Explore "The Templeton Case" by Victor L. Whitechurch on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Anthony Crosby, busy man as he was, found a little time to follow up, from a natural curiosity, the strange letter that Reginald Templeton had addressed to him. As the letter had surmised, this was not very difficult to do. He consulted several old law lists, and made certain inquiries at the office of the Law Society in Chancery Lane.
The result was that he went to the newspaper reading-room, of the British Museum, where he had a reader's ticket, applied for files of newspapers twenty years old, and very soon made himself acquainted with the charge that had been brought against Winnie's father all those years ago. He shook his head as he read the case-embezzlement of clients' monies.
