“
Surely
,
”
said
I
,
“
the
man
’
s
appearance
would
go
far
with
any
jury
?
”
“
That
is
a
dangerous
argument
my
dear
Watson
.
You
remember
that
terrible
murderer
,
Bert
Stevens
,
who
wanted
us
to
get
him
off
in
’
87
?
Was
there
ever
a
more
mild
-
mannered
,
Sunday
-
school
young
man
?
”
“
It
is
true
.
”
“
Unless
we
succeed
in
establishing
an
alternative
theory
,
this
man
is
lost
.
You
can
hardly
find
a
flaw
in
the
case
which
can
now
be
presented
against
him
,
and
all
further
investigation
has
served
to
strengthen
it
.
By
the
way
,
there
is
one
curious
little
point
about
those
papers
which
may
serve
us
as
the
starting
-
point
for
an
inquiry
.
On
looking
over
the
bank
-
book
I
found
that
the
low
state
of
the
balance
was
principally
due
to
large
checks
which
have
been
made
out
during
the
last
year
to
Mr
.
Cornelius
.
I
confess
that
I
should
be
interested
to
know
who
this
Mr
.
Cornelius
may
be
with
whom
a
retired
builder
has
such
very
large
transactions
.
Is
it
possible
that
he
has
had
a
hand
in
the
affair
?
Cornelius
might
be
a
broker
,
but
we
have
found
no
scrip
to
correspond
with
these
large
payments
.
Failing
any
other
indication
,
my
researches
must
now
take
the
direction
of
an
inquiry
at
the
bank
for
the
gentleman
who
has
cashed
these
checks
.
But
I
fear
,
my
dear
fellow
,
that
our
case
will
end
ingloriously
by
Lestrade
hanging
our
client
,
which
will
certainly
be
a
triumph
for
Scotland
Yard
.
”
I
do
not
know
how
far
Sherlock
Holmes
took
any
sleep
that
night
,
but
when
I
came
down
to
breakfast
I
found
him
pale
and
harassed
,
his
bright
eyes
the
brighter
for
the
dark
shadows
round
them
.
The
carpet
round
his
chair
was
littered
with
cigarette
-
ends
and
with
the
early
editions
of
the
morning
papers
.
An
open
telegram
lay
upon
the
table
.
“
What
do
you
think
of
this
,
Watson
?
”
he
asked
,
tossing
it
across
.
It
was
from
Norwood
,
and
ran
as
follows
:
Important
fresh
evidence
to
hand
.
McFarlane
’
s
guilt
definitely
established
.
Advise
you
to
abandon
case
.
—
LESTRADE
.
“
This
sounds
serious
,
”
said
I
.
