Then he held the watch out where

No one said a word, as he held up
a vial which he had drawn from his
pocket. On it they could read the la
bel, "Ricinus.'
"One of the most powerful poisons
in the world, he exclaimed Enough

They fairly gasped and looked at it
with horror, exchanging glances.
Opening the vial carefully, he
dipped in thin piece of glass and
