CHAPTER TUir.TY EOSALEEN rose to take the stand. She passed Major Porter. He looked at her with some cunos.ty. She did nut even glance at him. "Mrs Cloade. you were taken by the police to see the body of the deceased." She ahivered. '* • - •'Ye».“ "You stated definitely that It was the body of a man completely unknown to you?” "Yes." "In view of the statement just made by Major Porter would you like to withdraw or amend your own statement?’'

"Na" "You still assert definitely that I' the txxiy was not that of your bus* I band. Robert L’nderhay?” I 1 "It was not my husband’s body. I It was a man I had never seen in my life.” I. "Come now, Mrs. Cloade, Major Porter has definitely recognized It 11 as the body of bls friend Robert I Underhay. ” I Rosaleen said expressionlessly: 1 "Major Porter is mistaken.” "You are not under oath tn this court, Mrs. Cloade. But it is likely that you will be under oath in another court shortly. Are you prepared then to swear that the body I is not that of Robert L’nderhay I but of an unknown stranger." "1 am prepared to swear that it is not the body of my husband but j oi a man quite unknown to me.’" I Her voice was clear and unfal-| tenng. Her eyes met the Coroner I unshrinkingly. | He murmured: “You can itand down.” Then, removing his ptnee nez, he add reseed the jury. They were there to discover how | this man came to his death. As to that, there could be little question. There could be no idea of accident or suicide. Nor could there be any suggestion of manslaughter. There remained only one verdict—wilful murder. As to the identity of the dead man. that was not clearly established. They had beard one witness, a man of upright character and probity whose word could be relied upon, etry that the body was that of a former friend of his. •tobert l’nderhay. On the other hand Robert Underhays death from fever had been established in IMS apparently to the satisfaction of the local authorities and no question had then been raised. In contradiction of Major Porters statement, Robert Underhay's widow. now Mrs. Gordon Cloade. stated positively that the body was not UM of Robert L’aderhay. These were &ametr.caUy opposite

statements. Passing from the question ot identity they would have to decide if there was any evidence to show whose nand bad murdered the deceased. They might think that the evidence pointed to a certain person, but a good deal , ot evidence was needed before a case could be made out —evidence of motive, and opportunity. The person must have been seen by someone tn the victnity ot the crime at the appropriate time. If there was not such evidence the best verdict was that ot Wilful t Murder without sufficient evidence 4 to show by whose hand. Such a . verdict would leave the police free

to pursue the necessary inquiries. | < He then dismissed them to con-1 elder their Verdict. j They look three quarters of an hour. 1 1 They returned a Verdict of Wil- ( ful Murder against David Hunter. I "1 was afraid they’d do it,” said I the Coroner apologetically. "Local prejudice! Feeling rather than logic.” I The Coroner, the Chief Con-1 stable, Superintendent Spence and Hercule Poirot were all in consul-1 tatlon together after the Inquest. "You did your best,” said the I Chief Constable. "It's premature, to say the least of it,” said Spence frowning. "And lit hampers us. Do you know M. Hercule Poirot? He was instruI mental in bringing Porter for-1 | ward.” j The Coroner said graciously: "I have heard of you, M. Poirot," and Poirot made an unsuccessful I attempt to look modest. “M. Poirot’s interested In the case,” said Spence with a grin. "Truly, that is so,” said Poirot I"1 was tn it, as you might say. before there was a case.” And in answer to their interested 1 glances he told <ot the queer little scene tn the dub when he had first ’ heard a mention of Robert Under--1 hay's name "That's an additional point hi’ ’ Porter’s evidence when the case • I comes to trial," said the Chief • Constable thoughtfully. "Underhay actually planned a pretended death i —and spoke of using the name of 1 Enoch Arden.” -I The Chief Constable murmured: i "Ah, but will that be admissible . as evidence? Words spoken by a r man who is now dead ?” 1 "It may not be admissible as i evidence," said Poirot thoughtfully. i "Bu| it raises a very Interesting » and suggestive line of thought” i "What we want,” said Spence, » is not suggestion, but a few con- - Crete facta Someone who actually •. saw Dadd Hunt? at the stag or • near it on Saturday evening" r.

"He counted on that?” suggested the Chief Constable. "Maybe,” said Spence. His exireesion was not a happy one. Presently the Chief Constable ind the Coroner departed.

"He’s the kind that you never know where you are with them. When they're most innocent of a business, they act aa though they were guilty. And when they're guilty, why, you’d take your oath they were angels of light!” "You think he is guilty?" asked Poirot "Don’t you?” Spence countered. Poirot spread out his hands. "I should be interested to know,' he said, "just exactly how muck you have against him?” “You don’t mean legally? You mean in the way of probability I' Poirot nodded.
