Mathews case and the trick that saved him
The narrator recalls assisting Mathews, accused of murder, by exposing circumstantial evidence forged to condemn him. Mathews, employed by Henderson, faced execution but was later found alive after a staged death. The plan involved a disguise and a doctor’s hospital setting, with funds secured from the state to enable the escape. Mathews later lived abroad, paying debts and avoiding exposure to his wife and solicitors.
