About this book
The opening page announces baffling detective stories in which Fleming Stone, the great American Detective, displays his remarkable ingenuity for unravelling mysteries. In the chapter headed What Tessie Saw, Ned Knox touches Mears on the arm and detains him. Ned Knox says, “we can’t handle this thing with gloves on, you know.” Kinney goes in search of Tessie, who tells the story much as Violet had related it, with a mass of elaborate detail.
Tessie says it was Mrs. Knox, and that she could see the lace ruffles and the teeny-weeny rosebuds on the gown. The doctor says that in this case they have to assume swallowing, because a distinct odor was noticed on the dead man’s lips, and that the absence of any trace of poison in the stomach merely proves that only a minute quantity was taken. Knox says he has no testimony to give, that he knows nothing at all of the matter, and that he wants to know nothing.
