A Detective Story of Chloroform and Banking Robbery
An elderly detective recalls using chloroform in cold cases and recounts a bank robbery involving Brown Keep & Co. A trusted clerk with keys is suspected, but Ham Best uncovers the crime by linking the inside job to a carpenter’s skill with a wooden wedge. The tale extends to other cases and a wider view of early detective work.

After insistence the permit is granted, bribes are resisted, and the consul intervenes to settle the dispute.

He regains consciousness and escapes as robbers quarrel over loot.
