AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A decamping husband is murdered, and suspicion points to his alcoholic and deserted wife. But the evidence of the sinister of an invalid girl points to her landlady and the victim's charwoman - who drugged him and killed him with a tomahawk. Street policeman, a terrier dog, bribery, and 'the conning woman' all figure. (PB)
