Benson Murder Case The Vance Factor
Philo Vance disputes District Attorney Markham over incriminating links tying Miss Muriel St Clair to Alvin Benson's murder. Markham cites a dinner, quarrel, and late night departure with the woman plus evidence from her apartment and her fiancé Captain Leacock. Vance argues the facts point to another direction and warns against wrongful arrest. The two head to the criminal courts for further questioning.
