The Stabbing of George Harry Stores

By Jonathon Goodman.

in all but a few murder cases, the crime comes as a complete surprise to the victim: confident of dying naturally, he has made no effort to prevent the criminal quietus, has not augmented any preparation for a possible meeting with his Maker. In the Gorse Hall case, however, the victim, a man called George Harry Storrs, seems to have been warned of the fatal attack and to have taken some notice of the warning. Seems is the salient word. If we are to come anywhere near solving the mystery, we must concentrate on getting rid of the ambiguity.
