The Magistrate's Own Case (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908. Excerpt: ... "Of Lord Faringdon nothing is known, from seven o'clock when he left the hotel and took the 7.16 train to Frankfort, no one has seen him, no one has heard anything of him, until his body is found next day in the Park. "On this point the magistrate, Dr. Braun, has conducted a far-reaching investigation; all that is known is that in the pocket of the murdered man a return ticket from Cronberg to Frankfort was found, which makes it probable that he was at Cronberg--but no one saw him there, and how he came back to Homburg no one can guess. "Witness after witness has strengthened our suspicion, one piece of evidence has been added to another, and the thing that weighs most heavily against the accused is his stubborn silence. You will now have an opportunity of hearing all these voices, you will have an opportunity of seeing and hearing the accused, and then it will be your duty to record your verdict--of course the counsel for the defence will also appear and lay claim to your attention. "In conclusion let me add that it is Dr. Sterner who by his able treatment of the case has collected the bulk of the evidence, and that in spite of creditable work on the part of his successor, Dr. Braun, nothing new of importance has been added. Dr. Sterner made way in deference to the wishes of the wife of the accused; and Dr. Braun has shown that his predecessor earnestly recommended him to try to get at facts which might be in favour of the accused, but these attempts have not been successful. It would be unjust to regret that Dr. Sterner did not complete the preparation of the case; there can be no doubt that he, who from personal grounds felt himself called to support the wife of the accused in her helpless condition, gave up a task, which, if he had carried it out to t...
