"ALMOST PERFECT."
CRIME'S ONE FLAW. LONDON, September 29. "A perfect crime's one flaw," is how the "Star" describes the finding of the revolver of Lindsay Marshall, who, with his wife, was found in a blazing limou- j sine in a Bedfordshire lane, subsequent revelations causing the coroner to return a verdict of murder and suicide. The revolver landed in a few inches of water, where it glittered, while the water on the other side of the bridge was 18 feet deep. It is also suggested that Marshall intended to overturn the car into the ditch after he had poisoned himself, shot his wife, and set fire to the car, but he misjudged the car's momentum. The insurance companies will pay £11,000 over his death. Another policy for £5000 wae voided by a euieide clause.
