The bedroom window was a broad one and opened from below.

On examination traces of blood were to be seen upon the windowsill, and several scattered drops were visible upon the wooden floor of the bedroom.

Thrust away behind a curtain in the front room were all the clothes of Mr.Neville St.Clair, with the exception of his coat.

His boots, his socks, his hat, and his watch--all were there.

There were no signs of violence upon any of these garments, and there were no other traces of Mr.Neville St.
Clair.
