I would as soon be shot as do it,' said the miserable John; 'but it has to be done. These are the circumstances:--Mr. Bushell charges the prisoner with forgery. The prisoner answers that he received the cheque from Mr. Bushell, cashed it for him at the bank, and paid the money into his hands. The people at the bank keep a register of the number of all notes paid out and received; they supply the police with a copy of that register in this particular case, and of course it becomes the duty of the police to trace the notes and see whose hands they pass through. Now, here'--he handed her a slip of paper from a pigeon-hole in his desk--'here is a copy of the bank manager's memorandum.

Autorenporträt
British author David Christie Murray was born in West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England's High Street on April 7, 1847. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he wrote a large number of plays, short stories, and novels. He was well-known for his prolific literary career. Murray started out in journalism, contributing to a number of journals and newspapers. Later, he switched to fiction writing and became well-known for his socially conscious and realistic depictions of Victorian society. His writings txtered a broad range of topics, such as interpersonal dynamics, human psychology, and social challenges. Murray is most known for his writings "A Life's Atonement," "The Way of the World," and "Despair's Last Journey." Both readers and critics praised his books and stories, which helped him build a devoted following at the time. Even though Murray was a successful writer, he struggled with money issues all of his life. His health problems and drunkenness hindered his productivity and general well-being. Still, he wrote and published till the end of his life.
