“Yes, I do.”
“All right. How far did you say the shooter person stood from his victim?”
“About ten feet—but I daresay it might be two or three feet, more or less.”
“No; they can judge closer’n that by the powder marks. The truth wouldn’t vary more’n a foot or so, from their say. Now, s’posin’ the shooter did throw the revolver out of the bay window, as the three Wheelers agree, severally, they did do, where would it most likely land?”
“In that clump of rhododendrons.”
“Yep; if they threw it straight ahead. I s’pose you’ve looked there for it?”
“Yes, raked the place thoroughly.”
“All right. Now if they slung the thing over toward the right, where would it land?”
“On the smooth lawn.”
“And you didn’t find it there!”
