HAD the Good Samaritan taken the victim of the outrage on the Jerusalem-Jericho by-pass to a modern police station he would have been lucky had he got away without any suspicion that he knew more of the wounds and the missing raiment than he chose to tell. He certainly would have been required to give a complete account of himself and what he was doing on the road at the time. If by chance he had partaken of the wine that he gave the luckless wayfarer, it would be recorded that his breath smelt of alcohol and he would be asked to stand on one foot and recite sibilant tongue-twisters. The Priest and the Levite are not always hard hearted. They only want to keep out of other people's troubles.
James Bagshaw knew what it would mean when he decided to stay by the derelict car and do all he could for its injured occupant. After he and his companions had left him at the hospital they went to the police station, which was not far off, and reported the matter.
