The Dead Woman

David H. Keller
3.35/5 (23 ratings)

He was found in the room with his wife, slightly confused, a trifle bewildered, but otherwise apparently normal. He made no effort to conceal his conduct any more than he did to the knife in his hand or the pieces in the trunk.

Fortunately the inspector was an officer of more than usual intelligence, and there was no effort made to give the third degree or even secure a written confession. Perhaps the Police Department felt it was too plain a case. At least it was handled intelligently and in a most scientific manner. The man was well fed, carefully bedded, and the next morning, after being bathed and shaved was taken to see a psychiatrist.

The specialist in mental diseases had the man comfortably seated. Knowing he smoked, he offered a cigar, which was accepted. Then, in a quiet, pleasant atmosphere, he made one statement and one request.

“I am sure, Mr. Thompson, that you had an excellent reason for acting as you did the other day. I wish you would tell me all about it.”

THE man gazed at the psychiatrist. “Will you believe me if I tell you?”
