"But
a
cripple!"
I
said.
"How
could
he
have
done
anything
against
a
man
in
his
prime?"
"He
is
a
cripple
because
he
limps,
but
in
other
ways,
he
seems
strong
and
healthy.
Surely
your
medical
experience,
Watson,
tells
you
that
weakness
in
one
limb
often
means
extra
strength
in
others."
"Please
continue
your
story."
"Mrs.
St.
Clair
fainted
when
she
saw
the
blood
on
the
window,
and
the
police
took
her
home
in
a
cab
since
she
couldn't
help
them
with
their
investigation.
Inspector
Barton,
who
led
the
case,
examined
the
place
carefully
but
found
nothing
to
explain
the
matter.
One
mistake
was
not
arresting
Boone
immediately,
as
he
had
a
few
minutes
to
speak
with
his
friend,
the
Lascar,
but
this
was
soon
fixed.
He
was
caught
and
searched,
but
nothing
was
found
to
incriminate
him.
There
were
some
bloodstains
on
his
right
shirt
sleeve,
but
he
pointed
to
a
cut
on
his
ring
finger
and
said
the
blood
came
from
there.
He
added
that
he
had
been
at
the
window
not
long
before,
and
the
stains
there
were
probably
from
the
same
source.
He
strongly
denied
ever
seeing
Mr.
Neville
St.
Clair
and
swore
that
the
clothes
in
his
room
were
as
much
a
mystery
to
him
as
to
the
police.
He
said
Mrs.
St.
Clair
must
have
been
mad
or
dreaming
to
claim
she
saw
her
husband
at
the
window.
He
was
taken
to
the
police
station,
loudly
protesting,
while
the
inspector
stayed
at
the
scene,
hoping
the
low
tide
might
reveal
a
new
clue."
"And
it
did,
though
they
didn't
find
on
the
mud
what
they
feared.
It
was
Neville
St.
Clair's
coat,
not
Neville
St.
Clair
himself,
that
lay
uncovered
as
the
tide
went
out.
And
what
do
you
think
they
found
in
the
pockets?"
"I
can't
imagine."
"No,
I
don't
think
you
would
guess.
Every
pocket
was
full
of
pennies
and
half-pennies—pennies
and
270
half-pennies.
It's
no
wonder
it
wasn't
taken
away
by
the
tide.
But
a
human
body
is
different.
There's
a
strong
current
between
the
wharf
and
the
house.
It's
likely
the
heavy
coat
stayed
while
the
body
was
pulled
away
into
the
river."
"But
I
heard
that
all
the
other
clothes
were
found
in
the
room.
Would
the
body
be
wearing
only
a
coat?"
