There are the Mounties, a story of the Royal North West Mounted Police. We present episode 16 in Blair of the Mounties, being part two of the Clover Creek Mystery. The little town of Renfield, Saskatchewan is greatly stirred over the drowning of Pete Sutton.

Our story opens at the close of the inquest, in the coroner's court. Mr. Foreman of the jury. Have you arrived at a verdict? We have your honor. And what is your verdict? Your honor, we find that the deceased Peter James Sutton met his death by accidental drowning.

Listen here, Sergeant. Did you hear that verdict? Yes, I heard it. Well, of course, I'm glad in a way. But didn't you look into things out at Clover Creek? Yes, I put in a hole there out there.

And you mean to say you didn't find anything? with the sudden I have nothing to say see here sergeant I'm going to put in a special request for an inquiry go ahead do whatever you think that why this is absolutely passed to a family hello Marshall if you get through the inquest yes it's all over what is the verdict they could only be one verdict

accidental death fine see here inspector you're an old friend of mine and you're my superior officer of course you know very well that man was murdered certainly Marshal, what are it? The whole thing is ridiculous.

Clayton, the lawyer for old Pete is up in the air. He knows there's something behind this case and he's talking about a special inquiry. That's going to get us into trouble. Clayton up in the air, is he? That's interesting.

I'm glad you find it interesting. The whole thing is loony to me. What's going to happen if I'm questioned about the facts of our investigation? Wait a minute, Marshal. Not as bad as that. I take all responsibility for withholding that evidence.
