+On the evening of the crime, he returned from the club exactly at ten.

+ The servant deposed that she heard him enter the front room on the second

+ She had lit a fire there, and as it smoked she had opened the window.
+ No sound was heard from the room until eleven-twenty, the hour of the return
+ of Lady Maynooth and her daughter.
+ Desiring to say good-night, she attempted to enter her son's room.
+ The door was locked on the inside, and no answer could be got to their

+ Help was obtained, and the door forced.
+ The unfortunate young man was found lying near the table.
+ His head had been horribly mutilated by an expanding revolver bullet, but

+A minute examination of the circumstances served only to make the case more
+ complex.
+ In the first place, no reason could be given why the young man should have
+ fastened the door upon the inside.
+ There was the possibility that the murderer had done this, and had afterwards
+ escaped by the window.
+ The drop was at least twenty feet, however, and a bed of crocuses in full
+ bloom lay beneath.
+ Neither the flowers nor the earth showed any sign of having been disturbed,
+ nor were there any marks upon the narrow strip of grass which separated
+ the house from the road.
+ Apparently, therefore, it was the young man himself who had fastened the
+ door.
+ But how did he come by his death? No one could have climbed up to the window
+ without leaving traces.
+ Suppose a man had fired through the window, he would indeed be a remarkable
+ shot who could with a revolver inflict so deadly a wound.
+ Again, Park Lane is a frequented thoroughfare; there is a cab stand within
+ a hundred yards of the house.
+ No one had heard a shot.
