Churchyard And Hawke (2009)
“There had been no time to prove whether or not the share certificates found in his possession were forgeries.
He protested his innocence and insisted he was Sir Richard Donahue of the government’s treasury department, but his pleas failed to impress the Cornish magistrate.
Meanwhile, Amos had briefed the Chief Constable on the events of the previous twenty-four hours and the police chief was well-satisfied with all that was being done to protect those attending that evening’s charity ball. Like... Amos, he too was concerned that none of the Hoxton criminals had been among those found on the boat but even as the two were speaking news was received that an astute police inspector in Liskeard, a town approximately halfway between Looe and Bodmin, had discovered that some ‘London men’ had hired four vehicles there, namely two wagonettes; a light one-horse phaeton and a luggage van.
The information from the hirer of the vehicles was that the men had paid for their hire until Sunday evening, telling him the vehicles were to be used by a holidaying party who had ‘come to Cornwall by boat’ and wanted the vehicles to take them on a picnic to Bodmin moor.MoreLess
