It was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London was interested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of the Hourable Ronald Adair under most unusual and inexplicable circumstances. The public has already learned those particulars of the crime which came out in the police investigation, but a good deal was suppressed upon that occasion, since the case for the prosecution was so overwhelmingly strong that it was t necessary to bring forward all the facts. Only w, at the end of nearly ten years, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up the whole of that remarkable chain. The crime was of interest in itself, but that interest was as thing to me compared to the inconceivable sequel, which afforded me the greatest shock and surprise of any event in my adventurous life. Even w, after this long interval, I find myself thrilling as I think of it, and feeling once more that sudden flood of joy, amazement, and incredulity which utterly submerged my mind.
