Sherlock Holmes and the Woman in Green Page #5

---

What do you make

of it. Doctor?

Shot in the back.

Between the second

and third ribs.

The bullet undoubtedly

penetrated the heart.

Look at the powder

marks on his coat.

I was afraid of this.

What do you mean?

Don't you remember

the man in the cab

who followed Miss

Fenwick to Baker Street?

Well. you don't think

he had anything

to do with it. Do you?

Well. I think it's

reasonable to assume

that he tipped off someone

that I've been sent for.

Sir George has

obviously been murdered

to keep him from

telling me what he knew.

What was the weapon used?

Small caliber revolver.

Point-blank range by

the look of the wound.

The murderer came in

through those

French windows.

Look at the mud

from the garden

he brought in

on his boots.

Sir George must have

surprised the intruder

and crossed the

room to him here.

What follows.

We can't tell.

But from the

location of the wound.

I'd say that he turned

his back for a moment.

And as he turned.

The muzzle of

the revolver was

placed between his ribs

and one muffled

shot fired.

And you mean to

say he kept on going

even after he was shot?

There's no

doubt about it.

Look there.

A trail of blood leads

us back to the desk.

There's something

Sir George was after.

Some thing.

I know. He was trying to

summon help. Poor chap.

I don't think so. Watson.

There's the bell pull

by the fireplace.

No. you'll notice from

the trail of blood

that Sir George

made straight

for this desk here.

I wonder...

there was something

he was desperately

anxious to get.

Hello? His right

hand is clenched.

That's perfectly natural.

The left hand lies open.

Why only one hand clenched

in the death agony.

The right hand. The

hand nearest the desk.

Please note that.

If Sir George took

something off this desk.

Something so important

that he spilled his last

drop of blood to get it.

I want to know what it is.

It's nothing but an

ordinary match folder.

Where does that lead us?

I imagine to something

very important. Gregson.

This match folder is

from Pembroke House.

Why shouldn't it be?

He was there. you know?

We saw him yesterday.

Yes. But the effort he

made after he was shot

to get hold of

this match folder.

It's just possible.

He wanted someone to

remember Pembroke House.

He may have wished to

recall it to someone

who saw him there.

Someone who...

like ourselves.

Saw him with a woman.

(Knock on door)

Come in.

Oh. Dr. Watson.

This came by hand

for Mr. Holmes

not ten minutes ago.

Thank you. Mrs. Hudson.

That would be the report

from Sir George's bank.

Oh. Really?

Don't you remember

his daughter told us

that he just

closed his account?

Had it looked
