[00:00.49]'At the time the murder was committed, I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London,' said the man.
[00:09.17]'Do you always catch such an early train?' asked the inspector.
[00:15.12]'Of course I do,' answered the man. 'I must be at work at 10 o'clock. My employer will confirm that I was there on time.'
[00:26.79]'Would a later train get you to work on time?' asked the inspector.
[00:32.68]I suppose it would, but I never catch a later train.
[00:37.67]At what time did you arrive at the station?
[00:41.59]At ten to eight. I bought a paper and waited for the train.
[00:47.66]And you didn't notice anything unusual?
[00:52.06]Of course not.
[00:54.18]'I suggest,' said the inspector,
[00:58.08]that you are not telling the truth.
[01:00.80]I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train, but that you caught the 8.25 which would still get you to work on time.
[01:11.75]You see, on the morning of the murder, the 8 o'clock train did not run at all.
[01:18.95]It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line.
