What John Rance Had To Tell

From Brixton it's off to the telegraph office, where Holmes sends a telegram, then to the home of John Rance, the constable who found the body. On the way, Holmes explains how he deduced information from the clues at the crime scene, including that "Rache" was a trick to get the police to think that socialism and secret societies were involved in the murder. When they reach Rance, he explains that he was on his usual nightly patrol when he noticed a light in a house that was supposed to be empty, and discovered the body. Rance also chased away a drunk man, who Holmes is certain was the murderer. But there's one stroke of luck, the ring that was left at the crime scene can be used as bait to lure the killer back. With so much going on, Watson's going to need to rest, and so will you, so let tonight's story help you drift into restorative sleep.
