SYNOPSIS Could such a thing really happen in the impeccably legal firm of Horniman, Birley and Craine ? The use of hermetically sealed deed-boxes was one of the finer points of the Horniman System ; and it was scarcely to be expected that the body of one of the firm's clients should be found dead, after some weeks, in the Ichabod Stokes Trust box. If there was any consolation for this occasion it was that Henry Bohun had newly joined the firm ; a remarkable man, and a friend, moreover, of Inspector Hazlerigg of Close Quarters fame, who took the case in hand.
