Mr. Posket.
Good gracious! What a good job the other two didn’t wait. I beg your pardon—I mean—you say we have four?
Mr. Wormington.
Yes, on the charge of obstructing the police. The first assault occurred in the supper-room—the second in the four-wheeled cab on the way to the station. There were five persons in the cab at the time—the two women, the two men, and the Inspector.
Mr. Posket.
Dear me, it must have been a very complicated assault. Who are the unfortunate people?
Mr. Wormington.
The men are of some position. [Reading.] “Alexander Lukyn, Colonel”——
