B 24
Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle is a famous creator of fiction stories from U.K. One of his
famous stories is the adventure of Sherlock Holmes. But, here I’m going to tell
you about his other story, B 24 which was published for the first time in The
Stand Magazine in March 1899.
This
story tells us about a man in a trial that fought for his freedom from an
unfair punishment. He became a suspect in the murder case of Lord Mannering. He
told the whole story, the really real story to the judge. He tried to defend
himself but no one listened to him. He talked to the judge that he was not
guilty. He asked the judge to see the reality and not to corner him. He knew
that all these things were because of the wealth. No one would listen to him
because he was poor and had nothing.
The
real suspect was Lord Mannering’s wife, Lady Mannering. He told everyone that
she murdered her own husband by herself. He was so disappointed because
everybody decided to choose the wrong person to be not guilty. He told the
chronology was when he tried to robber a big and luxurious house, Lord
Mannering’s house. He heard someone coming out, so he hid in the garden of that
house. Then he heard a voice calling him. He saw a beautiful woman, Lady
Mannering coming to him and invited him to come to that house. He followed her
and took a look the house inside. She gave him a chance to robber her house.
That confused him and he asked why the lady did that. Then she said that she
hated her husband with a reason. But when they were talking, suddenly Lord
Mannering woke up from his sleep. So they both were hiding in a room. A few
minutes, the lord fell asleep again and the lady asked him to murder her
husband. This really confused him and he rejected to do this, so she murdered
her husband by herself. At once, the lord was murdered and the lady screamed
till a security caught them in that room. The lady told the security that her
husband was murdered by that man.
Once
more, no one believed his story. He said that Lady Mannering wanted to master
her husband’s wealth, so she murdered the lord. Finally, he could just receive
the judge’s decision to make him as a suspect.
