"It was now that the possibility OF
Carl Balloons guilt first dawned. He
benefited by the death OF his brother
and also indirectly by that OF his sister

It would not have been impossible for
him to leave the banquet he was at

Aside from this, I had to ask myself
why, If Francis were successfully impli-

its course? Why commit crime, go
to extreme trouble in attaching the
guilt elsewhere, succeed in doing SO. and
then, after all, throw your trouble into
the discard for no reason?
