starts spending money like water.
One month later he receives a letter
asking him to call at Enright's Office.
What happened there is probably

of the existence of the will, and it was

he came into the estate-tricked by
Enright. John Cavendish may be in
nocent, or he may be guilty, but one
thing is certain-he's being badgered
to death by two people, from what
