Lestrade and Gregson glanced at each other with an incredulous smile. "If this man was murdered, how was it done?" asked the former. LESTRADE AND GREGSON GLANCED AT EACH OTHER WITH AN INCREDULOUS SMILE IF THIS MAN WAS MURDERED HOW WAS IT DONE ASKED THE FORMER
to give you any help I can. In the meantime I should like to speak to the constable who found the body. Can you give me his name and address?” Lestrade glanced at his note-book. “John Rance,” he said. “He is off duty now. You will find him at 46, Audley Court, Kennington Park Gate.” Holmes took a note of the address. “Come along, Doctor,” he said; “we shall go and look him up. I’ll tell you one thing which may help you in the case,” he continued, turning to the two detectives. “There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man. He was more than six feet high, was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height, wore coarse, square-toed boots and smoked a Trichinopoly cigar. He came here with his victim in a four-wheeled cab, which was drawn by a horse with three old shoes and one new one on his off fore leg. In all probability the murderer had a florid face, and the finger-nails of his right hand were remarkably long. These are only a few indications, but they may assist you.” TIGATIONS GO HE CONTINUED I SHALL BE HAPPY TO GIVE YOU ANY HELP I CAN IN THE MEANTIME I SHOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE CONSTABLE WHO FOUND THE BODY CAN YOU GIVE ME HIS NAME AND ADDRESS LESTRADE GLANCED AT HIS NOTE BOOK JOHN RENS HE SAID HE'S OFF DUTY NOW YOU'LL FIND HIM AT FORTY SIX OLDLY CO KENNINGTON PARK GATE HOLMES TOOK A NOTE OF THE ADDRESS COME ALONG DOCTOR HE SAID WE SHALL GO AND LOOK HIM UP I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING WHICH MAY HELP YOU IN THE CASE HE CONTINUED TURNING TO THE TWO DETECTIVES THERE HAS BEEN MURDER DONE AND THE MURDERER WAS A MAN HE WAS MORE THAN SIX FEET HIGH WAS IN THE PRIME OF LIFE HAD SMALL FEET FOR HIS HEIGHT WORE COARSE SQUARE TOED BOOTS AND SMOKED A TRICK ANOPOLY CIGAR HE CAME HERE WITH HIS VICTIM IN A FOUR WHEELED CAB WHICH WAS DRAWN BY A HORSE WITH THREE OLD SHOES AND ONE NEW ONE ON HIS OFF FORELEG IN ALL PROBABILITY THE MURDERER HAD A FLORID FACE AND THE FINGER NAILS OF HIS RIGHT HAND WERE REMARKABLY LONG THESE ARE ONLY A FEW INDICATIONS BUT THEY MAY ASSIST YOU
