Weasels inhabit fixed territories with cover along swampy ground. Their trails run through low marshy areas and often follow old rail fences, beneath bridges, or through dense woods.
Dangers of Carbon Monoxide in Air Levels Cited
An article notes that exposure to fifteen parts of carbon monoxide in ten thousand parts of air for an hour risks death. It also states that three to four parts CO per ten thousand air may cause headache drowsiness and irritability.
Photograph Clue Poses Gardener as Vail Murder Suspect
In Lakeside Cottage, a gardener’s shadowy presence near Vail’s door emerges from a two thirty photo. Loren’s shot, later reviewed by James Ruxton and Sue, hints at the killer’s location but cannot identify the person. Finn arrives confident, offered as Hillyer’s deputy after the image is shown.
