Leonard Vole with his barrister came to the solicitor and asked him to help him in his case. He had
visited an old woman who was found murdered soon after his visit. She had left much money to him. He is
regarded to be the murderer and is arrested. At the trial he pleads guilty. The prosecuting counsel says that the
murdered woman Mrs French was treated by Vole with kindness. He also mentions that the death was caused
by a blow of a sharp knife. He examines his witnesses. Sir Wilfred makes his cross-examinations but without
any success.
