he hailed it. I followed 193 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.159 it for mile until, to my astonishment, we found ourselves 194 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.000 back in the terrace where he had bought it. I 195 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.440 went on and pulled up my cab one hundred yards 196 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.840 or so from the house. He entered it, and his 197 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.679 handsome drove away. Well. I waited for a quarter of 198 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.879 an hour or more, when suddenly there came a noise 199 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.799 like people struggling inside the house. Next moment the door 200 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.679 was flung open and two men appeared. One of them 201 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.080 was Drebber and the other was a young chap whom 202 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:33.240 I'd never seen before. 203 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.440 He armed a teacher dread talking on his g got 204 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:39.639 your hands off me. 205 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.000 If you're out of this road. 206 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.559 In quite tenth seconds, I'll mad this. I still across 207 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:45.679 you for your work here with a. 208 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:53.240 Walk now, get already, okay, okay, I'm going hey you. 209 00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:01.159 Dammy has come now. He is a nowadays protel. 210 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.679 I mean I had him fairly inside my cab. My 211 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.480 heart jumped so much with joy that I feared lest 212 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:21.639 at this last moment my aneurysm might go wrong. I 213 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:23.559 was once jam at her and. 214 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.000 Sleeper out of a laboratory in the State. 215 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.600 One day professor was lecturing on some alkaloid which was 216 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.679 so powerful that the least grain meant instant death. When 217 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.120 they were all gone, I helped myself to a little 218 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.799 of it. I was a fairly good dispenser, so I 219 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:46.320 worked this alkaloid into small soluble pills, and each pill 220 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.080 I put in a box with a similar pill made 221 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:53.399 without the poison. I determined that when I. 222 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.320 Had my chance, my gentleman should eat have a. 223 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.200 Draw out of one of those boxes while I ate 224 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:04.200 the pill from From that day I had always my 225 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.799 pillboxes about with me, and the time had now come 226 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:14.159 when I was the use was nearer. One twelve, the 227 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:20.120 wild bleak night blowing hard, my hands were tumbling, my 228 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.279 company pobbing with excitement. Was not a soul to be 229 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.840 seen when I looked in at the cabin, though, I 230 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:35.360 found wherever huddle run and sea, come on ere, come on, 231 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.120 wake up, wake up on sight. 232 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.720 Oh it was wasn't marry time to get out. 233 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.200 M oh, alright, I mean you better follow metes.

Let us see if 261 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.519 it is justice up there or if we are used by. 262 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:47.840 Trance, who is we are married?

And this way 265 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.679 you have an epid defense. Get don't take it in 266 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:03.360 all my knife, no chance for you all. 267 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:04.720 Anyway. 268 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:20.519 Ali, Now I'll take the other you've got you. 269 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:36.679 You're listening to the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes being brought to. 270 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.720 You from the BDC over. 271 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:44.960 WFMT in Chicago, presented by Barkley's Bank International, now offering 272 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.639 Barkley's Travelers checks free of commission, offering no charge, checking 273 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.440 with a three hundred dollars minimum balance, Offering you always 274 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.480 a friendly cup of tea and if you like, for 275 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.240 your personal checks. A cameo of Sherlock Holmes imprinted the 276 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:05.519 top left corner Barclay's Bank International at two o eight 277 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:06.759 South Lassal. 278 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.240 I turned them over with my foot and placed my 279 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:21.599 hand a funny heart. There was no movement. He was dead. 280 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.279 The pulses in my temples were beating like sledgehammers. And 281 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:29.240 I believe by what I've had a fit of some sort. 282 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.240 It's the blood knocked gushed from my nose, and believe me. 283 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.440 I remember the German being found in New York with 284 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.240 rash written up above him, and it was argued that 285 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:44.119 the secret societies must have done it. I guess that 286 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:46.640 what puzzled the New York Is would puzzled under it. 287 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.640 So I dipped my finger in my own blood and 288 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.759 printed it on the wall, and then I walked down 289 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.440 to my cap. I had driven some distance. When I 290 00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:59.680 put my hand into the pocket in which I usually 291 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.839 kept Lucy's ring, found it was not there. It was 292 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.400 the only memento I had a thinking that I might 293 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.519 have dropped it when I stooped over Trevor's body. I 294 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.440 drove back, and, leaving my cap on the side street, 295 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.920 I went boldly up to the house and walked right 296 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.599 into the arms of a police officer who was coming out. 297 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:24.559 I managed to fool him by pretending to be hopelessly drunk, 298 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.960 but I had to go away about the. 299 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.319 River there. How about sigt Ooh. 300 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.720 I knew that he was staying in the Holiday's hotel. 301 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.119 Early next morning, I took advantage of some ladders which 302 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:43.359 were lying in the lane behind the hotel, and so 303 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.440 made my way into his room. In the gray of 304 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:49.000 the dawn. I woke him up and told him he 305 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.359 was to answer for the life he had taken so 306 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.759 long before. I gave him the same choice of poisoned pills, 307 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.279 and he sprang from his bed and float my throat 308 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.359 and self defense IE tab him to the heart. I 309 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:09.079 see you got all that, mister Lestrade. Ivery work well? 310 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.160 Is there anything you like to ask, mister Holmes. 