AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Set in a small country township - a newly-made Justice of the Peace (JP) murders his sickly nagging wife and suspicion falls on a prodigal son recently returned to the township and his childhood sweetheart. He is saved by testimony from the murderer's dwarfed and ill son who witnessed it - and later dies. The murderer dies in gaol and the sweethearts marry. A microscope plays a part. Post-master and local trooper also play a major part. (PB)
