Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Capítulo 4, Página 3
“Boscombe
Valley
is
near
Ross,
in
Herefordshire.
The
biggest
landowner
is
Mr.
John
Turner.
He
made
money
in
Australia
and
came
back
here.
He
rented
a
farm
to
Mr.
Charles
McCarthy,
who
also
lived
in
Australia.
They
were
friends.
Turner
was
richer,
so
McCarthy
rented
from
him.
McCarthy
had
a
son,
18
years
old.
Turner
had
a
daughter,
also
18.
They
did
not
have
wives.
They
lived
quietly
but
liked
sports.
McCarthy
had
two
servants,
a
man
and
a
girl.
Turner
had
about
six
servants.
That
is
what
I
know
about
them.
Now,
the
facts.”
“On
June
3rd,
last
Monday,
McCarthy
left
his
house
at
3
in
the
afternoon.
He
walked
to
Boscombe
Pool,
a
small
lake.
He
went
out
with
his
servant
in
the
morning
and
said
he
had
an
important
meeting
at
3.
He
did
not
come
back
alive.”
“From
Hatherley
Farmhouse
to
Boscombe
Pool
is
a
short
walk.
Two
people
saw
him.
One
was
an
old
woman.
The
other
was
William
Crowder,
Mr.
Turner’s
game-keeper.
Both
said
McCarthy
walked
alone.
The
game-keeper
saw
McCarthy’s
son,
James,
with
a
gun.
The
son
followed
his
father.
The
game-keeper
did
not
think
more
about
it
until
he
heard
about
the
tragedy.”
“The
two
McCarthys
were
seen
again.
The
pool
is
surrounded
by
woods.
A
girl,
Patience
Moran,
was
picking
flowers.
She
saw
Mr.
McCarthy
and
his
son.
They
were
fighting.
She
heard
Mr.
McCarthy
use
strong
words.
She
saw
the
son
raise
his
hand.
She
got
scared
and
ran
home.
She
told
her
mother
about
the
fight.
Then
young
Mr.
McCarthy
came
running.
He
said
his
father
was
dead.
He
asked
for
help.
He
was
excited,
without
his
gun
or
hat.
His
hand
and
sleeve
had
blood.
They
found
the
body
by
the
pool.
The
head
was
hit
many
times
with
something
heavy.
The
son’s
gun
was
near
the
body.
The
son
was
arrested.
The
court
said
it
was
‘wilful
murder.’
The
case
goes
to
the
next
Assizes.
Those
are
the
main
facts.”
“This
case
looks
very
bad,”
I
said.
“If
evidence
ever
showed
someone
guilty,
it
does
here.”
"Circumstantial
evidence
is
tricky,"
said
Holmes.
"It
can
look
like
it
points
to
one
thing.
But
if
you
change
your
view,
it
can
point
to
something
else.
The
case
looks
bad
for
the
young
man,
and
he
might
be
guilty.
But
some
people,
like
Miss
Turner,
believe
he
is
innocent.
Lestrade,
who
you
know
from
the
Study
in
Scarlet,
is
working
on
the
case.
He
asked
me
for
help.
That's
why
we
are
going
west
now
instead
of
having
breakfast
at
home."
"I
think,"
I
said,
"the
facts
are
clear.
You
may
not
find
much
to
solve
here."
"Clear
facts
can
trick
you,"
Holmes
laughed.
"We
might
find
other
facts
that
Lestrade
missed.
I
can
confirm
or
change
his
ideas.
For
example,
I
know
your
bedroom
window
is
on
the
right.
Lestrade
might
not
notice
that."