311 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.400 There's only one point on which I should like a 312 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.240 little more information. Who wish at a compass? Who came 313 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:17.559 for the ring which I advertised. 314 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:20.880 I can tell you my own secrets, but I don't 315 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.079 get other people to crumble. He had no hand in 316 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.839 the deaths of those two men, and knows nothing of them. 317 00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:30.880 I think we can accept the truth of that graves 318 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.319 very welmstones. But now, gentlemen, the forms of the law 319 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.680 must be complied with. On Thursday, the prisoner will be 320 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.880 booked before the menstress, and your attendance will be required. 321 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.799 Left understood, inspector. Until then, I will be responsible for him. 322 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:50.000 Come along if appears, mister Lestrade, we may as well 323 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:53.039 use his own cab. But I'm afraid we've known they 324 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:58.000 did him bribe. It that you'll have to oblige. Oh, 325 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.559 never mind, at least a camp I have a cab 326 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:10.240 came along. Hope, let's be moving here. 327 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.559 What Gregson and less Trade will be furious about his death. 328 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.400 Well, it was better for the poor devil to die. 329 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:18.640 In his soul than on the scaffold. 330 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:21.400 His life was hanging worth rid. 331 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:24.920 I then say, they won't see it that way. Where 332 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.640 will their grand advertisement be? 333 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.920 Now? How they must have been looking forward to the trial? 334 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.079 I must admit it have been pretty interesting. 335 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.839 Never Mind, I wouldn't have missed the investigation for enity. 336 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.279 There's been no better case within my recollection, simple as 337 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:45.319 it was import and let me see if I can 338 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.960 make it clear now this was a case in which 339 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.279 you were given the result and had to find everything 340 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:52.039 else to yourself. 341 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:53.880 I approached the house with. 342 00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.680 My mind entirely free from all impressions. I began by 343 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:01.279 examining the roadway, and there, as I've already explained to you, 344 00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.079 I saw clearly the marks of a cab, which, as 345 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.839 I ascertained by inquiry, must have been there during the. 346 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.880 Night just a moment. 347 00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:09.599 How could you know was a cab but not a 348 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.039 private carriage? By the narrow gage of the wheel. 349 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:15.559 The ordinary London growler is considerably less wide than a 350 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.559 gentleman's broom. I then walked slowly down the garden path, 351 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.319 which happened to be composed of a clay soil peculiarly 352 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.200 suitable for taking impressions. There's no branch of detective science 353 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.240 which is so important and so much neglected as the 354 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.960 art of tracing footsteps. I saw the heady footmarks of 355 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.400 the constables. That I saw also the track of the 356 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.079 two men who had first passed. 357 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:38.440 Through the garden. 358 00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.119 It was easy to tell that they had been before 359 00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:45.000 the others, because in places their marks had been entirely 360 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.400 obliterated by the others coming upon the top of them. 361 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:49.200 In this way, my. 362 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.200 Second link was formed, which told me that the nocturnal 363 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.799 visitors were two in number, one remarkable for a fight, 364 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.319 as I calculated from the length of the stride, and 365 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.400 the other fashionably dressed. To judge from the small and 366 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.200 elegant impression left by his boots. 367 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:05.599 What next? 368 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:06.960 On entering the. 369 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.000 House, this last inference was confirmed. My well booted man 370 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.160 lay dead before me. The tall one then had done 371 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:14.599 the murder. 372 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:15.839 If murderer was. 373 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.000 Having sniffed the dead man's lips, I detected a slightly 374 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.799 sour smell, and I came to the conclusion that he'd 375 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.559 been poisoned. I argued from the hatred and tear expressed 376 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:28.960 upon his faith that the poison had. 377 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:29.880 Been forced upon him. 378 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.119 And now came the great question as to the reason 379 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.839 why robbery had not been the object of the murder, 380 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:40.359 for nothing was taken. Political assassins, on the other hand, 381 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.440 are only too glad to do their work and to fly. 382 00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:47.200 This murder had been done most deliberately, and the perpetrator 383 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.400 had left his tracks all over the room, and the 384 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.599 inscription on the wall was too obviously a blind No, 385 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:55.400 it must have been a private wrong, and not a 386 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:59.640 political one which called for such a methodical revenge. I 387 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:01.839 was a time from the first to suspect that a 388 00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:03.839 woman was in some way connected ah. 389 00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:06.480 Finding the waiting room death set of the question. 390 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.759 However, I proceeded to make a careful examination of the room, 391 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.680 which confirmed me in my opinion as to the murderer's height, 392 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:16.480 and furnished me with the additional details as to the 393 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:21.400 trichinopoly cigar. I had already come to the conclusion, since 394 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:22.720 there were no signs of a struggle. 395 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:24.559 That the blood which covered the. 396 00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.240 Floor had burst from the murderer's nose in his excitement. 397 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.359 I could see that the track of blood coincided with 398 00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:35.160 the track of his feet. Now, as a medical man, Watson, 399 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:37.400 you will agree that it is seldom that any man 400 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:40.640 breaks out in such a way through emotion, unless he's 401 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.559
