Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume III Hints

Who killed Charles Attard and why?

  • 1 of 7: The same gun that Cyril Maude used to kill Revell was used to kill Attard.
  • 2 of 7: But Maude's gun was stolen (the Irregulars who visited Maude's house will make this clear).
  • 3 of 7: Maude's murderer probably stole the gun.
  • 4 of 7: Curtis Twiggs is the murderer.
  • 5 of 7: If you read Twiggs's autopsy, you should know that he had a third bullet wound in his shoulder from a small caliber gun.
  • 6 of 7: Attard had such a gun.
  • 7 of 7: So Twiggs was acting in self-defense (A).
