One of the sluggers had died from being shot by a crook after making confession to one of the surgeons that he had been hired by the two Bellamy boys, and that therefore he ought to understand why his nephews had absconded from the city.
"They say th' jook was that poor he had to have his coat made out iv what was left over fr'm his pants, they do so. But he was at th' church bright an' early; an' Ganderbilk he was there, too, standin' out on th' steps in th' cold, combin' his whiskers he wears a pair iv sluggers with his fingers.
Besides that, there had to be a motive behind crime, and he knew of none in the doctor's case.

Then it must be, argued Bentley, that the doctor had his own reason for remaining away.
