Lady
Dorrington, examining the crime scene
found evidence of another set of
footprints indicating an unaccounted third man at the crime scene. The footprints offered subtle indications
of a recoil, intimating that a weapon
had been fired.
There was a Canadian also staying at the Inn, claiming he was visiting for
sport hunting. His boots matched the
footprints. She secretly examined his
shotgun and deduced he was indeed the culprit.
As it turned out, he was a distant and forgotten relation to the family. Traveling under an assumed identity, he had
framed the young peer for murder - a hanging offense - with the scheme of coming forth after the
demise of the parents to claim the inheritance.
