Having
got
so
far
,
my
next
step
was
,
of
course
,
to
examine
into
the
details
of
the
crime
,
and
to
see
how
far
they
would
help
us
.
I
went
up
to
the
house
with
the
inspector
and
saw
all
that
was
to
be
seen
.
The
wound
upon
the
dead
man
was
,
as
I
was
able
to
determine
with
absolute
confidence
,
fired
from
a
revolver
at
the
distance
of
something
over
four
yards
.
There
was
no
powder
blackening
on
the
clothes
.
Evidently
,
therefore
,
Alec
Cunningham
had
lied
when
he
said
that
the
two
men
were
struggling
when
the
shot
was
fired
.
Again
,
both
father
and
son
agreed
as
to
the
place
where
the
man
escaped
into
the
road
.
At
that
point
,
however
,
as
it
happens
,
there
is
a
broadish
ditch
,
moist
at
the
bottom
.
As
there
were
no
indications
of
boot-marks
about
this
ditch
,
I
was
absolutely
sure
not
only
that
the
Cunninghams
had
again
lied
but
that
there
had
never
been
any
unknown
man
upon
the
scene
at
all
.
"
And
now
I
have
to
consider
the
motive
of
this
singular
crime
.
To
get
at
this
,
I
endeavoured
first
of
all
to
solve
the
reason
of
the
original
burglary
at
Mr.
Acton
's
.
I
understood
,
from
something
which
the
colonel
told
us
,
that
a
lawsuit
had
been
going
on
between
you
,
Mr.
Acton
,
and
the
Cunninghams
.
Of
course
,
it
instantly
occurred
to
me
that
they
had
broken
into
your
library
with
the
intention
of
getting
at
some
document
which
might
be
of
importance
in
the
case
.
"
"
Precisely
so
,
"
said
Mr.
Acton
.
"
There
can
be
no
possible
doubt
as
to
their
intentions
.
I
have
the
clearest
claim
upon
half
of
their
present
estate
,
and
if
they
could
have
found
a
single
paper
--
which
,
fortunately
,
was
in
the
strong-box
of
my
solicitors
--
they
would
undoubtedly
have
crippled
our
case
.
"
"
There
you
are
,
"
said
Holmes
,
smiling
.
"
It
was
a
dangerous
,
reckless
attempt
in
which
I
seem
to
trace
the
influence
of
young
Alec
.
Having
found
nothing
,
they
tried
to
divert
suspicion
by
making
it
appear
to
be
an
ordinary
burglary
,
to
which
end
they
carried
off
whatever
they
could
lay
their
hands
upon
.
That
is
all
clear
enough
,
but
there
was
much
that
was
still
obscure
.
What
I
wanted
,
above
all
,
was
to
get
the
missing
part
of
that
note
.
I
was
certain
that
Alec
had
torn
it
out
of
the
dead
man
's
hand
,
and
almost
certain
that
he
must
have
thrust
it
into
the
pocket
of
his
dressing-gown
.
Where
else
could
he
have
put
it
?
The
only
question
was
whether
it
was
still
there
.
It
was
worth
an
effort
to
find
out
,
and
for
that
object
we
all
went
up
to
the
house
.
"
The
Cunninghams
joined
us
,
as
you
doubtless
remember
outside
the
kitchen
door
.
It
was
,
of
course
,
of
the
very
first
importance
that
they
should
not
be
reminded
of
the
existence
of
this
paper
otherwise
they
would
naturally
destroy
it
without
delay
.
The
inspector
was
about
to
tell
them
the
importance
which
we
attached
to
it
when
,
by
the
luckiest
chance
in
the
world
,
I
tumbled
down
in
a
sort
of
fit
and
so
changed
the
conversation
.
"
"
Good
heavens
!
"
cried
the
colonel
,
laughing
,
"
do
you
mean
to
say
all
our
sympathy
was
wasted
and
your
fit
an
imposture
?
"
"
Speaking
professionally
,
it
was
admirably
done
,
"
cried
I
,
looking
in
amazement
at
this
man
who
was
forever
confounding
me
with
some
new
phase
of
his
astuteness
.
"
It
is
an
art
which
is
often
useful
,
"
said
he
.
