‘B.C.

reasoned that they all couldn’t have good
alibis. You did not know that the girl was
out with Hughes on the 10th, for if you did
know that you would not need to go to all
the trouble you did. When you reached
the glade it was almost dark and you backed
the car almost into the clearing. On getting
out of the car you took off your hat and
put it on the seat beside you, and then you
found that the bag containing the girl’s
clothing was at the door which was the most
convenient for taking the body out, so that
you had to take the bag out first, and, whilst
doing this, the girl’s beret fell out of the bag.
You had to undress the corpse again, break
the watch, and stage the struggle scene. It
was quite dark by the time you had finished,
and you were very frightened that someone
might happen along to the glade. In the ex-
citement of making your get-away you
stuffed your own hat into the bag with the
girl’s clothes instead of the beret. You
dumped the clothes, and it was not until you
got back to town that you missed your hat.
You searched, and then you realised that
you must have either packed it with the
clothes or dropped it somewhere. You
thought that it might have been in the
glade, but the newspaper reports reassured
you on that point. I did not think the ad.
would bring you, but I was prepared to wait
a few days before going to take you at your
home.”

“There’s enough dramatic stuff there for
a novel,” Garret commented when his friend
had finished speaking. “I must read up the
detail. What happened to Moran?”
