Police officer Reed sat in his office, studying the reports on the three people who might have stolen the rich old man's collection of rare coins.
First, there was Barney, the man who looked after the old man's property. He had been cheating the old man for years and besides he was badly in debt. Almost certainly he had a set of keys to the house.
Next, there was the maid. She seemed honest enough herself, but the officer discovered that she was in love with a man who had spent many years in prison. Perhaps she had let him into the house the night the old man had been robbed.
Finally, there was the old man's own son. He had been in trouble even when he was at university. He too was in debt. Besides, he could have entered the room, where the collection was kept, at any time. The officer decided that he must question him again more carefully.
Just then there was a knock at the door and another officer Smith burst in.
"Sir," he announced, "the girl has admitted everything!"
