The Piccadilly Murder (2011)
The Piccadilly Murder
“CHITTERWICK GOES A-VISITING And there for a time, so far as Mr. Chitterwick was concerned, the matter rested.
A newspaper sensation was created, of course. Photographs of the Piccadilly Palace lounge, the Fatal Table, the smart waitress, the doorkeeper, and the wife of one of the charwomen’s brother, appeared in every journal worth its circulation. Mr. Chitterwick appeared too, decorated with a deprecatory beam. But the caption attached to him was only “Saw Suspected Man with Aunt”; the vit...al part of his evidence remained a secret between himself and the police.
Sinclair was brought up before the magistrates the following morning, but only formal evidence of arrest was given, and he was remanded. As they left the police court together Moresby gave Mr. Chitterwick to understand that the police would now be concentrating their energies in finding other persons besides himself and the waitress who had seen the two together in the lounge during the crucial period between half-past two and three.MoreLess
