The Murder of Charles Walton
Walton shared his home with adoptive niece, Edie. When she returned from her own job at 6pm that evening, she was alarmed to discover that she was alone in the cottage. Fearing that perhaps he had fallen ill or worse, Edie and neighbor Harry Beasley set off to look for him. One witness at another farm did report seeing someone that was assumed to have been Walton trimming hedges off in the distance. -
Evidence and the Investigation
Even a pair of hardened big city detectives such as Fabian and Webb still felt chills at the stories Spooner revealed to them. However, they were still officers of the law and proceeded to investigate the crime through the eyes of 20th century police officers. An incident room was set up in Stratford and one of the first things that was done was to take aerial photographs of the crime scene. -
Evidence and the Investigation
When Fabian questioned the farmer regarded as being the last man to have seen Walton alive, Albert Potter, an anomaly was discovered. Potter said that the person he saw was wearing a shirt with sleeves, but when Walton’s body was found, he was dressed in a sleeveless work shirt.
