About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: 25 CHAPTER XXVII. THE DEFENCE. The defence set up by Mr Blackstone followed his usual method. He was off-handed, almost flippant in tone, laughing the whole thing to scorn. The prosecution is weak, miserably weak, he cried, and must break down, for this, if for no other reason. There has not been the slightest attempt to show that the prisoner actually administered poison to the deceased? if poison was administered at all; and here again the evidence has absolutely failed. You cannot, gentlemen of the jury, you must not ignore such glaring flaws as these. But I wish you to realise all the glaringweaknesses and inconsistencies of the evidence. It is in the main artificial evidence, if I may use the word, ? manufactured on purpose?of course I do not say maliciously?but on purpose to back up and bear out the attack made. An aspiring, I may say a clever, detective has arrived at a certain conclusion, based on a possibility, perhaps, but a most misleading one, and all that has been adduced has been worked in to fit. We have been told that the prisoner and his young brother-in-law were bad friends?a reason for murdering him. That through his wife he would inherit all the Straddlethorpe property ? a stronger reason for murdering him. That when the blow, the cruel dastardly blow, had been struck, the prisoner threw every difficulty in the way of attempting recovery? a last convincing proof of homicidal intent. Thus the criminal was found ready to hand. Evidence of his guilt?a small matter, .of course ?alone was wanting. It was most ingeniously obtained by MrEarswick, the detective: I compliment him most sincerely on his constructive skill. But what is it all worth ? You will, I think, agree with me that everything turns upon that visit to the Cleobury...
