Trooper Harrow and I had removed the body of the town mayor, Simpkins. His face contorted in the pain that had been obviously caused by his strangulation. With his own necktie, Trooper Harrow observed, "that's rough, let's talk to his wife", he suggested. Mrs. Simpkins said her husband had gone to bed early the night before. Then about dawn, she said, he awakened screaming, claiming that he'd seen a face in the bedroom window. He put on some clothes in his fright and ran out of the house. "At the last I saw him", she continued, "I doubt your story from nightfall to dawn", I said. I'll explain. In the case of the fancy fugitive, if the mayor dressed hurriedly to escape, he hardly would have put on a tie, which was the murder weapon. Who tied the tie? His wife.
