He will brief you on today's case from the official files of Scotland Yard. for 899MR952. Good afternoon. If you're a murderer by a trade, I would suggest that there is no sure a way to hasten the end of your career than to select a policeman as you've victim. Now this thing is the running board of a motor car. It was concerned in the brutal death by violence

of a police constable. Chief Inspector Creighton, tab-sitter, scop and yard knows more about this case than any other person. I think that's true, John. Although there were two other men who knew more about it than I. But they're not living. No, they're not. Comparatively few men survive hanging. The Chief Constable of Essex telephoned the CID from Ronford at 9.5 in the morning of Tuesday,

September 27, asking that officers be sent to Stapalford Abbots, a village halfway between Ronford and Longer on the London-Chonswood Road. I was first on the Chief Inspector's Road, so I was assigned to the case. A company by Detective Sergeant Philip Melanchon Wise, I went and once to Stapalford Abbots, which is about four miles outside the limits of the

Metropolitan Police Area. I was shown the body of Police Constable William George Greenley who had been stationed there and which had been found alongside the road a few miles from the village at 6 30 that morning, 27th. The council will explain to why is and me what had happened. We know it happened seven time after 1 30 a.m. chief
