bi…weekly North Surrey Observer。 Under a series of flaming
headlines; which began with 〃The Haven Horror〃 and ended with
〃Brilliant Police Investigation;〃 there was a packed column of print
which gave the first consecutive account of the affair。 The concluding
paragraph is typical of the whole。 It ran thus:
The remarkable acumen by which Inspector MacKinnon deduced from
the smell of paint that some other smell; that of gas; for example;
might be concealed; the bold deduction that the strong…room might also
be the death…chamber; and the subsequent inquiry which led to the
discovery of the bodies in a disused well; cleverly concealed by a
dog…kennel; should live in the history of crime as a standing
example of the intelligence of our professional detectives。
〃Well; well; MacKinnon is a good fellow;〃 said Holmes with a
tolerant smile。 〃You can file it in our archives; Watson。 Some day the
true story may be told。〃
…THE END…
