The Rajah's Heirloom
Scotland Yard detective John Busby is sent to Manningford to probe the theft of a diamond necklace valued at £50,000 from Sir Henry Ellesmere. Suspicions fall on the widow and the baronet’s son, but a deaf mute dwarf and a vital clue lead to an exhumation. The jewels are found hidden in the coffin, revealed as the dwarf’s overheard plan, and the case ends with the heirloom recovered and the baronet dying of natural causes.
