AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A Market Street share broker murders his brother and makes it appear as suicide in an attempt to escape his creditors and the brother's balckmail. Detective's work, and office boy's reluctant evidence, and the discovery of the share-broker's body disfigured exactly as his brother's, closes the case. (PB)
