description: Could such a thing happen to the impeccable old legal firm of Horniman, Birley and Craine? The use of hermetically sealed deed-boxes is one of the finer points of the Horniman system; and it was scarcely to be expected that the body of one of the firm's esteemed clients should be found dead(after some weeks) in the Ichabod Stokes Trust Box.
