I didn't care what happened to me then. And now, I have told you all." The young man, as he finished his story, buried his face in his hands, as though overcome by the recollection of the mental anguish he had been through, and what he had endured. "Not quite all, I think," said Colwyn, after a pause. "I have told you everything that counts," said Penreath, without looking up.
"This morning, in company with Mr. Oakham, I saw Penreath in the gaol, and by a ruse induced him to break his stubborn silence. His story, which it is not necessary for me to give you in detail, testifies to his innocence, and supports my own theory of the crime. He did not see the murder committed, but he saw the girl go into the room, and subsequently he saw her father enter and remove the body.
I have discovered sufficient additional evidence in this case to save Penreath, and I am going to save him, with or without your assistance. You have had your way it was a wrong way. Now I am going to have my way. I only ask you to trust me for a few hours. After I have seen Penreath you are at liberty to accompany me to the chief constable, to whom I shall tell everything. That is my last word."
"It is impossible to arrive at any other conclusion, in view of the evidence." "It is purely circumstantial. I thought that perhaps Penreath would have some statement to make which would throw a different light on the case." "I will be frank with you, Mr. Colwyn," said the solicitor.

"Mr. Colwyn," she said, "I understand you have been investigating this terrible affair. Will you tell me what you think of it? Do you believe that Mr. Penreath is guilty? You need not fear to be frank with me." "I will not hesitate to be so.
"You have no cause to be ashamed," replied Colwyn gently. "The bravest men suffer that way after shell-shock." "It's not a thing a man likes to talk about," said Penreath, after a pause. "But if you have had experience of this kind of thing, will you tell me if you have ever seen a man completely recover from shell-shock, I mean?" "I should say you will be quite yourself again shortly.
She asked him a number of questions, and he told her that there was no doubt that the man she was going to see was the man who had murdered Mr. Glenthorpe." "I suspected as much. But what else transpired during the interview? How did Penreath receive Miss Willoughby's remark?" "Most peculiarly.
The complete plan was too diabolically ingenious and complete to have formed in the murderer's mind at the outset. The man who put the match-box and knife by the bedside of the murdered man in order to divert suspicion to Penreath had no thought, at that stage, of removing the body.
Your suggestion that Penreath must have hidden the money in the pit because he was arrested near it is a choice example of false deduction based on the wrong premise that Penreath hid the money there on the night of the murder.
