In this bonus episode we’re looking at a moral and legal puzzle by the Scottish-Canadian master of irony, Robert Barr.  We’ve heard from Mr. Barr in the episode “The Doom of London”.  

First published in his 1896 collection Revenge!, Barr’s story “Which Was the Murderer?”  presents a case that feels modern in its critique of the justice system. It’s a story where the body is cold, the assailant is caught red-handed, and yet… the law might let him walk free on a technicality.

It’s a tale that forces a grieving woman into an impossible, chilling choice.  Enjoy!
