Review:
While not big on deductions this episode has a startling conclusion.


	Holmes held up the paper
	My wife threw her arms round me
	“I suppose that you are the detectives from London?” said he
	They both remembered that they wre conscious of the smell of powder
	He bent forward and picked up a little brazen cylinder
	Holmes clapped a pistol to his head and Martin slipped the handcuffs over his wrists
	He buried his face in his manacled hands
