wrote, he talked He said that he
thought Mark had shot his brother
in a fit of anger, and that Cayley
knew, or anyhow guessed, this, and
had tried to give his cousin a
chance of getting away.
"Mind you, I think he's right. I
think that’s what any of us would
do. I shan’t give It away, of course,

little things which make me think
that Mark really did shoot his

"No. there rather hopeless, isn't
it? Bill thought again. "Well,” he
said reluctantly, ''suppose Mark
confessed that he’d murdered his
brother?" -
"That better. Bill. Don't by
afraid to get away from the acc-
dent idea. Well, then, your new
theory is this: Mark confesses to
Cayley that he shot Robert on pur-
pose, and Cayley decides, even at
the risk of committing perjury, and
getting into trouble himself, to help
Mark to escape. Is that right?”
Bill nodded.
, •'Well. then. I want to ask you
two questions: First, is it possible,
as I said before dinner, that any
man would commit such an idiotic
’ murder, a murder* that puts the
rope so very tightly round his neck?
Secondly, if Cayley is prepared to
perjure himself for Mark—as he has
to, anyway, now—wouldn’t ‘it be
simpler for him to say that he was
■ in the office all the time, and that
Robert's death was accidental?”
Bill considered this carefully and
then nodded slowly again.
"Yes, my simple explanation is a
washout!" he said. “Now let’s have
yours.”
Antony did not answer him. He
had begun to think about some-
thing quite different
