Summary: Continuing the case of the murder of Emily Inglethorne.<br />
<strong>Poirot</strong> clears Cavendish by proving it was, after all,<br />
Alfred Inglethorp who committed the crime, assisted<br />
by Evelyn Howard, who turns out to be his kissing<br />
cousin, not his enemy. The guilty pair poisoned<br />
Emily by adding a precipitating agent, bromide (obtained<br />
from Mrs Inglethorp’s sleeping powder), to her<br />
regular evening medicine, causing its normally innocuous<br />
strychnine constituents to sink to the bottom of<br />
the bottle where they were finally consumed in a single,<br />
lethal dose. Their plan had been for Alfred Inglethorp<br />
to incriminate himself with false evidence, which could<br />
then be refuted at his trial. Once acquitted, due to double<br />
jeopardy, he could not be tried for the crime a second<br />
time should any genuine evidence against him be subsequently<br />
discovered, hence prompting <strong>Poirot</strong> to keep him<br />
out of prison when he realized that Alfred wanted to be<br />
arrested.<br />
