The aim for this chapter is to show how the LaTeX package
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
multicol
|
|
\family default
|
|
can be used in a LyX document.
|
|
As LyX doesn't support the
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
multicol
|
|
\family default
|
|
package natively yet, we have to use some small hacks.
|
|
By reading this section it should be obvious how to do this.

The

multicol

package allows switching between one and multicolumn format on the same

page.
|
|
Footnotes are handled correctly (for the most part), but will be placed
|

at the bottom of the page and not under each column.
|
|
LaTeX's float mechanism, however, is partly disabled in the current implementat

|

At the moment only page-wide floats can be used within the scope of the

It was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London was interested, and
|
|
the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of the Honourable Ronald
|
|
Adair under most unusual and inexplicable circumstances.
|
|
The public has already learned those particulars of the crime which came
|
|
out in the police investigation, but a good deal was suppressed upon that
|
|
occasion, since the case for the prosecution was so overwhelmingly strong
|
|
that it was not necessary to bring forward all the facts.
|
|
Only now, at the end of nearly ten years, am I allowed to supply those
|
|
missing links which make up the whole of that remarkable chain.
|
|
The crime was of interest in itself, but that interest was as nothing to
|
|
me compared to the inconceivable sequel, which afforded me the greatest
|
|
shock and surprise of any event in my adventurous life.
|
|
Even now, after this long interval, I find myself thrilling as I think
|
|
of it, and feeling once more that sudden flood of joy, amazement, and increduli
|
|
ty which utterly submerged my mind.
|
|
Let me say to that public, which has shown some interest in those glimpses
|
|
which I have occasionally given them of the thoughts and actions of a very
|
|
remarkable man, that they are not to blame me if I have not shared my knowledge
|
|
with them, for I should have considered it my first duty to do so, had
|
|
I not been barred by a positive prohibition from his own lips, which was
|
|
only withdrawn upon the third of last month.

It can be imagined that my close intimacy with Sherlock Holmes had interested
|
|
me deeply in crime, and that after his disappearance I never failed to
|
|
read with care the various problems which came before the public.
|
|
And I even attempted, more than once, for my own private satisfaction,
|
|
to employ his methods in their solution, though with indifferent success.
|
|
There was none, however, which appealed to me like this tragedy of Ronald
|
|
Adair.
|
|
As I read the evidence at the inquest, which led up to a verdict of willful
|
|
murder against some person or persons unknown, I realized more clearly
|
|
than I had ever done the loss which the community had sustained by the
|
|
death of Sherlock Holmes.
|
|
There were points about this strange business which would, I was sure,
|
|
have specially appealed to him, and the efforts of the police would have
|
|
been supplemented, or more probably anticipated, by the trained observation
|
|
and the alert mind of the first criminal agent in Europe.
|
|
All day, as I drove upon my round, I turned over the case in my mind and
|
|
found no explanation which appeared to me to be adequate.
|
|
At the risk of telling a twice-told tale, I will recapitulate the facts
|
|
as they were known to the public at the conclusion of the inquest.

The youth moved in the best society--had, so far as was known, no enemies
|
|
and no particular vices.
|
|
He had been engaged to Miss Edith Woodley, of Carstairs, but the engagement
|
|
had been broken off by mutual consent some months before, and there was
|
|
no sign that it had left any very profound feeling behind it.
|
|
For the rest {sic} the man's life moved in a narrow and conventional circle,
|
|
for his habits were quiet and his nature unemotional.
|
|
Yet it was upon this easy-going young aristocrat that death came, in most
|
|
strange and unexpected form, between the hours of ten and eleven-twenty
|
|
on the night of March 30, 1894.

Ronald Adair was fond of cards--playing continually, but never for such
|
|
stakes as would hurt him.
|
|
He was a member of the Baldwin, the Cavendish, and the Bagatelle card clubs.
|
|
It was shown that, after dinner on the day of his death, he had played
|
|
a rubber of whist at the latter club.
|
|
He had also played there in the afternoon.

|
|
The evidence of those who had played with him-- Mr.
|
|
Murray, Sir John Hardy, and Colonel Moran--showed that the game was whist,
|
|
and that there was a fairly equal fall of the cards.
|
|
Adair might have lost five pounds, but not more.
|
|
His fortune was a considerable one, and such a loss could not in any way
|
|
affect him.
|
|
He had played nearly every day at one club or other, but he was a cautious
|
|
player, and usually rose a winner.
|
|
It came out in evidence that, in partnership with Colonel Moran, he had
|
|
actually won as much as four hundred and twenty pounds in a sitting, some
|
|
weeks before, from Godfrey Milner and Lord Balmoral.
|
|
So much for his recent history as it came out at the inquest.

