shop clock struck two and nothing hap
pened, and then it went to a quarter past
two and the Super. murmured that he would
have to be going, as he had a lot of work
to do on the Minnock case, and I sincerely
hoped that what I imagined should happen
would happen And then just as my col-
league was making definite signs of leaving,
I heard footsteps in the shop and someone
speaking to the barman. I listened for a
while and then I suddenly stood up and
opened the little door that gave access to
the bar.

“You have called about a lost hat,” I
said to Moran. “Would you kindly step
this way for a moment.” His face was pale
and he tried to bluff, but I only smiled at
him.

“Before I caution you I would like to
tell you a few things I know,” I told him.
“You killed Martha Minnock on the morn-
ing of the 11th July. You killed her in your
own house, and having done so you realised
how difficult it was to bring the body out
with that inquisitive neighbour of yours

that your inquisitive neighbour knew of the
purpose of the journey that morning, but
you were careful not to let him see the car
garaging when you returned. At 8 o'clock
you drove your wife back again to the
mental home, then you hurried back to John
Street and were compelled to undertake a
gruesome and risky piece of work. You
partially dressed the body of Martha Min-
nock in your wife’s clothes, propped it in
the back of your car and told your neigh-
bour that you were forced to bring your
wife back again to the home. You drove
towards the village of Lisson and you car-
ried some luggage with you on the journey.
You had the girl’s clothes and boots stuffed
into a bag which you intended getting rid
of either on the outward or return journey.
On the way to the village you planned that
the murder should look like the work of two
or three, because you knew the girl to be of
a flirtatious character, and you thought that
by throwing suspicion on to her friends
there was a greater chance of one or more
of them being picked up for the crime—you
