Summary

Find the motive for the crime and you have gone a long way towards solving the mystery. But here is a case in which the murderer began without a motive. He had conceived what he believed to be a prefect alibi. So strange are the workings of the human mind in given circumstances, that he felt impelled to test his alibi. The mystery might have remained a mystery if the motive had not crept in. "Spinnet" worked swiftly, and the end came with a crash!
