“But
a
cripple!”
I
said.
“What
could
he
do
against
a
strong
man?”
“He
limps,
but
he
is
strong
in
other
ways.
Your
medical
knowledge,
Watson,
should
tell
you
that
weakness
in
one
limb
can
mean
strength
in
others.”
“Please
continue
your
story.”
“Mrs.
St.
Clair
fainted
when
she
saw
blood
on
the
window.
The
police
took
her
home
in
a
cab
because
she
could
not
help
them.
Inspector
Barton
checked
the
place
carefully
but
found
nothing
new.
They
made
a
mistake
by
not
arresting
Boone
right
away.
He
had
a
few
minutes
to
talk
to
the
Lascar,
but
they
soon
caught
him.
They
found
nothing
on
him.
There
were
bloodstains
on
his
shirt,
but
he
showed
a
cut
on
his
finger
and
said
the
blood
came
from
there.
He
said
he
went
to
the
window
before,
and
the
stains
came
from
his
finger.
He
denied
seeing
Mr.
St.
Clair
and
said
the
clothes
in
his
room
were
a
mystery
to
him.
He
said
Mrs.
St.
Clair
was
wrong
about
seeing
her
husband.
They
took
him
to
the
police
station,
and
the
inspector
stayed,
hoping
the
tide
would
give
more
clues.”
“And
it
did.
They
did
not
find
what
they
feared.
It
was
Mr.
St.
Clair’s
coat,
not
him,
on
the
mud-bank
as
the
tide
went
out.
What
do
you
think
they
found
in
the
pockets?”
“I
cannot
guess.”
"No,
I
don't
think
you
would
guess.
Every
pocket
was
full
of
pennies
and
half-pennies—pennies
and
270
half-pennies.
No
wonder
it
didn't
get
swept
away
by
the
tide.
But
a
human
body
is
different.
There
is
a
strong
current
between
the
wharf
and
the
house.
It
seems
likely
that
the
heavy
coat
stayed,
but
the
body
was
pulled
into
the
river."
"But
I
understand
all
the
other
clothes
were
in
the
room.
Would
the
body
wear
only
a
coat?"
