[00:15.73]Lesson 87
[00:19.02]A perfect alibi
[00:22.03]'At the time the murder was committed
[00:24.09]I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London,'said the man.
[00:29.16]'Do you always catch such an early train? asked the inspector.
[00:34.14]'Of course I do,' answered the man.'I must be at work at 10 o'clock.
[00:39.08]My employer will confirm that I was there on time.'
[00:42.94]'Would a later train get you to work on time?'asked the inspector.
[00:47.56]'I suppose it would, but I never catch a later train.'
[00:52.45]'At what time did you arrive at the station?'
[00:56.04]'At ten to eight.I bought a paper and waited for the train.'
[01:01.12]'And you didn't notice anything unusual?'
[01:04.01]'Of course not.'
[01:05.98]'I suggest,'said the inspector,'that you are not telling the truth.
[01:10.63]I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train,
[01:13.90]but that you caught the 8.25 which would still get you to work on time.
[01:18.88]You see,on the morning of the murder,the 8 o'clock train did not run at all.
[01:24.01]It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line.'
