was murder….When Cora is savagely murdered with a hatchet, the
extraordinary remark she made the previous day at her brother

the reading of Richard’s will, Cora was clearly heard to say:
‘It’s been hushed up very nicely, hasn’t it…But he was murdered,
wasn’t he?’ In desperation, the family solicitor turns to
