It was about half past noon when Jeff Regan reported to the Lyon's office to see what was on tap for the afternoon. He sees a haughty little man sitting across the desk from the Lyon, who had his mouth wide open. He says "Jeffery, come in here, I've been waiting for you. This is Mr. uhh ... " The little man says "McMurray, Jonathan McMurray". Lyon says "Yes, McMurray. He thinks he needs our help". Jeff asks "Not sure yet, Mr. McMurray?" He says "Yes, I am quite sure. It is your employer, Mr. Lyon who is not sure". Lyon says "Oh well now, yours is a very unusual case". Jeff says "Suppose somebody tells me what this is all about". McMurray says "Mr. Regan, it's quite simple. I want you to prove I am guilty of murder". Jeff says "What?" McMurray says "I have murdered my wife, Mr. Regan. I've gone to the police and confessed. They refuse to believe me. It's up to you to prove I'm right". Lyon says "Of course, Jeffery ...." Jeff says "Wait a minute, Fatso, let's get all the story. Mac, when did you kill your wife? McMurray says "On the morning of April 3rd at 3 AM, three years ago. I had gone to bed early the night of April 2nd. I heard noises several hours later. I assumed they were burglars, so I went downstairs, taking my gun of course, and saw a figure breaking in. Naturally, I fired. It was my wife". Jeff says "Your wife was breaking into your own house?" McMurray says "It seemed that way at the time. We all make mistakes, you know". Jeff says "We all make mistakes". McMurray says "Of course. I do not believe in murder, that is why I am here". Jeff says "The police wouldn't believe you". McMurray says "They're nothing but a group of incompetent immoral civil servants ...." Jeff says "What happened after you shot your wife?" McMurray says "I lost my head and fled the city and for three years". Jeff says "So, your conscience got to bothering you?" McMurray says "Yes, I decided that I must make an example of myself". Lyon says "Hey, Jeffrey, perhaps we'd better explain to Mr. McMurray that we're pretty busy this season here ...."