On the evening of the crime, he returned from the club exactly at ten.
|
|
His mother and sister were out spending the evening with a relation.
|
|
The servant deposed that she heard him enter the front room on the second
|
|
floor, generally used as his sitting-room.
|
|
She had lit a fire there, and as it smoked she had opened the window.
|
|
No sound was heard from the room until eleven-twenty, the hour of the return
|
|
of Lady Maynooth and her daughter.
|
|
Desiring to say good-night, she attempted to enter her son's room.
|
|
The door was locked on the inside, and no answer could be got to their
|
|
cries and knocking.
|
|
Help was obtained, and the door forced.
|
|
The unfortunate young man was found lying near the table.
|
|
His head had been horribly mutilated by an expanding revolver bullet, but
|
|
no weapon of any sort was to be found in the room.
|
|
On the table lay two bank notes for ten pounds each and seventeen pounds
|
|
ten in silver and gold, the money arranged in little piles of varying amount.
|
|
There were some figures also upon a sheet of paper, with the names of some
|
|
club friends opposite to them, from which it was conjectured that before
|
|
his death he was endeavouring to make out his losses or winnings at cards.

A minute examination of the circumstances served only to make the case more
|
|
complex.
|
|
In the first place, no reason could be given why the young man should have
|
|
fastened the door upon the inside.
|
|
There was the possibility that the murderer had done this, and had afterwards
|
|
escaped by the window.
|
|
The drop was at least twenty feet, however, and a bed of crocuses in full
|
|
bloom lay beneath.
|
|
Neither the flowers nor the earth showed any sign of having been disturbed,
|
|
nor were there any marks upon the narrow strip of grass which separated
|
|
the house from the road.
|
|
Apparently, therefore, it was the young man himself who had fastened the
|
|
door.
|
|
But how did he come by his death? No one could have climbed up to the window
|
|
without leaving traces.
|
|
Suppose a man had fired through the window, he would indeed be a remarkable
|
|
shot who could with a revolver inflict so deadly a wound.
|
|
Again, Park Lane is a frequented thoroughfare; there is a cab stand within
|
|
a hundred yards of the house.
|
|
No one had heard a shot.
|
|
And yet there was the dead man and there the revolver bullet, which had
|
|
mushroomed out, as soft-nosed bullets will, and so inflicted a wound which
|
|
must have caused instantaneous death.
|
|
Such were the circumstances of the Park Lane Mystery, which were further
|
|
complicated by entire absence of motive, since, as I have said, young Adair
|
|
was not known to have any enemy, and no attempt had been made to remove
|
|
the money or valuables in the room.

All day I turned these facts over in my mind, endeavouring to hit upon some
|
|
theory which could reconcile them all, and to find that line of least resistanc
|
|
e which my poor friend had declared to be the starting-point of every investigat
|
|
ion.
|
|
I confess that I made little progress.
|
|
In the evening I strolled across the Park, and found myself about six o'clock
|
|
at the Oxford Street end of Park Lane.
|
|
A group of loafers upon the pavements, all staring up at a particular window,
|
|
directed me to the house which I had come to see.
|
|
A tall, thin man with coloured glasses, whom I strongly suspected of being
|
|
a plain-clothes detective, was pointing out some theory of his own, while
|
|
the others crowded round to listen to what he said.
|
|
I got as near him as I could, but his observations seemed to me to be absurd,
|
|
so I withdrew again in some disgust.
|
|
As I did so I struck against an elderly, deformed man, who had been behind
|
|
me, and I knocked down several books which he was carrying.
|
|
I remember that as I picked them up, I observed the title of one of them,
|
|
THE ORIGIN OF TREE WORSHIP, and it struck me that the fellow must be some
|
|
poor bibliophile, who, either as a trade or as a hobby, was a collector
|
|
of obscure volumes.
|
|
I endeavoured to apologize for the accident, but it was evident that these
|
|
books which I had so unfortunately maltreated were very precious objects
|
|
in the eyes of their owner.
|
|
With a snarl of contempt he turned upon his heel, and I saw his curved
|
|
back and white side-whiskers disappear among the throng.

My observations of No.
|
|
427 Park Lane did little to clear up the problem in which I was interested.
|
|
The house was separated from the street by a low wall and railing, the
|
|
whole not more than five feet high.
|
|
It was perfectly easy, therefore, for anyone to get into the garden, but
|
|
the window was entirely inaccessible, since there was no water pipe or
|
|
anything which could help the most active man to climb it.
|
|
More puzzled than ever, I retraced my steps to Kensington.
|
|
I had not been in my study five minutes when the maid entered to say that
|
|
a person desired to see me.
|
|
To my astonishment it was none other than my strange old book collector,
|
|
his sharp, wizened face peering out from a frame of white hair, and his
|
|
precious volumes, a dozen of them at least, wedged under his right arm.
