Once again, now, he produced the electric torch, and lighted it as he extinguished the lamp on the table.
"So you kept the silencer as a curiosity, Judge Marshall?" Dundee interrupted the pompous flow of rhetoric. "For years yes," the ex-judge answered, then his face went yellow and very old. "As I told you just now, I will withhold no fact that may be of any relevance whatever.... About two months ago in March, I believe our little group here took up target-shooting as a fad.
"Then so far as you know, the gun and silencer could have been removed at any time by any guest of yours between noon last Sunday and today?" Dundee went on relentlessly. "I suppose so. But these people have been my close friends for years," the judge answered. "Not one of them, sir " "After Mrs. Selim's departure last Sunday, did your other guests remain for any length of time?"

The eyes of the company, following the pointing finger, fell upon young Pickles standing at the window of the little vestry to the church, and looking in.
